Take your time with these stretches and don't stretch too hard. You don't want to pull anything or add any additional stress to the body. Enjoy this.

- While standing, keep both heals together, knees slightly bent.
- Bend forward at the waist and attempt to reach your toes.

Standing hamstring stretch

- Similar to a standing hamstring stretch, pull deeper placing the hands behind the ankles, and bending at the waist as far as possible.

Standing full bend

- Keep your core tight, back straight, feet at shoulder-width.
- Push hips back and lower down until knees are 90 degrees
- Hold position

Squat hold

- Staring from a kneeling position, place both palms at the raised knee, then lean forward keeping the back straight and core tight.

Child’s pose

- While seated, bring the bottoms of both feet together in front of you.
- Pull the feet close in towards the body for stretch.

Seated groin stretch

- Keep back straight, core tight, and carefully stretch the night by pulling from the other side with your hand.
