Partner Resistance Exercises: Quadriceps Stretch

Video Transcript

"With this clip, we're going to apply resistance with your partner actually laying prone on their stomach but they are going to be using the front part of the thigh. So they don't have to worry about controlling any posture here in a leg press or a seat. They are totally relaxed and as your partner tries to bend their heel towards their body, they're going to resist on the meaty part of the calf and then as the partner lowers, you're going to resist more towards the shinbone, and release. All the way down and then as your partner comes up, you press against that calf again so it applies force and resistance into the quadriceps, front part of the thigh. You're going to feel and resist down in the front part of the leg. And again resisting up in the back part of the leg and resisting down on the front side to return, to facilitate quadriceps. Eight to ten reps to start out, ten to twelve, one to three sets to fatigue from there on."
