Day 24: Hinge Quad Stretch

What this exercise is for:

  • Dynamic stretch of the quads, hamstrings and calves.

How to do it:

  • Stand on your left leg and grab your right foot behind you.

  • You may already feel a quad stretch in this position.

  • Hinge at your hips, lowering your torso toward the ground while keeping your back straight.

  • Reach your left hand down toward your left (supporting) foot.

  • Stand back up and switch sides.

  • This exercise is easily done while walking forward, if you have the space to do so.

  • If you struggle keeping your balance, do this movement in place next to a wall, or holding the back of a chair.

  • Do 5-10 reps then switch to the other side
