The IT band is fascia that runs on the outside of the thigh, and it when gets tight it can make your knees cranky. Keep your ITB loose with this stretch.
- Bend in half at the waist and hang over, crossing your right foot behind your left and pressing your right big toe into the floor.
- Twist your upper body to the right, reaching your right arm to the ceiling. You should feel a gentle pull on the outside of your right leg. Hold the stretch for 20 to 30 seconds.
- Uncross your legs and switch legs to stretch the other side.
