❌ This quad stretch is not effective. I’m going to teach two different active quad stretches that will unlock your quads and hip flexors. This is your rectus femoris muscle which is your middle quad and a hip flexor muscle. Do these active quad stretches instead. This first one is the more advanced version. Once your quads and hip flexors are maximally stretched out, you will kick your back leg into the bench, which will cause your quad muscles to contract. Hold this stretched out contraction. Next, contract your hamstring muscles by trying to bring your heel to your hips and holding this contraction. If this is too challenging try this easier version. With this version, keep your front knee on the ground. You will again perform both the kick back and heel to hip contractions as before. If you’ve been stretching for years but making little progress, active stretches like this one will be a game changer for you. Save it ✅ Share it 😎 Do it 🏆 Have fun!

Tight quads? Here are 5 levels to stretch them—progress as your mobility improves 👇 1️⃣ Standing quad stretch Great starting point. Simple, effective, and easy to do anywhere. 2️⃣ Half-kneeling quad stretch Adds a hip extension component—key for athletes and anyone who sits a lot. 3️⃣ Couch stretch A favorite for runners and lifters. Big stretch through the quad and hip flexor. 4️⃣ Reverse Nordics Not just a stretch—this loads the quad through range to build resilience and tolerance. 5️⃣ Supine kettlebell block The biggest stretch of all of them. Allows longer holds and deeper relaxation into the tissue. 💡 Start where you can control the position and breathe. None of these should be painful, just a deep stretch. #chiropractor #chiropractic #rehab #mobility #flexibility #sportschiro #athletedevelopment #injuryprevention #recovery #movement #performance #fyp #quads #quadstretch #hipflexor

Ski Stretch: 😊 Calves stretch - Step one leg back. Keep this knee straight as you press the heel towards the ground. 😊⁠ Hold 30- 60seconds

4 leg stretches I do everyday! 🔥 I always find 5 minutes everyday to do some light mobility and stretching and there’s 4 movements that more times than not make an appearance… ⬇️ 1️⃣ seated quad stretch 2️⃣ seated hamstring stretch 3️⃣ lunge stretch 4️⃣ child’s pose Don’t over complicate your mobility and stretching, pick a few movements for each muscle group and be consistent and you’ll see progress 👊🏻 Aim to spend 30-60s on each stretch and repeat as much as necessary 🔥 Save this and let me know how you get on 🙏🏻 #stretching #mobilitywork #legstretch #tighthamstrings #quadstretch

COUCH STRETCH . One of my favs for stretching out the quads and front of your hips. I like to hold for 1 minute each side POST training. . Modifications: 1. Scoot knee out from wall to make it less intense of a stretch 2. Keep arm down to make it less intense of a stretch . . #mobility #quad #stretch #stretching #crossfit #physicaltherapy #health

This is more about your quads than you think. Tight hip flexors and quads can pull your pelvis forward, limit your mobility, and create tension in your lower back. Instead of forcing deeper stretches, focus on opening the front of the body with control. Move slow. Let it release over time. Save this and come back to it. #quadstretch #hipflexorstretch #mobilitytraining #yogaflow #bodycontrol

𝗚𝗲𝘁 𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗴𝗲𝗿 𝗵𝗮𝗺𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗴𝗲𝗿 𝗤𝗨𝗔𝗗𝗦! To make the most out of your flexibility training you need to make sure that you always train both the lengthening and shortening side of the muscle/skill. Let's say in a pike for example. The hamstrings are lengthening as we lift the leg, and the front of the thigh (quadriceps), get shorter and contract to pull the leg up. 𝗜𝗳 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗴𝗲𝘁 𝗱𝗲𝗲𝗽𝗲𝗿 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗽𝗶𝗸𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼: 1. Increase the flexibility in the hamstrings to allow them to lengthen more. 2. Build more strength in the quadriceps to pull you deeper into the stretch. So anytime you are stretching you always want to think of this pairing between lengthening/shortening. Now we can stretch/strengthen both of those. But the most important thing is that you build both passive flexibility AND active flexibility. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗦𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗞𝗻𝗲𝗲 𝗘𝘅𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 This drill is going to increase the strength in your quadriceps (extending the knee) in deep hip flexion that is similar to that one of the pike. What this does is that it teaches your quads to contract hard in order to get you into the position by locking the knee in towards the midline. I generally start with this one seated for less resistance against gravity and then progress to a pancake or seated pike position for more gravity resistance. I like two different rep/set schemes for this one: Scheme 1 → 2-3 sets x 10 reps w. 2-3s hold on each rep. Scheme 2 → 2-3 sets x 5 reps w. 5-10s hold on each rep Yours In Strength, Coach Sid . #mobility #flexibility #mobilitytraining #flexibilitytraining #mobilityexercises #flexibilitydrills
