Muscle Group(s): adductors/inner thighs

Equipment: none

Exercise groups: Lower Body Exercises, Full Body Exercises, Lower Body Exercises, Core Strengthening Exercises, Upper Body Exercises, Posture Strengthening Exercises

Coaching Cues:
On elbows and knees, spread knees apart, inhale to push hips back to feel stretch

Before starting:

Breathing well through this or any stretch helps to improve its mobility.

1. Position yourself on all fours - down on your elbows and the knees as wide as you can comfortably go.

2. Inhale and slowly rock your hips backwards to feel the stretch increase.

3. Exhale as you return to the start. Continue to rock yourself forward and back, slowly, and breathe during the reps.
