5. Stretching the quadriceps while standing
- Stand straight with one leg balanced, pull the heel of one leg towards your pelvis, and grab the foot with your hand. The other hand can hold onto the support.
- Use your hands to pull your heel as close to your buttock as possible, keeping your knees together.
- Hold as long as needed until you feel muscle relaxation.
- Then repeat on the other side.
Recommendations
- If you are doing strength sports, stretch your quadriceps at the end of your workout or in between sets for leg exercises where the quadriceps is one of the targets.
- Stretch the muscles in each exercise for 30-60 seconds, depending on the difficulty of the exercise and how it feels.
- If you want to achieve good flexibility for the development of splits, do each exercise for 1-3 minutes, depending on the difficulty.
