Inner Thigh Stretch
Lower Body Stretches Series
This fitness video shows how to do an inner thigh stretch.
The adductors are the inner thigh and groin muscles.
Keeping this area stretch can help minimize injuries from every day
activities.
As with the outer thighs, the inner thighs run the length of the knee
up to the hip area on the inside of the legs.
If you are planning an aerobic workout, which generally requires
movement of the legs, then be sure to do a quick warm up and stretch
first.
This will help prepare your muscles for a great workout.
