Comments and tips
Make sure to keep your torso upright and avoid leaning forward or backward. Focus on the stretch in the front of your thigh. If you have trouble balancing, you can hold onto a wall or chair for support. Remember to switch sides to stretch both legs evenly.
Cautions
Avoid pulling your foot too hard or too fast, as this can strain the muscles in your thigh. Stop the stretch if you feel any pain or discomfort.
