The Assisted Lying Glutes Stretch is a stretching exercise that targets the glute muscles in the buttocks. This stretch can help improve flexibility and range of motion in the hips and lower back.
How to perform
To perform the Assisted Lying Glutes Stretch, follow these step by step instructions:1. Lie on your back on a comfortable surface, such as a yoga mat or padded floor.
2. Bend your knees and place your feet flat on the floor, hip-width apart.
3. Lift your right leg and cross it over your left thigh, resting your right ankle on top of your left knee.
4. Reach your hands through the space created by your legs and gently pull your left thigh towards your chest. You should feel a stretch in your right glute.
5. Hold the stretch for 15-30 seconds, breathing deeply and focusing on relaxing your muscles.
6. Release the stretch and switch sides, crossing your left leg over your right thigh and repeating the stretch on the left glute.
7. Repeat the stretch on each leg 2-3 times, gradually increasing the duration of the stretch as you feel more comfortable and flexible.
8. Remember to listen to your body and not push yourself too far in the stretch. If you feel any pain, stop immediately and consult with a healthcare professional.
