On Your Side Quad Stretch

A stretch designed to target the quadriceps muscle group, ideal for flexibility.

Instructions

• Lie on your side with legs stacked.
• Bend your top knee and grasp your ankle or foot with your top hand.
• Gently pull your foot toward your buttocks, feeling a stretch in the quad.
• Hold the position for 20-30 seconds, then switch sides.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Not keeping the knees stacked and letting the top knee drift forward.
• Arching the lower back instead of isolating the stretch to the quad.
