QUADS
Shin Box Quad
The shin box quad is a mobility drill that opens up the hips and stretches the quads. Sitting with your legs arranged in the shin-box shape and leaning back gently lengthens the front of one thigh at a time. It's a useful addition for improving hip flexibility and lower-body movement quality.
How to do it
- 1
Sit on the floor with your left knee bent in front of you, thigh pointing straight ahead.
- 2
Fold your right leg so the knee points out to the side and your lower leg trails behind you.
- 3
Place your hands behind your hips for support.
- 4
Lean your torso back until you feel a comfortable stretch across the front of your right thigh.
- 5
Hold for 15 to 30 seconds, then switch your leg arrangement and repeat on the other side.
