| Hip Flexor Stretch (Leg Stretch) |
One of the major benefits of Stretching is that it increases your flexibility. While Stretching may appear a bit bland as compared with resistance exercises such as Training with Free Weights and Weight Training Exercises, without a good stretch, you will not be able to minimize the risk of injury.
The gluteus maximus or glutes form your buttocks. These muscles are mainly used to extend the leg into a straight line with the torso and to rotate leg at the hip. Common exercises which strengthen the glutes are Squats and most stability ball movements. Lunges and step-ups also target these muscles. |

STEP 1: Kneel on both knees. |
|
STEP 2: Step forward with your right foot while keeping your left knee on the floor. Put your hands on top of your right thigh.
|
|
STEP 3: Slide your back leg behind you until you feel the stretch in the front of the hip. To intensify the stretch, push your hip forward, straighten your body, and put your hands on your front knee. Hold for 10-12 seconds and then change sides. |

It would be relaxing if we get into a really good Stretching session to release all of the accumulated tension our bodies take each day. For a great full, upper, or lower body Stretching Sequence, go to Fitness Exercises: Stretching Sequences. |
