Hold for 1 min, don't bend forward, bring knee back if able, feel it in the "quad" and "hip flexor" (front of hip), no "pain pain", only a "nice discomfort", perform 5-10 per day
******Changes/Updates******** Add in the "hip flexors" more by bring knee back more, will fill it more in the front of the hip
*******Update****8/2/17****** Reminder to keep this one in your program. Keep trying to bring the knee back more as able to get more quadriceps and a little of hip flexor muscle. Will do a better hip flexor stretch with the other exercise below.
