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.
Linear Depth Jump
You will need two boxes or benches spaced a few feet away from each other. Begin by standing on one box facing towards the other platform.
To initiate the movement, gently drop down to the ground between your platforms, allowing the knees and hips to flex.
Reverse the motion by exploding, extending through the hips, knees, and ankles to jump onto the other platform.
Land softly, asborbing the impact through the legs.
Verdict
Both exercises target the quadriceps. All Fours Quad Stretch is a intermediate exercise using bodyweight, while Linear Depth Jump is intermediate and uses other. Choose All Fours Quad Stretch if you have access to bodyweight, or Linear Depth Jump if you prefer other.
