Hi, I'm coach Morgan Johnson, and today I'm going to show you the butterfly stretch for the abductor longus. The butterfly stretch is a great way to open up and loosen the abductor longus muscles. To begin I recommend using a prop such as a folded mat so that you are not concerned about lower back or hamstring flexibility during the exercise. To start sit square on your prop with your back straight, shoulders down and back. You are going to take the soles of your feet and bring them together in front of you. Once the feet are together grasp the top of the foot where it meets the ankles. And you can put your elbows on your knees to help give a little added pressure to lower the knees down. While you are in this position do make an effort to try and maintain a straight torso, as that is going to give you a deeper and more effective stretch. Once you're done slowly release the elbows. Sit up straight and then slowly release the legs. I'm coach Morgan Johnson and that was your abductor longus butterfly stretch. I'll see you next time.
