Exercise Description:
The frog pose is a yoga pose that involves a deep stretch in the hips and groin. To do the frog pose, start by getting down on your hands and knees, with your wrists under your shoulders and your knees under your hips.
Next, widen your knees out to the sides as far as is comfortable, while keeping your feet close together. Your feet should be flexed, with your toes pointing back toward your body.
Slowly lower your buttocks down toward the ground, feeling a stretch in your hips and groin. You can also try leaning forward slightly and pressing your chest toward your thighs to stretch the muscles in your lower back as well.
Hold the pose for 30 seconds to a minute, and then release and repeat a few times. To deepen the stretch, try slowly rocking back and forth or side to side. You can also try gently pressing your thighs outward with your elbows.
The frog pose is a great way to improve flexibility and reduce tension in the hips and groin. It can also help to alleviate lower back pain and improve posture. It's a good idea to incorporate the frog pose into your regular stretching routine to maintain flexibility and prevent muscle tightness.
