Description
Here is a little sequence to stretch the hamstrings, Quads, Adductors and Abductors. Letβs briefly explore one by one..
π― Quads / Hip Flexors: starting with the anterior chain (front of the body) β the deep lunge is by far one of the best stretches for the Hip Flexors. Keep a light PPT to make this stretch more effective, and really engaged the glute of the back leg to get deeper into the position.
π― Hamstrings / Calves: following with a posterior chain focus (back of the body) β the half split or runner stretch is great to open up the hamstrings, and back side of the spine. Flex the front foot to involve the calve as well.
π― Inner Hips: better known as our leg adductors which tend to be very tight for most people. Tailor pose or butterfly stretch is a great hip opener. If middle splits is in your list, this one is a most. Sit up tall and reach forward rather than down. Think belly to feet, rather than head to feet.
π― Outer Hips: moving on to the abductors now, we have βCow Face Poseβ (Yoga pose) which is a very gentle outer hip opener. Just sitting with that leg position might be enough to feel the stretch (mostly on the top leg). Lean slightly forward to add more intensity.
ππ½ Stretch towards mild discomfort. Never through pain.
ππ½ Hold each position for 30-90sec and perform the whole sequence 2-3x.
ππ½ You could also work on more active variations of the positions, PNF, Ballistic, and Dynamic stretching.
