try to keep both hips and shoulder on the floor to get the most from this stretch. If you are struggling to hold the leg in this position you can use your right hand to help hold your leg in this position so that you do not stretch to far. You should be able to feel a stretch in your inner thigh. This time gradually move your foot away from the centre of your body towards the floor on your right hand side. The start position for this stretch is the same as the previous one with the band round the arch of the foot with a straight leg. You want to try and do this around 5 times on each side. Hold this position for 20 to 30 seconds then release and repeat on the other side.

Gently pull your right leg towards you until you can feel the stretch in the back of the leg. Keep your left leg bent with the sole of your left foot touching the floor. Straighten your right leg as much as you keep feed put the band a little if you need to but keep as much tension as you can. Take hold of the band as close as you can to your foot and pull to add a little tension.

Start by lying on your back on the floor and loop the band around the arch of your right foot. Ideally you would want to use the band with the highest resistance that you have for these exercises (black or blue.) If you do not have any resistance bands you can use a towel instead to achieve the same goals. I wanted to try and incorporate some stretch work with these to show they are not just used for strength building. Over the last 10 to 12 weeks resistance bands have become more and more popular as alternatives whilst the gyms have been closed. These will be very good after sitting behind a desk for a long period or for those marathon Netflix sessions. Today I wanted to use some equipment to help you stretch out those tight muscles.
