Quad Stretch

What it is

This static stretch effectively targets the large muscle group on the front of your thigh. You will use a strap or band to gently deepen the extension. The primary focus is on lengthening your quadriceps muscles. This movement helps improve flexibility.

Technique tips

• Focus on keeping your hips stacked and still.
• Gently pull the strap to feel the stretch, avoid bouncing.
• Maintain a neutral spine throughout the stretch.
• Breathe deeply and slowly into the stretch.
• Ensure your knee is pointing directly behind you.

How to track your progress

Log the hold time of each set. Straddly keeps your best hold for this exercise and tells you when you beat it, so a two-second gain does not go unnoticed.
