APT Protocol: 5. Static Rectus Femoris Stretch

1 x 45 seconds each leg
Instructions: Have a bench, chair, couch, or bed near you. Start in a kneeling position with the back leg propped up and supported by the chair or whatever it is you are using. Kneel upwards and be as tall as possible. Keep the glute on the back leg squeezed as you bring the butt close to the heel of the back leg. You should hold this stretch and not move for 45 seconds. You should feel a lot of stretching occurring right down the center of the thigh.
