INSTRUCTIONS

everstretch side leg pull exercise

EXERCISE 4

Instructions:
 

Start facing sideways.

 

Put a loop around the ankle on back leg.

 

Knee of the back leg is bent.

 

Gently pull the strap down/forward until you feel a good stretch in your quads.

 
 
Tips:
 

Try to keep your shoulders away from your ears and engage your shoulder blades in the back. This will benefit your shoulder blade muscle strength.

 

Tighten your glutes to get more of a workout.

 
Challenge 1 :

Lift your heel up and down and slowly bend and stretch your knee of your lifting leg to work out your quads.

 
Challenge 2 :

Once you have full control in this position, try to hold the strap as high as you can until your hands are in line with your headline. Arms should be next to your ear.

 
Muscles Targeted:

Rectus femoris, Sartorius muscle and tensor fasciae Latae

    I struggle to see the difference in stretch 3 and 4 and far I am doing one or both wrong. The only difference I think I see is bending the leg at the knee. Is that it?

    Hi David,

    yes, the primary difference is keeping your leg straight, but this greatly impacts your upper body positioning and balance, so even they appear to be very similar, they feel quite different. I hope that helps.

    Warm Regards,
