5 Quad Stretches (Patreon)

Hi lovelies! These are some stretches you can do if you're feeling tightness in your thighs & hip flexors. Great for before & after cardio! Description of each stretch below. Hold for 30 seconds to 1 minute. 

1. Lay on belly, bend your leg & press your heel in towards your glute. Press foot into palm, slight squeeze to your booty, try getting as much of your thigh off the mat as you can. Do about 5 of these then hold it up for a few breaths.

2. Pigeon pose, reach back same hand grabs foot, bring your heel in towards your booty. Try to keep hips squared.

3. Using one or two blocks curl over them, find your sweet comfortable spot. I like to curl over my lower back/tailbone area, keep one foot planted down & bend the other leg iso that the top of the foot is pressing into the mat. Don't force your knee down!

4. Press your knee against the base of the wall & curl your toes, use your blocks to come into a lunge. Keep your chest up! 

5. Woooo saved the most intense one in my opinion for last! From the previous lunge position press the top of your foot against the wall & walk your front foot in closer. Keep a straight back! Your heel should be pressing into your glute.
