Overview

Dynamic stretching uses active movement. Do it before your workout to raise your heart rate and prepare your muscles. Move with control, pause, then repeat. Each round should take you a little farther and help expand your range of motion.

How to do it

  1. 1

    The adductor group sits on the inner thigh and includes the pectineus, adductor brevis, adductor longus, adductor magnus and gracilis. To keep these muscles loose and mobile, add dynamic stretches to your warm-up and static stretches to your cooldown routine. Regular adductor stretching can boost flexibility and performance while helping reduce injury and stiffness.
