Açıklama
Frog Pose is an effective movement/posture frequently used in yoga and mobility training, specifically improving hip opening and inner thigh (adductor) flexibility. It is performed in a frog-like position with knees and elbows on the floor, placing the hip joint under a deep stretch. When practiced regularly, it significantly increases the range of motion of the hip joint, relieves lower back tension, and promotes better form in exercises like squats. It also improves circulation in the pelvic region and helps alleviate back pain. It can be done during both warm-up and cool-down phases. It is highly beneficial for relieving hip flexor tightness in people who work at a desk.
