Summarize the following:
This position will stretch out your inner thighs.How to Do a Butterfly Stretch Begin by sitting on the floor with an upright, relaxed back. Your shoulders should be back, not rounded or hanging forward. Bend one leg at the knee and bring your foot toward your body. Repeat with the other leg. Don't force your legs farther than they will go comfortably. The soles of your feet should be facing each other. Gently press your knees toward the floor and lean forward over your feet. You should feel some stretching in your groin and lower back, but stop if you feel discomfort. Hold the stretch for three long, slow breaths, then return to sitting. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and your toes slightly facing outward. Your knees should be relaxed, not locked. Slowly slide your legs apart until you can't go down any lower. Do not stretch any further than your body naturally allows you. Hold this position for 30 seconds. (To help yourself stay balanced, lean over on your hands and use them to support part of your weight.) From the standing straddle, slowly bend your knees and lower your hips to the ground. You can support yourself with your hands. Once sitting, stretch your arms in front of you and lean forward as far as you can. Your hands should touch the ground if possible. Hold this stretch for 30 seconds. You will feel the stretch in your lower back and your inner thighs, but you should stop if you feel pain. Return to the sitting straddle position. Lean forward and stretch your arms toward your toes. If you can reach your toes, hold onto them. Hold this stretch for 30 seconds.
Sit in the butterfly stretch position. Return to a standing position and perform a standing straddle. Sit back on the ground while maintaining the straddle position. Reach your arms out to your sides.
