Sideways Reach
Outside of the Body Stretches
•
2m 16s
You have probably done the classic version of this stretch, but with resistance it becomes much more effective. Try not to twist forwards or backwards which often occurs as the body tries to avoid tight areas.
Never push through pain and do not stretch if injured. If pregnant or physically impaired, get the OK from your doctor before stretching.

Cat Stretch Side to Side
Try not to turn your head, but keep looking down so that your ear is moving closer to your hips rather than your chin.

Abductor Bent Leg Stretch
As your bent leg continuously pushes backwards into your standing leg, lean forward smoothly. It is best to lean on a chair, desk or wall for stability.

Sitting Glute Stretch with Strap
A slightly more demanding stretch, place the loop around the foot and swing it out as far as you can, then pull your foot in towards the opposite shoulder smoothly with the strap, keeping your knee in the same position.
