The quadriceps are made up of four muscles on the front of your thigh. Their main function is to extend, or straighten, your knee, and they're involved in several important tasks of daily living, such as transitioning from sitting to standing and supporting your knees while you're standing or walking.

Stand on one leg. If you need support, hold onto something solid, such as a wall or chair, for support.

Bend your right knee and bring your heel toward your buttock.Reach for your ankle with the same hand. Right leg, right hand. 

Stand up straight and pull in your abdominal muscles. Try to keep your knees next to each other. Relax your shoulders. As you hold your leg in the bent position you will feel a slight pull along the front of your thigh and hip.

Breathe deeply and hold the stretch for 5-10, release and repeat on the left leg, this time holding your ankle with your right hand. Stretch each leg one to five times in a stretching session.

Why do the bottoms of my feet hurt on those reverse Nordics? Maybe I just have weak feet? Great quad stretch btw!

Truly wound too tight. Amazing how routines could look so simple but oh boy! These stretched me to my limits. Range of motion so restricted currently. Wow!

Simple but challenging.  Struggle with the hip flow thrust, modified with hand assistance.  Will keep working on it.
