Quadricep Stretch
Happy New Year and welcome to 2024! I hope this New Year brings you happiness, joy, and success in all areas of your life.
This month’s WOW’s will focus on stretching out your leg muscles. Sitting can cause the lower back, hips, and lower legs to become tight, so make sure you take frequent stretch breaks to loosen your muscles. We also have Katie Hoag, Associate Medical Group Administrator, to help demonstrate this month’s exercises.
Exercise: Quadricep stretch.
How to perform: Stand up tall and grab your left foot with your left hand. Pull the foot up and maintain balance by locking out your right knee and keeping your chest lifted. A modification can be to hold onto a wall for balance and support. You should feel a deep stretch on the front side of your thigh.
Duration: Hold for 30 seconds and repeat on both sides.
