Straight Leg Inner Thigh Stretch

Posted by terrepruitt on August 28, 2023

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?
