Side-lying quadricep stretch 유

The sidelying quad stretch is a great way to get a good stretch to your quads. Being on the floor in a supported position can help you focus in on the stretch in your quads. Here is how you do the sidelying quad stretch:

  1. Lie on your side.

  2. Bend the knee of your top leg as far as you are able.

  3. Maintain position for 30 seconds.

  4. Return to starting position.

  5. Repeat exercise 3 to 5 more times with each leg.

Stretching

Butterfly hip groin stretch 유

The butterfly stretch exercise stretches your inner thighs, groin, hips, and lower back. If you are prone to lower-back discomfort, take extra care to lean forward from your hips rather than rounding your lower back. This exercise may also cause some knee discomfort.

Hold the lifted straightness of the back leg and rotate your pubic bone toward the wall. If possible, hold that position and extend your arms upwards, lengthening upwards also through the side chest and the crown of your head.

Hold for five breaths and repeat for the other side.
