8IT Band Stretch
The IT band stretch is a suitable exercise for beginners. It focuses on a thick tissue called the iliotibial band. This part begins in the pelvic area and runs down along the leg to the tibia. You can add this exercise to your workout session to improve hip strength and relieve discomfort caused by trochanteric bursitis. Start with lying down on the back with both knees bent and feet flat on the ground. Take the left leg and rest the ankle on top of your right knee. You should create a shape like the number “4”. Lift up the right leg to the body and bring both legs while grabbing under the leg around the hamstring area. Do it 3 to 5 times. [8]
