Side Lying Groin Stretch

What it is

This movement is a static stretch designed to lengthen your inner thigh muscles, primarily targeting your adductors. You will perform it while lying on your side, gently pulling your top leg toward your shoulder. It also offers a beneficial stretch for your hamstrings.

Technique tips

• Bend your bottom knee for torso stability.
• Support your head comfortably throughout the stretch.
• Grab your knee for an easier stretch, or your foot for harder.
• Gently pull your knee toward your shoulder.
• Press your lifted leg subtly down toward the floor.
• Straighten your top leg to intensify the 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.
