Quadricep Stretches

Workout Routines

Lying Quadricep Stretch

The Lying Quadricep Stretch is an alternative to the Standing Quadricep Stretch if you have problems keeping balance. You can also stretch the Hip Flexors in this position by rotating the pelvis backwards to lengthen both Quadriceps and Hip Flexors. The proper way of performing this stretch is to keep both sides of the hips in contact with the ground at all times.

Standing Quadricep Stretch

The Standing Quadricep Stretch is probably the most common Quadricep stretch, and most effective. To maximize the Quadricep stretch, and to get the Hip Flexors involved, tilt your pelvis backwards (bringing the belly button into your spine). This stretch should be completed after an intense leg workout, followed by a Hip Flexor stretch to relieve excess tension.
