Looking At Ceiling

Stretch your quads and open your hips using this floor-based movement.

This simple stretch is perfect for loosening tight quads and promoting better posture. The kneeling position encourages an arch through the spine while stretching the front of the thighs.

Instructions

  1. Kneel on the floor and reach back to hold your heels with both hands.
  2. Push your hips forward and lift your chest, arching your spine as you look toward the ceiling.
  3. Hold briefly, then return to the starting position with control.
