Tight hips and inner thighs can throw off a runner's balance and make it more challenging for the knees to stabilize. This is a great move to help stretch the inner thighs.
- Come down to kneel on both knees. Place both hands in front of you, directly below your shoulders. If you have trouble with your lower back, you can place your hands on yoga blocks, a bench, or a small chair.
- Extend your right leg directly out to the side, and press the inner edge of your right foot into the ground. You should feel a nice stretch up your right inner thigh. Hold this stretch, and breathe for 30 to 60 seconds.
- If you'd like to deepen the stretch, you can slowly rock your weight forward and back.
- Repeat on your left leg.
