“Success is no accident. It is hard work, perseverance, learning, studying, sacrifice and most of all, love of what you are doing or learning to do.”- Pele
Since then the world realized “You’re only cool if you stretch your groin”.
In all seriousness regular stretching and foam rolling your groin has a myriad of benefits from helping relieve knee and lower back pain to improving the bottom of your squat, and giving you a stronger set up position in the Olympic lifts. I like the KISS method for mobility so you won’t find any bands or fancy contraptions in our stretching series below. Good ole fashion gravity will be doing the work in these stretches, and the whole routine should take no longer than 10 minutes. Lastly it’s important to remember not to be over aggressive when stretching, if a stretch gives you excessive pain or any numbness discontinue immediately.
Groin on the Wall Stretch
Lay flat on your back with your butt all the way against the wall
Let your legs fall to side and spread as far apart as possible
Relax your feet do not pull your toes back or flex your calves
Take long deep breaths through your belly, gently increase the stretch as you exhale
Frog Stretch
On your forearms and knees, face down on the floor point your feet out, and let your your knees spread wide
Using your forearms to gently push your hips back and keep your chest as close to the floor as possible
Take long deep breaths through your belly, gently increase the stretch as you exhale
Lizard Stretch
This stretch will also incorporate the hip capsule and hip flexors
Kneeling on one knee, lower your hand or forearm to the ground
Try to keep your torso as close to the “up” leg as possible
Take long deep breaths through your belly, gently increase the stretch as you exhale
Standing Groin Stretch
Standing up prop a straight leg up on a box or elevated surface so your foot is above your waist
Increase the stretch by slowly squatting with leg you are standing on
Take long deep breaths through your belly, gently increase the stretch as you exhale
Those are the stretches now here’s the routine.

This is a great series of stretches to do on a daily basis at night or in the morning if you have “tight” hips or are experiencing some knee ache while squatting. Its also great to do before class especially on days that include lunge, squatting, or Olympic lifts. Enjoy!
