Tight quads can lead to poor posture, hip discomfort, and limited mobility—especially if you sit a lot or train hard. The Prone Quad Stretch is a gentle but effective way to target the front of your thigh and improve flexibility.
Here’s how to do it right:
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Get Into Position
Lie face down on a comfortable mat. - Loop the Strap
Wrap a stretch strap or resistance band around the foot of the leg you want to stretch. - Gently Pull
Using the strap, gently pull your foot toward your glutes. Keep your hips pressed firmly into the floor to isolate the stretch in your quads. - Focus on the Stretch
You should feel a deep, steady stretch along the front of your thigh. Avoid arching your back or twisting your hips. - Hold and Repeat
Hold the stretch for 30 seconds to 1 minute. Complete three sets per leg.
This stretch is perfect post-workout or anytime you need to release tension in the legs. It’s simple, effective, and a must-have for anyone wanting better lower-body mobility.
