1. Do the Butterfly Stretch
Sit on the floor and straighten your legs. Place your feet flat on the floor and bend your knees so they are in front of your chest. Place your hands on your knees and lower your legs out toward the floor while placing the soles of your feet together. Grab your feet and lean forward until you feel the stretch in your inner thigh muscles. Hold the stretch for 20 seconds.
2. Stand and Squat
This inner thigh stretch requires a bit of balance and can be a bit awkward to do in public. Start in a standing position and then squat down, keeping your feet flat on the ground. Clasp your hands together and press your forearms into the insides of your knees. Keep pressing until you feel the tension in your inner thighs. Hold for a count of 8 and repeat up to three times.
3. Try a Standing Inner Thigh Stretch
The standing inner thigh stretch is a highly effective stretch, particularly for men who may find tightness in their groin area from lifting heavy weights. To begin this simple stretch, stand with your legs wider than shoulder width apart, with your feet flat on the ground. Shift your weight so one leg is bent and the other is extended straight. Keep your feet flat on the ground and continue to shift your weight until you feel a good stretch in your inner thigh. Hold the position for 20 seconds. Return to the starting position and repeat with the other leg.
4. Modify the Standing Inner Thigh Stretch
For this inner thigh stretch, you need a chair, weight bench, stepper or something you can comfortably lift your leg on. Stand with your feet together next to the object that you're going to be using; it should be directly at your side or slightly in front of you. Next, lift the leg that is closest to the bench and place it on the bench. Your supporting leg should be far enough away that you can maintain your balance and your knee isn't extended over your toes. Slightly bend your supporting knee so your hips will drop slightly. Hold this stretch for 20 seconds. Return to the starting position and then repeat with the other leg.
