Rocking frog stretch

A wide-knee rocking stretch, like child's pose with the knees apart, that opens the groin and inner thighs.

IntermediateMatLow impactSuggested: 30 sec

How to do it

  1. Start on your forearms and knees, then slide your knees out wide to the sides.
  2. Turn your toes and feet outward so the inner edges of your feet rest on the floor.
  3. Slowly rock your hips back toward your heels until you feel the stretch in your groin.
  4. Rock your hips forward over your knees to release, then rock back again.

Form tips

  • Move slowly and only widen your knees as far as feels comfortable.
  • Pad your knees with a folded mat or towel.
