Left Quad Stretch With Wall

Muscles worked: Legs & Glutes

Left Quad Stretch With Wall stretches the front of the left thigh using a wall for balance: standing on the right leg, you bend the left knee, hold the left foot behind you, and let the front of the thigh lengthen.

Hold the wall lightly for balance, keep your knees close together, and tilt your pelvis slightly to feel the stretch in the front of the thigh rather than in the knee. If the knee complains, ease off — the stretch should be in the muscle, not the joint.

How to do it

1. Stand on your right leg near a wall and hold the wall lightly for balance.
2. Bend your left knee and hold your left foot behind you.
3. Keep your knees close together and tilt your pelvis slightly to feel the stretch in the front of the thigh.
4. Hold the stretch while breathing normally.
5. If the knee complains, ease off — the stretch should be in the muscle, not the joint.
