Quadriceps Stretches

1. Stand on your left leg. You can support yourself on a wall or other structure with your left arm or you may not need the support. Bend your right leg. Hold onto your right ankle with your right had. Breathe. Hold for 10 seconds. Reverse legs. Hold for 10 seconds.

2.You can also do this move while lying down. This offers even more stretch to me. Hold your right ankle with your right arm in the same way. The sole of your left foot will be at least slightly under your right buttock. Hold for 10 seconds.
Breathe. Reverse legs. Hold for 10 seconds.
