Rocking Frog Stretch · Preview

STEP 1

Setup

Start on your hands and knees with your knees wider than usual. Turn your toes slightly out and support your upper body on your hands or forearms.

STEP 2

Start phase

Slowly push your hips back toward your heels. Move until you feel the inner thighs stretch.

STEP 3

End phase

Drive your hips forward to return to the start. Rock slowly with your body weight, without momentum.

STEP 4

Target muscles

Feel the adductors and inner pelvis lengthen. A stronger pull moving back and slight release moving forward are normal.

STEP 5

Common mistakes

Widening the knees quickly or rocking with momentum can stress the knees and hips. Bring the knees closer and reduce the range if you feel pain.

STEP 6

Breathing

Exhale as you move back and inhale as you return. Rock with your breath to release inner-thigh tension.

STEP 7

Coach tip

Start with a small range, then gradually move farther back. Use it before or after lower-body training to reset hip range of motion.
