Stretch and Surrender: #42 Groin Stretch

Benefits: Stretches the groin and inner-thigh muscles, improves flexibility in the hips, and keeps knee joints supple.

METHOD: Sit on the floor with your back straight. With your hands on your ankles, bring the soles of your feet together. Put your hands on your knees and gently press down. Don't overstretch the groin muscles. Hold for 30 seconds. Repeat twice.

Tip: This is a great stretch for runners, dancers, and anyone doing exercises that involve the lower extremities.
