40 Stretching Exercises That Will Leave You Feeling Brand New

This kneeling quad stretch loosens the muscles right above your knee and your hip flexor especially well.

• Start off in a high lunge position with your right foot forward. Then slowly drop your left knee to the ground.
• Take a few moments to find your balance. Once you're stable, lift up your left foot, and reach back with your left arm to hold onto your left toes.
• Keep your chest up, and think about tucking your butt under to make sure you're feeling the stretch in your quads.
• Hold for 30 seconds, then repeat on the opposite side.
