How to do crossover kneeling hip flexor stretch

Coach's Tips

Put one knee down and step forward with the opposite leg for the stretch.

Start Position

1. Engage your core muscles throughout the entire stretch.

2. Avoid excessive forward leaning to prevent injury.

3. If you experience pain, stop the stretch immediately.

Proper Form

1. Gradually shift your hips forward toward the knee in front.

2. Hold this position for 15-30 seconds, focusing on the stretch in your opposite hip flexor.

3. Gently return to the initial stance.

4. Switch sides and repeat.

Breathing Technique

1. Inhale deeply and slowly as you move forward.

2. Exhale slowly as you return to the starting stance.

Precautions

1. Begin by kneeling, positioning your left leg in front and bent, with your right leg bent at a right angle behind you.

2. Maintain an upright torso and keep your core engaged.

3. Place your hands on your hips.
