The Rocking Frog Stretch is a dynamic stretching exercise that targets the hip flexors, quadriceps, and groin muscles.
How to perform
To perform the Rocking Frog Stretch, follow these steps:1. Begin by getting into a kneeling position on the floor, with your knees spread apart slightly wider than hip-width and your toes pointing outward.
2. Place your hands on the floor in front of you for support.
3. Slowly lower your hips towards the floor, keeping your back straight and your chest lifted.
4. Shift your weight forward onto your hands as you rock back and forth in a slow and controlled motion.
5. Feel the stretch in your hip flexors, quadriceps, and groin as you rock back and forth.
6. Repeat this rocking motion for 10-15 repetitions, focusing on your breathing and allowing your muscles to relax and release tension.
7. After completing the desired number of repetitions, slowly come back to a kneeling position and rest for a few moments before moving on to the next exercise.
It is important to listen to your body and only move within a comfortable range of motion to avoid any strain or injury. This exercise can be performed as part of a dynamic warm-up before a workout or as a standalone stretching routine to improve flexibility in the hips and thighs.
Equipment required
Body Weight
Body weight equipment includes items like resistance bands, stability balls, and suspension trainers. These tools are used for a wide range of exercises that focus on strength training, flexibility, balance, and stability. They are commonly used in bodyweight exercises that utilize the resistance of one's own body to build muscle and improve overall fitness.
