Stretching your groin muscles is ultra important too and it can be done as soon as you finish with your hamstrings. Try this:

1. Lie in the same body position I’ve described for stretching your hamstrings.
2. Spread your legs as far apart as comfortable or until you feel your adductors (groin) muscles being stretched.
3. Relax and breathe.
4. Hold for 30-60 seconds.

Tip: bend your knees when releasing the stretch.

The greatest part about this stretch is that it’s….LAZY! Go give it a try.

It’s been way too long since I made a post here in my blog so I finally got around to taking some pictures to compliment this next stretching tip. Hamstring stretching is hard to do and often neglected but not for much longer. Use these simple steps to tackle those tight and short hamstrings. Try this:

1. Use a flat wall.
2. Lie flat on the floor with your hips flexed to 90 degrees. Beginners may have to start at 60-75 degrees.
3. Position your body so that your butt is as close to the wall as possible.
4. Keep your knees straight.
5. Relax and breathe.
6. Inhale through your nose, exhale out your mouth and c lose your eyes.
7. Hold for 30 – 60 seconds.

Its that easy and it’s LAZY! Give it a try.
