Quad Stretch

Setup

Stand with your feet slightly wider than shoulder width with arms at your sides.

Movement Instructions

Bend one knee and raise the foot in behind, grabbing the top of it with the opposite hand and pulling it up and towards the glute. Keep a slight bend in the standing leg, with the back straight and head facing forwards and pull the foot as close to the body as possible. Hold, then switch legs and repeat.

Comments

Make sure to bring the foot straight back or slightly across the body and not out to the side.
