# Adductor Stretch Side Standing

Stand tall with your back straight and feet shoulder-width apart while keeping your hands together in front of your chest.

## How to do it

1. Stand tall with your back straight and feet shoulder-width apart while keeping your hands together in front of your chest.
2. Take a step to the left while keeping your right foot in place.
3. Bend the left knee unless your right thigh becomes parallel to the floor.
4. Hold for a few seconds, return to the initial position, and repeat.

## Form tips

- Keep your core engaged to maintain balance and stability throughout the stretch.
- Ensure your bent knee does not extend past your toes to avoid strain on your knee joint.
- Perform the stretch slowly and avoid any sudden movements to prevent strain.
