Quadricep Stretch
•
Stand with feet parallel and
directly below the hips.
•
Bend your left knee and take
hold of your left foot with your
left hand. If you have difficulty
reaching your foot, you may find
it helpful to loop a strap or towel
around your foot. Raise your
right hand for balance.
•
Straighten the front of your left
leg so that the knee is pressing
toward the floor and you feel
the stretch on the front of your
left thigh.
•
Repeat on the other side.
Tricep Stretch
•
Raise your left arm overhead
and bend the elbow.
•
Take hold of that elbow with
your right hand and gently pull
the arm toward the right side of
your body.
•
Repeat on the other side.
Shoulder Stretch
•
Straighten your left arm and
raise it the level of your shoulder.
•
Using the right hand, reach
beneath your arm to the left
elbow and gently pull the arm
across the front of your body.
•
Repeat on the other side.
Bicep Stretch
•
Turning your thumbs toward
the ceiling, reach both arms
behind your body and lift them
up, keeping the arms straight.
