10in10 Day 3 - Hamstrings
Today's focus is on stretching the quads, a major muscle group. It's more effective to stretch one leg at a time rather than both simultaneously. Start by kneeling with one foot on the ground, focusing on stretching the left leg. Squeeze your butt, tuck your tail, and engage your core to feel the stretch from knee to hip. Regularly stretching the quads is crucial for Jiu Jitsu practitioners to prevent lower back issues. Avoid this stretch if you have knee problems. Switch sides and hold for half a minute. Remember to breathe and relax. Another quad stretch involves lunging forward with one foot while keeping hips down.
