How to Perform

  1. 1

    Lie on your back with both knees bent.

  2. 2

    Cross your right ankle over your left knee in a figure-4 position.

  3. 3

    Your partner kneels in front and places their hands on the back of your left thigh and your right knee.

  4. 4

    The partner gently pushes your left thigh toward your chest, deepening the glute stretch. Hold 15-30 seconds.

  5. 5

    Contract phase: Push your right knee against the partner's hand (away from your chest) at about 20-30% effort for 10-20 seconds. The partner resists so there is no movement.

  6. 6

    Relax completely. The partner gently pushes deeper into the stretch. Hold 15-30 seconds.

  7. 7

    Repeat the contract-relax cycle 2-3 times, then switch sides.
