Stretching is an important part of sealing off your workout. It elongates the muscles and increases your flexibility, ultimately helping you gain strength and prevent injuries in the future. Here’s how to do a simple quadricep stretch after working your legs:
1. Stand on your left leg, one knee touching the other.
2. Feel free to hold onto something stable, like the chair or the wall, if you need assistance
3. Using your right hand, take hold of your right foot and pull it towards your glutes
4. Hold the position for 30 – 60 seconds until you feel a gentle stretch
5. Repeat on the left
Remember to release the stretch if at any point you feel a sharp pulling sensation or intense discomfort.
