Lying Crossover Stretch

How To Do A Lying Crossover Stretch Correctly

The Lying Crossover Stretch is a great way to open up your hips and stretch your piriformis muscle in your glutes.

To get started:

1. Lie down on your back, bend your knees and plant your feet into the ground, with your arms down by your sides and palms facing the floor.
2. Bring one knee up to your chest and grab the outside of your knee with the opposite hand.
3. Pull your knee towards your opposite shoulder while keeping your head, back, and shoulders flat against the floor.
4. Hold for approximately 20 seconds, then lower your foot back to the ground.
5. Repeat the same movement with the opposite leg.
