Unlock Groin Pain Freedom with These 2 Simple Exercises!
Side lunges: Stand with feet hip-width apart. Step out to the side with one leg, lowering your hips until your front knee is bent at a 90-degree angle and your back knee nearly touches the ground. Push back up to starting position and repeat on the other side. This works the inner and outer thigh muscles.
Clamshell: Lie on your side with knees bent and stacked on top of each other. Keeping your feet together, lift your top knee as high as you comfortably can while keeping your hips stacked. Lower back down slowly. Repeat for reps and then switch sides.
Groin Flexibility:
Butterfly Stretch: Sit on the floor with the soles of your feet together and knees bent out to the sides. Gently press your knees down towards the ground while keeping your back straight. Hold for a stretch in your inner thighs.
Frog Pose: Similar to the butterfly stretch, but with your knees bent out to the sides further than 90 degrees. Rest your forehead on the floor and hold for a deep groin stretch.
Kneeling Hip Flexor Stretch: Kneel on one leg with the other leg extended in front of you. Lean forward from your hips, keeping your back straight, until you feel a stretch in the front of your hip and groin. Hold for a stretch and then switch sides.
Important Notes:
Always warm up before any workout with some light cardio and dynamic stretches.
Listen to your body and avoid any exercise that causes pain.
If you have any pre-existing injuries or conditions, consult a doctor or physical therapist before starting a new exercise routine.
These are just a few examples, and you can find many variations online or in fitness apps. You can adjust the difficulty of the exercises based on your fitness level. Remember to maintain proper form throughout the exercises to avoid injury.
