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.
Double Leg Butt Kick
Begin standing with your knees slightly bent.
Quickly squat a short distance, flexing the hips and knees, and immediately extend to jump for maximum vertical height.
As you go up, tuck your heels by flexing the knees, attempting to touch the buttocks.
Finish the motion by landing with the knees only partially bent, using your legs to absorb the impact.
