How to Do the 90/90 Stretch
The 90/90 stretch can be done in a number of steps. You might want to do a little warm up before this exercise. The steps, starting from your right leg, include:
- Sit on the floor with your right leg extended in front of you. Place the lateral part of your right thigh against the floor. This places your hip in an external rotation.
- Flex your right knee at an angle of about 90 degrees and place the lateral part of your knee and calf against the floor. Leave your foot the way it is and ensure that your toes are point at a direction away from your body.
After doing the above steps on your right leg, you can now move to your left Ieg and perform the following:
- Extend your left leg directly in front of you and place the medial part of your thigh against the floor. This places your hip in an internal rotation.
- Flex your left knee at an angle of 90 degrees and place the medial part of your knee and calf against the floor. In this position, your lower leg is placed pointing away from your buttocks.
- After doing the above steps, you have to focus on your torso. You have to ensure that you are sitting straight and your body is not bending towards one side. Straighten up your shoulders and take deep breaths. Remain in this position for about 2 minutes.
After completing these steps, do it again, changing the positions of your right and left legs.
