Lower Body Stretches: Groin Stretches

Video Transcript

"Okay, one of probably the most overlooked areas is the groin and this is where a lot of injuries will take place. So, what we're going to do is we're going to drop Steve down into a groin stretch. And basically he's putting his weight down on his groin and this is a little bit more of an advanced stretch, but what he's doing is he's taking his arms and he's pushing out as well and he's really getting; making sure that this inner leg and the groin and the abductor muscles are really going to get warmed up and really stretched out. Again one, two, three, one. One, two, three, two. One, two, three, three. It's a great way to stretch and then what you'll do is once he gets to ten, he'll go ahead a break. Go ahead and stand up and we'll go ahead and drop him down on the ground and what he's going to do is the butterfly stretch. And he's going to pull his feet in and again, he's going to push down with the legs. And he's going to really make sure that he's warmed up and that he's stretched in the area because once those; once the abductors and the groin muscles become agitated, it takes a long time to recover from and you're not going to perform the same; not for quite some time. So, you really want to make sure. One, two, three, one. One, two, three, two. One, two, three, three. And again go on to ten. It's not an actual ten seconds. It's a little bit longer, but again there's no race to a good stretching and warming up."
