quad stretches

Front leg limbering

Quad stretches are exercises that lengthen the quadriceps muscles at the front of the thigh.

The most common involves standing on one leg while pulling the other foot toward the buttocks: I always do quad stretches before running.

These stretches help maintain flexibility and are standard in warm-up and cool-down routines.
