Slide 7 of 11

Inner Thighs

If you sit with your legs crossed all the time, you make your inner thigh muscles steely. Too much of that can cause tension and pain in your knees.

The Test
Sit on floor with knees bent, legs together and feet flat. Lower knees out to sides as far as possible while keeping soles together. Clasp feet with both hands and pull heels as close to body as possible.

Good (3 points): Heels are 4 inches from your groin.
Fair (2 points): Heels are 5 to 8 inches from your groin.
Poor (1 point): Heels are 9 or more inches from your groin.

Next: Calves

What score do I give myself for slide #7, Inner Thighs, if there is no space between my groin and feet, and my knees touch the ground? For some reason, this stretch has always been an easy one for me. I wish they were all that way...
