Knee Lunge
Forward knee lunge

The forward knee lunge stretches the groin.

Catherine Holecko

This leg stretch actually works the muscles in the groin. Start by kneeling on a mat or soft surface. Keeping back straight, place left foot on ground and gently press forward until knee is bent at a 90-degree angle (the knee is directly over the ankle). Place hands or elbows on left knee to stabilize and hold for 10 to 30 seconds.

Switch legs and repeat.
