Quadriceps lying stretch

Expert Advice

Keep your hips pressed to the floor to prevent arching your back and to ensure a deep stretch in the quadriceps.

How-to-do Steps

  1. Lie face down on the floor or a mat.
  2. Bend one knee and reach back to grab your ankle with the same side hand.
  3. Gently pull your heel towards your glutes until you feel a stretch in the front of your thigh.
  4. Hold for 20-30 seconds, then release and switch legs.
