Here’s a quick drill I love doing for groin mobility- no flexibility or yoga experience required.
You can do this without any warm-up at any time, whether you’re at home, the office, or the gym. It helps to immediately relieve stiffness in your knees and lower-back caused by hip tightness, and over time can help to prevent that pain from occurring in the first place; not to mention increase the mobility of your hips for more effective lower-body exercise, and better results from your workouts!
Start in a wide-legged stance with your toes slightly turned in, and knees BENT. Focus on keeping your back as flat as possible – it helps to use a mirror or record yourself. Spend at least 2 minutes on this, and up to 5.
Make sure you’re doing these stretches ACTIVELY, that is, not being passive. Focus on active muscle engagement and building strength in end range of motion, and your results will be much more significant – increase your flexibility in less time, gain more functional strength, and you won’t need as much warm-up.
Yes, you can do this exercise every day. A good time to do it would be in the morning before work, in the afternoon to help you recharge, or in the evening to help you undo the stress of sitting in a chair for extended periods of time.
