IV. Quad Stretch
 
After working the thighs, you need to stretch the quadricep or knee muscles as these contract with the effort.
 
Stand tall with your knees together and feet pointing straight ahead.
   
Bend the right leg at the knee, clasp the right foot with your right hand, then slowly pull your foot towards the buttocks.
 
Raise your left hand straight upwards to maintain balance. Do not arch the back or flex the hip. Keep the abdomen tucked in.
   
Hold for a count of 12 – count slowly or for a minimum of 10 seconds, so that the muscle regains its original length.
   
Repeat for the left leg.
   
  Do only one stretch for each leg.
