Hip Flexor Lunge muscle stretch

Hip Flexor Lunge muscle stretch
This video demonstrates and effective stretch for your Iliopsoas and rectus femoris muscles, otherwise known as the 'hip flexors.' Position yourself, starting on both knees and using a wall for support. In the video we stretch the right hip flexors. Bring the left knee up, into a lunge position, keeping the right knee planted firmly against the floor. Gently lunge forward to lengthen and engage the muscles of the right hip. You should now feel a light to moderate stretch in the front of the leg and it may travel into the pelvis, and you may feel it deep into the abdomen. Hold this position for a minimum of 30 seconds, to a maximum of 90 seconds, to effectively stretch and lengthen the right hip flexors. Slowly come out of this position when finished, and stretch to the other side. Original article and pictures take http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vwToKziL5A4 site
