Standing Wide Knees Adductor Stretch
From a wide stance with the toes out, sit down until the thighs are level and press the knees apart with straight arms; the inner thighs stretch.
How to do it
Setup
Standing with the feet wide, toes turned out, hands resting on the thighs above the knees.
Steps
- Sit the hips down until the thighs are about level.
- Press the knees out with straight arms, chest up.
- Hold and breathe, then stand up through the whole foot.
Common mistakes
Knees falling inward: push them out over the feet. Rounding the back as you press: keep the chest lifted and the back long. Heels lifting: turn the toes out a little more or sit less deep.
Breathing
Slow and even through the hold.
