The Eiffel Tower Stretch
We think it is pretty easy for you to get where this stretch has his name from ;) The Eiffel Tower Stretch helps you to increase the mobility in your groin and can prevent injuries in this area pretty effective.
How to do it?
Many of you might have done a similar stretch, but with leaning your torso to the floor. The position of the Eiffel Tower Stretch is closer to a floorball goalie's position and with the variety of pressure you bring to the floor you train your muscles as well. Make sure to keep your torso upwards for the best results.
- Kneel on the floor
- You can use a mat or your knee pads
- Place your knees as far away from each other as possible
- Make sure to keep your body upright all the time
- Hold this stretch for 15 seconds
- Now push your knees into the floor, like you were pulling them together with as much resistance from the floor as possible
- Hold this position for 15 seconds
- Now try to push your knees as far away from each other, again with as much resistance from the floor as possible
- Hold this position for 15 seconds
- Go back to the first basic stretch and hold it for 15 seconds
- Repeat 3 times
