IT Band and Glute Stretch

Other Abductors

The IT Band and Glute Stretch is a stretching movement that targets your abductors. Here's how to do it with clean form.

How to do the IT Band and Glute Stretch

  1. Sit on the floor with one leg extended and cross the opposite foot over the outside of that knee.
  2. Sit tall and draw the bent knee toward your opposite shoulder.
  3. Hold the stretch and breathe; feel the pull along the outer hip and glute.
  4. Keep your back straight—don't round forward to force more range.
