Stretch and Surrender: #40 Seated Gluteus Stretch

Benefits: Stretches the gluteal muscles.

METHOD: Sit comfortably in a straight backed chair. Bend your left knee so that your foot rests on the seat of the chair. Using your hands, pull your ankle back toward your buttocks. Hold for 15-30 seconds. Release and repeat with the other leg. Alternate 3 to 5 times on each side.

Tip: This stretch is beneficial to all of us. A good way to relieve tension after sitting for long periods of time, this is a convenient stretch to do at your desk or while watching TV.
