All-Fours Quadriceps Stretch

How to perform it

Step-by-step instructions

1. 01Start on hands and knees with the hands beneath the shoulders and the knees beneath the hips.
2. 02Bend one knee, lift that foot, and reach back with the same-side hand to hold the foot or ankle; use a strap if needed.
3. 03Gently draw the heel toward the glute while keeping the thighs approximately parallel.
4. 04Brace the abdomen and keep the pelvis level so the lower back does not arch or the trunk rotate.
5. 05Hold while breathing steadily, release the foot slowly, and repeat on the other side.
