1.
  • Sit on the ground with your feet out in front of you
  • Bend both your knees and bring your feet in towards your groin
  • Sit up straight and gently push your knees toward the floor with your elbows
  • Hold for a count of 10
2.
  • Sit in a lunge position with both legs bent, your left foot on the floor and your right knee on the ground
  • Sit up straight making sure that your left leg is perpendicular to the floor, whilst you stretch through your right groin
  • Lean forward to increase the stretch on your right groin.
  • Hold for a slow count of 10
  • Repeat on opposite side
3.
  • Kneel on the floor
  • Lift your left leg and take it out to a position close to 3 o'clock on the clock's face
  • Make sure your left leg is straight and that your toes are pointing towards the ceiling
  • With your left leg outstretched attempt to drop your left knee towards the floor whilst leaning your torso towards 12 o'clock on the clock's face
  • Hold for a count of 10
  • Repeat on the opposite side
4.
  • Kneel on the floor
  • Lift your left leg and place it in front of you with your foot flat on the floor
  • Lean forward into a lunge position
  • Take your right arm and stretch it out over your head
  • As you are leaning forward maintain an upright torso
  • To deepen the stretch lean forward through the hips and to the left through the torso
  • Hold for a count of 10
  • Repeat on opposite side
5.
  • Kneel on the floor
  • Spread your legs as wide as they can go whilst still kneeling
  • Lean forward
  • Hold for a count of 10
  • If this causes pain in your knees, refrain from doing this stretch
6.
  • Using a box for added stability spread your legs laterally as far as is comfortable
  • Keep your toes pointing toward the ceiling and make sure that your legs are in line with your hips
  • If your legs are not in line with your hips, there is a risk of knee injury
  • As you maintain this position attempt to rotate your pelvis forward so that your buttock sticks further out
  • Again make sure that your knees remain in line with your hips
  • Hold for a count of 10
