How to Stretch Your Inner Thighs
The inner thigh muscles, also called the adductors, can easily become tight if not stretched regularly. The adductors are part of your core musculature and if tight will also be weak. Stretch them daily if possible, or at least as often as you can.

Tips & Warnings
If your knees are more than 45 degrees from the floor your adductors could benefit from some consistent stretching. Stretch one to three times a day for up to a minute for best results.
Never stretch to the point of pain, only mild discomfort. You can tear something if you push too hard.
