Lying Bent Leg Groin

What it is

This exercise is a specialized partner-assisted stretch for your inner thighs. You will engage your adductor muscles in an isometric contraction, pressing your bent knees together against resistance. This technique helps improve flexibility and range of motion through a controlled, static hold.

Technique tips

• Communicate clearly with your partner to avoid overstretching.
• Press your knees together firmly during the isometric hold.
• Breathe steadily through the contraction and as you relax into the stretch.
• Guide your partner to apply slow, gentle pressure when stretching.
• Never push into pain; the stretch should feel deep but comfortable.
• Gradually increase the hold duration to deepen the stretch over time.

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.
