Tight quads? This classic stretch can help improve flexibility, ease muscle tension, and support healthy knees and hips. Add this easy stretch to your post workout routine!

How-To :

  1. Setup: Stand with feet shoulder-width apart, grab your ankle with the same side hand, and pull your heel towards your buttocks. Keep your knees close together and your back straight.
  2. Hold: You should feel a stretch in the front of your thigh. Hold for 15-30 seconds and repeat 2-4 times on each leg.

*Stop if you feel pain or pulling in your knee or lower back.
