Assisted Prone Lying Quads Stretch

Lie face down on the mat. Bend your left knee and bring your left heel towards your glutes. Reach back with your left hand and grab your left foot. Gently pull your foot towards your glutes, feeling a stretch in the front of your left thigh. Hold for 20 seconds. Repeat on the other side.

How to perform the Assisted Prone Lying Quads Stretch

  1. Set up. Set up in a stable, balanced starting position appropriate for the Assisted Prone Lying Quads Stretch using your assisted.
  2. Brace and execute. Brace your core, control the descent, and move through a full pain-free range of motion while emphasizing your quadriceps.
  3. Reset. Reverse the movement under control and reset between repetitions, keeping your form crisp on every rep.

Coaching cues

  • Move with intent — every rep should feel deliberate, not rushed.
  • Drive force through your quadriceps rather than momentum.
  • Keep your breathing steady: exhale on the hard part, inhale on the reset.

Common mistakes

  • Using too much weight and losing positional control.
  • Cutting the range of motion short and missing the target muscle.
  • Letting your spine round or hyperextend instead of staying neutral.
