Side Lunge Adductor Stretch
Feet wide, bend one knee and shift over it while the other leg stays straight; the inner thigh of the straight leg stretches.
How to do it
Setup
Standing with the feet wide apart, toes forward, hands on the thighs.
Steps
- Bend one knee and shift the hips over that foot.
- Keep the other leg straight, its foot flat, until the inner thigh stretches.
- Hold and breathe, then shift across to the other side.
Common mistakes
Bent knee caving inward: it tracks over the toes. The straight leg's foot rolling onto its edge: keep the sole flat. Rounding the back to go lower: sit the hips back and keep the chest up.
Breathing
Slow and even through the hold.
