The Groin Crunch is a targeted exercise that strengthens the muscles in your inner thighs and groin area. This exercise is a great way to improve flexibility and stability in the lower body.
How to perform
To perform the Groin Crunch, follow these step-by-step instructions:1. Start by sitting on the floor with your legs extended out in front of you.
2. Slowly bend your knees and bring the soles of your feet together, allowing your knees to fall out to the sides.
3. Place your hands on your shins or ankles for support.
4. Engage your core muscles and slowly lean back slightly, keeping your back straight.
5. Inhale as you gently press your knees down towards the floor, feeling a stretch in your inner thighs.
6. Exhale as you slowly lift your knees back up towards the ceiling, engaging the inner thigh muscles to perform a “crunch” movement.
7. Repeat this movement for 10-15 reps, focusing on controlled and smooth movements.
8. Remember to breathe steadily throughout the exercise and listen to your body’s limits to avoid overstretching or straining your muscles.
Performing the Groin Crunch regularly can help improve your lower body strength and flexibility, ultimately leading to better stability and balance in your everyday activities.
