Stretching groin muscles to Warm Up or Cool Down

It is important to stretch your groin muscles during warm up. This helps to avoid injury due to over-stretching during training.

When stretching groin muscles

• stand straight with your legs apart and both feet pointing forward.
• place your hands on your sides, and lean to one side, transferring your weight to that leg.
• keep your back straight. Look up and forward, and this will straighten your back.
• as you lean on the leading leg, you will feel your muscles stretch on the inside of your trailing leg.
• do not bounce, but apply steady pressure and stretching.
• repeat the process to the oppisite side, stretching the muscles in your other leg.

The technique can be repeated , keeping the supporting foot at right angles to the trailing foot.
