Here is another inner thigh stretch. This one is on one knee somewhat like the “Half Kneeling Inner Thigh Stretch” but one leg is straight.

Instructions:

-Kneel on the floor on all fours. Straighten one leg out to the side.  So hips are squared to front.

-Move hips back (towards foot) and forth.

You will feel the stretch in the inner thigh of the straight leg.

Options and additional information:

-The “back” foot, the one with the bent knee, can be top-of-foot to floor or you can have your toes curled.

-The foot of the straight leg, can be flat on the floor or you can be on the inner edge of your foot.

-The foot of the straight leg, can have toes pointed to the front, out at an angle, or out to the side.

-You can just sit your hips back and not move them.

See what works best for you and what gives you the stretch you need.

As I said in the other inner thigh stretch post, there are many different ways to stretch a muscle.

If you keep your toes curled (on the kneeling leg) you will be getting a foot stretch like in our Toe Squat.

How is it going – your stretching? Are you able to get a couple in a day?
