Muscles Stretched: Hips, groin and adductors

Description

1. Stand upright, with both feet facing forward, double shoulder-width apart.
2. Place your hands on your hips or thighs, in order to keep your back straight.
3. Slowly exhale, taking your bodyweight across to one side.
4. Avoid leaning forward, or taking the knee of the bent leg over your toes. As you increase the stretch, the foot of the bent leg should point slightly outward.
5. To increase the stretch, relax upward, slowly sliding your feet out a few inches further to the side.
