Technique – Start by sitting down on the floor in an area that will provide enough space to perform the exercise. Pull both legs upwards and place both feet together flat on the floor. Grip your ankles with both hands and use your elbows to push your thigh muscles downwards. Start this stretching technique when ready. Press your elbows downwards onto your thighs until you feel your inner thigh muscles stretch. Hold this position for a count of 5. Raise your elbows upwards to relieve pressure on the muscles. Repeat this technique until your thigh muscles are full stretched.
