How to do the Quad Stretch with Strap

1. Lie on your side or on your stomach and loop a strap or band around one ankle.
2. Bend that knee and bring the strap over your shoulder, holding it with both hands on the same side.
3. Gently pull the strap to draw your heel toward your glute until you feel a stretch along the front of your thigh.
4. Keep your knees close together and breathe steadily as you hold, then switch sides.

Tips

• Tuck your tailbone slightly and keep your hips facing forward rather than letting your back arch.

Adjustments

• Use a towel or belt if you don't have a strap.
• Hold the strap further from your ankle if pulling your heel close feels strong.
