Buttock StretchThis stretch loosens the buttocks, lower back muscles and hamstrings. It can be completed within a minute so fairly good to do if you're in a hurry. Do not strain during this stretch, and don't hold your breath. Try to relax all leg and back muscles and this stretch will feel easier. Warm ups and stretching should be completed before attempting any exercise to lose weight or gain fitness. Take the time to warm up thoroughly and you should have a more effective workout.
How to do the Buttock Lower Back Stretch* Using a soft mat or carpet lie down on your back and gently pull your left leg towards your chest. Keep the right leg straight. Grasp your hands together and hold the knee in this position for 20 - 30 seconds. Repeat for the right leg.
* Remember it's much safer to under stretch than to overstretch. Always remain within the comfortable stretch zone. Never go to the point where you cannot possibly stretch any more as this could do more harm than good! If you feel any pain or discomfort at any stage during the stretch then stop the stretch immediately! Never force a stretch even if you are attempting to increase flexibility.
