This page covers how to perform the ankle on the knee, including tips, variations, and the muscle groups it targets.
This stretch helps release tightness in the glutes and hips, especially useful after squatting or running. It can be performed on the floor or in a seated position.
Instructions
- Lie on your back with both knees bent and feet flat.
- Cross one ankle over the opposite knee, forming a figure-four shape.
- Reach through your legs and gently pull the uncrossed thigh toward your chest.
- Hold for 15–30 seconds, then switch sides.
