Kneeling Hip Flexor

What it is

This static stretch targets the hip flexors and quadriceps, promoting improved flexibility in your hips and thighs. You will gently extend the front of one hip and thigh. This movement enhances lower body mobility and contributes to overall hip health. No equipment is needed.

Technique tips

• Kneel on a soft surface for comfort.
• Ensure your front foot is flat on the floor.
• Gently shift your weight forward until you feel a mild stretch.
• Keep your torso upright and core engaged.
• Breathe deeply and consistently throughout the hold.
• Avoid arching your lower back as you 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.
