Groin Stretch - Exercise Warm UpThis is an easy stretch to do for warming up the groin area before any weight loss exercise. It can be done in front of the TV at home and will take less than a minute to complete. The groin is one area many people forget to warm up before exercising. It is important to warm up this area thoroughly before exercise as any injury to the groin can be fairly painful, and may cause you to stop training resulting in less calories burned.
How to do the Groin Stretch* Sit comfortably on a soft exercise mat or carpet. With your knees pointing outwards put the soles of your feet together and hold onto your toes. Rest your elbows around the shin area in line with the lower legs and make sure you feel stable. Gently pull yourself forward, bending from the hips until you feel a little stretch in the groin area. Do not bounce to stretch and try to keep the back straight at all times. Hold the stretch for 30 seconds. If you find it difficult or painful just to put your soles together then don't do this groin stretch!
* Remember it's much safer to under stretch than to overstretch. Always remain within the comfortable stretch zone. Never go to the point where you cannot possibly stretch any more as this could do more harm than good! If you feel any pain or discomfort at any stage of the stretch then stop the stretch immediately! Never force a stretch even if you are attempting to increase flexibility.
