19 Groin-Saving Stretches That Will Help You Bounce Back from Injury

11. Crossover Grapevine Stretch

A crossover grapevine stretch is a good way to warm up. The stretch works multiple parts of the body including the core, glutes, calves, hamstrings, and quads. If you extend the stretch, you can use it as an aerobic exercise. Start by standing with your legs apart. Step from side-to-side and cross one leg over the other. Step out by stretching your right foot to the right side of your body. Cross your left foot over the right leg in front of your body. Then cross the right leg behind the left one, so your legs are uncrossed and the right leg is leading again. Bring the left leg together with the right one so you're standing normally. Then repeat the steps in reverse, bringing yourself back to your starting position. You can switch up which leg crosses in front.
