Standing Quad Stretch
|
 |
How to Perform this E-cise
- Stand on one foot and bend the other leg back and place the top of the foot on the back of a chair or a block.
- The height of the foot dictates the amount of stretch in the quadriceps muscles(thighs).
- Keep your hips and shoulders square to the wall.
- Look down and be sure that your knees remain right beside of each other.
- The key is to make sure that the down leg/hip is not jetting out to the side.
- You must keep your hips level.
- Try to tilt your butt under(suck and tuck).
- Hold. If needed, hold onto something for balance.
