IT Band Stretch
- Cross your left leg behind you, putting weight on the outside of your left foot. Reach your left arm toward the sky.
- Press your left hip out to the side to increase the stretch of your left IT band. Hold for 30 seconds, then switch sides.
The IT band runs down the outside of your leg, and when it gets tight, it can mess with your knee joint. Keep it loose with this stretch after every run.
