Alright next movement is the inner thigh stretch. So what you're gonna do is get down on the floor. You're gonna keep one leg bent just like this. Bring the other leg out onto your heel and you're gonna lean into it. You're gonna feel the stretch all through your inner thigh. You're gonna hold that for about 20 seconds and then you're gonna switch legs. Same thing other side. So lean down into it. Feel a good stretch in that inner thigh. This is a great stretch to do before running, cardio, leg workouts. Wanna make sure your hamstrings are completely stretched out so your inner thigh is one of the area that can completely cramp up if you're doing a leg workout and you don't want that to happen. And it's good to go back and fourth too. Do more then one set, so go back and forth. Hold it again for 20 seconds. Feel a good stretch in that inner thigh and then same thing other side. It's best to definitely hold it for about 20 seconds and then switch over. Sometimes you see people bouncing back and forth thinking that they're getting a good stretch and they're getting a deeper stretch. When really they can hurt themselves by not letting their muscles really work themselves into the stretch and get warmed up. So kinda bouncing back and forth kinda jerks the muscles and doesn't allow them to really work into that stretch. So it's better to hold it there then to jerk back and forth. So that is how you do the inner thigh stretch.
