Knee Across The Body

What it is

You perform this stretch while lying on your back, gently guiding one bent knee across your body. This static movement primarily targets your glutes. It also offers a soothing stretch for your hip abductors and lower back.

Technique tips

• Keep both shoulders flat on the floor throughout the stretch.
• Gently guide your knee across; do not force it to the floor.
• Turn your head in the opposite direction of the bent knee.
• Focus on deep, relaxed breathing to help release tension.
• Allow your tailbone to drop towards the floor to deepen the lower back stretch.

How to track your progress

Log the hold time of each set. Straddly keeps your best hold for this exercise and tells you when you beat it, so a two-second gain does not go unnoticed.
