Sit on the floor with your back straight. Bring the soles of your feet together, hold them with your hands and gently bend down while keeping your back straight. You will notice your groin muscles tighten up. Make sure to do it in a "no pain" mode because we're not Simone Biles or Jean-Claude Van Damme to just spread our legs as if it were a walk in the park. The adductors help the hip flexion and extension and they are not the most important muscles in cycling. That is exactly why they tend to shorten and can cause mild but very uncomfortable aches and pain. It is important to stretch the adductors to keep them flexible and avoid problems.
