How to Do Groin Stretches

A good groin stretch will loosen up your legs and back and really loosen up your body.

Instructions

1. Stand on the floor with your legs straight and about 2 feet apart. Continue sliding your feet along the floor to stretch your legs further apart. You should start to feel the stretch in you hips and groin area.

2. Keep your feet and legs where they are and bend at the waist until you are able to put your hands on the floor and lean your body forward.

3. Slowly bend one leg and bring your upper body down until you are nearly sitting on the bent leg. Use your hands on the floor to balance you and keep your other leg straight out with your foot still on the floor. You'll feel the stretch in your groin.

4. Switch to the other side by bringing your body back to the shape it was in Step 2. Then bend the other leg until you're nearly sitting on top of it and stretching the other leg.

Tips & Warnings

• If the stretch is causing you pain, stop doing it. You may risk pulling a muscle.
