How to do it

  1. 01

    Start off on your hands and knees, then lift your leg off the floor and hold the foot with your hand.

  2. 02

    Use your hand to hold the foot or ankle, keeping the knee fully flexed, stretching the quadriceps and hip flexors.

  3. 03

    Focus on extending your hips, thrusting them towards the floor. Hold for 10-20 seconds and then switch sides.

In the app

All Fours Quad Stretch needs no kit, so it appears whenever the day's window has room for it. Its minutes come from Rule 2 (Sessions are built to fit, never guaranteed, graded product): the window sets how long it runs, never the other way round.

If a machine is taken the engine swaps a same-pattern movement and says why.

Same pattern, with kit

Same movement pattern, same primary muscles — swap by what you have.
