This : This is a situation that requires a medical evaluation to rule out something serious. You could have a congenital hip dysplasia (something you were born with and has gone undiagnosed). This is not likely but a possibilty. On the other hand, some people have loose joints, and the new exercise routine likely caused this problem to occur. The bottom line here is to visit your doctor. After a history and careful exam you may need an x-ray. Best of luck.
