Lay down on your back. Legs bent. Lift your leg & let the knee fall out to the side so that you are able to place your ankle on top of the opposite knee. Hold the knee & ankle of the raised leg & lift both legs as a unit, bringing them towards your chest to create a stretch in the buttock. Keep your back on the floor. Repeat on the other side. Again take it to an easy stretch & allow the muscle to accept this position before moving into the development stage of the stretch. Your muscles contract when they feel they are in danger of becoming damaged. By moving slowly into the stretch you can overcome this reflex.
