Instructions
All Fours Quad Stretch
Start off on your hands and knees, then lift your leg off the floor and hold the foot with your hand.
Use your hand to hold the foot or ankle, keeping the knee fully flexed, stretching the quadriceps and hip flexors.
Focus on extending your hips, thrusting them towards the floor. Hold for 10-20 seconds and then switch sides.
Bench Jump
Begin with a box or bench 1-2 feet in front of you. Stand with your feet shoulder width apart. This will be your starting position.
Perform a short squat in preparation for the jump; swing your arms behind you.
Rebound out of this position, extending through the hips, knees, and ankles to jump as high as possible. Swing your arms forward and up.
Jump over the bench, landing with the knees bent, absorbing the impact through the legs.
Turn around and face the opposite direction, then jump back over the bench.
Verdict
Both exercises target the quadriceps. All Fours Quad Stretch is a intermediate exercise using bodyweight, while Bench Jump is intermediate and uses bodyweight.
