N/AThe Hip Adductor stretch targets the adductor muscles on the inner thighs by stretching the hip and groin muscles.
Proper form:
- Sit on the floor with your back straight and your legs extended out in front of you.
- Slowly bring the soles of your feet together and allow your knees to drop out to the sides.
- Use your hands to gently press down on your thighs towards the floor.
- Hold the stretch for 15-30 seconds.
- Repeat for 2-4 sets.
How to reduce difficulty: If you find the stretch too challenging, you can try sitting on a cushion or folded blanket to elevate your hips. You can also hold the stretch for a shorter period of time.
How to increase difficulty: To increase the stretch, you can lean forward and reach towards your feet, or use your elbows to gently press down on your thighs.
Number of reps: Hold each stretch for 15-30 seconds, repeating for 2-4 sets.
Estimated time for exercise: 2-4 minutes
