Flexy Friday - Standing Quad Stretch Best demonstrated by someone other than me ... my flexibility is still a work in progress! Anyways, here we go with a stretch for your quads! Here's the Standing Quad Stretch - you can do this anywhere - in the office, at the gym, or out on the trail before a run. Hold 30 seconds per stretch and repeat 3-5 times with each leg. Stand upright and bend one leg back, grabbing the top of that foot. Bring your foot as close to your butt as possible while keeping your bent knee inline with your other knee. Push your hips forward for a deepened stretch. Hold onto a wall for balance if needed and repeat on the other leg. Got questions?

 Glute Stretches Your glute muscles are critical to your every day life!  They support hip rotation, walking, running and tackling stairs.  Your glute muscles are also connected to many other muscles - so tightness in the glutes can manifest in tightness or pain in your in your leg, back, hip and pelvic regions.   Take on stretching out your glutes regularly with the Pigeon Pose - which works out your gluteus maximus, gluteus minimus, hips and your piriformis (there is nothing worse than a tight piriformis ... watch for it in an upcoming Muscle Monday). Start from a  downward dog position,  bend left leg and drop knee to left.  Next, extend right leg behind you.  Press right hip towards the mat. Inhale, then exhale as you walk your palms as far forward as is comfortable.  It’s very important to keep your hips squared away in this pose.  Hold for 20 to 30 seconds, then repeat on the right leg. #HealthyLivingWarrior #GayPersonalTraine...
