Instructions
Adductor/Groin
Lie on your back with your feet raised towards the ceiling.
Have your partner hold your feet or ankles. Abduct your legs as far as you can. This will be your starting position.
Attempt to squeeze your legs together for 10 or more seconds, while your partner prevents you from doing so.
Now, relax the muscles in your legs as your partner pushes your feet apart, stretching as far as is comfortable for you. Be sure to let your partner know when the stretch is adequate to prevent overstretching or injury.
Groin and Back Stretch
Sit on the floor with your knees bent and feet together.
Interlock your fingers behind your head. This will be your starting position.
Curl downwards, bringing your elbows to the inside of your thighs. After a brief pause, return to the starting position with your head up and your back straight. Repeat for 10-20 repetitions.
Verdict
Both exercises target the adductors. Adductor/Groin is a intermediate exercise using none, while Groin and Back Stretch is intermediate and uses none.
