Step by step

How to do the Lying Bent Leg Groin

  1. 1

    Lie on your back with your knees bent and the soles of the feet pressed together. Have your partner hold your knees. This will be your starting position.

  2. 2

    Attempt to squeeze your knees together, while your partner prevents any movement from occurring.

  3. 3

    After 10-20 seconds, relax your muscles as your partner gently pushes your knees towards the floor. Be sure to inform your helper when the stretch is adequate to prevent injury or overstretching.
