Squated adductores stretch

Caroline Nilsson is your personal trainer showing you how to do Squated adductores stretch.

Technique

Start in standing position with legs wide apart, aligning knees and feet 45 degrees outward and sit back just as you do when you squat. Lean forward upper body with your back straight and place elbows on your thighs, pressing them lightly out with forearms to intense the stretch.

Tips

Imagine that you are going to lift up little toes slightly to avoid a stretch of your ankles outside. Those muscles have a stabilizing function and should not be stretched as it can lead to stretched ligaments and an increased risk of sprained foot.

Alternatives

Put your hands on your thighs and stretch with arms straight.
