Tight quads can pull your posture out of alignment and limit your lower-body mobility. This stretch helps reverse that by targeting the front of your thigh and hip flexor area. FitnessTracker recommends including this stretch in your cool-down routine or after long periods of sitting.
Instructions
- Lie on your side and loop a belt, band, or rope around the top foot.
- Flex your knee and pull your heel toward your glutes.
- Gently pull the band overhead or behind your shoulder to increase the stretch.
- Hold for 10–20 seconds, breathing slowly throughout.
- Switch sides and repeat.
