After a grueling leg day workout [1], a big run, or a cycling class, your inner thighs could use some love. Grab a wall and try this intense stretch.
- Sit down in front of a wall and spread your legs out wide in a Seated Straddle [3].
- Using your hands behind you, scoot your pelvis toward the wall so your feet are touching the wall. Inch as close as you can, with the inside arches of the feet pressing against the wall. The closer you get tot he wall, the more intense the stretch.
- Keep the legs straight, and rest your hands on your thighs.
- Hold for five breaths. Then if you can, inch a little closer, holding for another five.
