The Butterfly Stretch Relaxes The Groin

Nobody wants to suffer a groin pull, especially not a runner who is training for a marathon, because these injuries can take a long time to heal. Consistent but gentle stretching may reduce your chances of injury, and a simple butterfly stretch is part of my pre-run routine.
  • Sit on the floor and place the soles of your feet together.
  • Keep your feet as close to your body as possible.
  • If your hips are tight, your knees will be high; if you have flexible hips, your knees may come close to the floor.
  • Hold your ankles and bend forward from the waist.
  • Place your elbow against your inner thighs and push down gently as you bend forward to help move your knees toward the floor.
  • Remember: Do NOT stretch to the point of pain.
