Standing Elevated Quad Stretch

A 200-characters-or-less explanation of the exercise.

Instructions

• Begin by standing in front of an elevated surface such as a bench.
• Place one foot on the elevated surface and bend your knee to bring your heel towards your glutes.
• Grasp your ankle with the corresponding hand, keeping your knee aligned with your hip.
• Hold the stretch, feeling the stretch in your quadriceps.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Leaning too far forward or backward, disrupting balance.
• Allowing the knee to splay outwards or inwards, misaligning the stretch.
• Not holding the ankle securely, risking sudden release or imbalance.
