Video: Lying Down Quad Stretch

So I'm super excited...this is my FIRST REAL VIDEO (yes less than 20 seconds). Thanks to my sister for patiently filming in the chilly weather. I hope this is helpful in showcasing the stretch. I know the music is super cheesy but maybe better than just hearing the wind? 

Lying Down Quad Stretch

Hello lovely readers,

The lying down quad stretch is one of my favourite post-running stretches, not only for my quads but hips as well. Here's a step-by-step guide for stretching your right side (forgive any pained expressions. It was sunny!):

 Step 1: Start in a seated position with your knees bent

 

                                                                
Step 2: Grab your right ankle with your right hand as your left knee bends to the left

 Step three: Slowly lean back on your elbows. You should now feel the stretch through your right quad and right hip flexor. Hold for about 10 seconds.

                                                                         

Step 4 (Optional): For an even deeper stretch lay all the way down on your back. Hold for about 10 seconds.

 

Repeat on the other side!

*I'll be posting a video of this move shortly done with the left leg*
