What are the thigh stretching exercises?

Nowadays, more and more people are sitting in offices, which leads to few people doing regular exercise. So they always feel their leg muscles twitching, and even more serious people may suffer from muscle atrophy. So they should do some appropriate exercise, but since they do not often do strenuous exercise, they can't rush for results, so they should start with the most basic stretching exercises.

Thigh stretch

Unilateral thigh extension and press down

1. Relax your whole body, sit on the floor, fold your right leg, stretch your left leg as far as possible, and keep your upper body straight.

2. Stretch your straight left leg backward, making the base of your thigh as close to the floor as possible. At this time, use both hands to support the floor and keep your upper body straight.

3. Stretch the arms that support your upper body forward and lean your upper body forward. At this point, you should feel a stretch in the ligaments of your thigh as it stretches backward. Switch legs and repeat.

Crouching squat

1. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and your hands naturally on your waist.

2. Keep your upper body straight, bend your knees, and squat naturally. When your thighs are parallel to the ground, slowly squat down until your heels are about to leave the ground.

Spread your legs and lean your upper body sideways

1. Sit down with your legs apart and stretched out to the sides.

2. Raise your right arm, close to your ear, straighten your waist, and place your left arm on your right hip.

3. Lean your upper body to the left, feel your right arm pressing on your ear, lean to the right as far as possible, and then straighten your upper body. Repeat this movement on the other side.

Put your feet together and lean forward

1. Sit on the floor, bend your knees, and place the soles of your feet together. At this time, keep your upper body straight.

2. Hold your ankles or toes with both hands, keep your feet together, and slowly lean your upper body forward. At this time, do not lower your head, keep your back straight.

Thigh stretching exercises are a kind of warm-up exercises. Because it is a warm-up exercise, the intensity of the exercise is not as great as everyone imagines. Generally speaking, many people can complete this exercise very easily. After doing this exercise, you will feel that the ligaments in your thighs have a better stretching feeling, and it will not cause fat to accumulate.
