Figure Four Glute Stretch
A step-by-step guide from the Ægir Iron exercise library: how to do the movement and what to watch for.
- Equipment
- Bodyweight
HOW TO PERFORM
- Lie on your back with both knees bent, and cross one ankle over the opposite thigh just above the knee.
- Reach through the gap between the legs and hold behind the supporting thigh.
- Pull that thigh toward your chest until the crossed-side glute stretches, keeping the crossed knee pressed open.
- Hold and breathe, then switch sides.
FORM TIPS
- It works seated in a chair too: cross the ankle over the knee and hinge the chest forward.
