Sitting Foot To Chest Buttocks Stretch

Begin seated with your back straight and feet flat on the floor. Slowly lift one foot off the ground and bring your knee towards your chest.

Hold your knee with both hands, gently pulling it closer to your chest while keeping your back straight. Hold the stretch for 15-30 seconds.

Switch legs and repeat the stretch on the other side.

How to perform the Sitting Foot To Chest Buttocks Stretch

  1. Set up. Set up in a stable, balanced starting position appropriate for the Sitting Foot To Chest Buttocks Stretch using your body weight.

  3. Reset. Reverse the movement under control and reset between repetitions, keeping your form crisp on every rep.

Coaching cues

  • Move with intent — every rep should feel deliberate, not rushed.
  • Drive force through your glutes rather than momentum.
  • Keep your breathing steady: exhale on the hard part, inhale on the reset.

Common mistakes

  • Using too much weight and losing positional control.
  • Cutting the range of motion short and missing the target muscle.
  • Letting your spine round or hyperextend instead of staying neutral.
