The Straddle

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

Tips: There are many variations on straddles. Whichever one you choose, begin in a seated, upright position, balancing on your sit bones. (If you can't balance in a seated position without rounding your back, you're not ready for this stretch.) Start by extending your legs in front of you in a V. To make this easier, bend both knees so that both feet touch the floor. To make it harder, straighten both legs. whichever position you choose, keep your back straight with your hands on the floor in front of you as you incline your torso forwardâ€”and keep your neck long and in line with your spine.
