Warm-Up Stretching Routine for Walkers

Quadriceps Stretch - Walking Warm-up Stretches

Quadriceps Stretch

Wendy Bumgardner ©

Stand erect, holding onto a wall for support.

Bend your knee behind you so that you can grasp your foot, holding your heel against your butt.

Stand up straight and push your knee gently back as far as you can, the hand just keeps the heel in place.

(For some, it is more comfortable to use the hand from the opposite side).

Hold for 15-30 seconds, then switch.
