Standing Quad Stretch

Stretch Data
Main Muscle Worked: Quadriceps
Other Muscles Worked: None
Equipment: Other

Video Guide: Windows Media - MPEG

Tips: Face a wall or a fence and put both hands on the surface in front of you. Extend one leg straight behind you. Bend the other leg so that the knee doesn’t extend over the toes. Incline your torso forward, keeping the extended heel down. Ideally, you should try to maintain a straight, diagonal line from the heel to the top of your head. To add a soleus and Achilles tendon stretch, bend your back knee but to keep the heel on the ground. Be gentle with it. Never force a tendon stretch. Switch sides.
