Quad Tightness after runs? Try these 3 steps before your next one!

As a runner, our quads take a lot of load - each step can be 4-6x our bodyweight that our quads have to handle!
If you are dealing with soreness or tightness, try these exercises.
1. Quad scraping with the Echo - bring more blood flow to the area - warm up the quads effectively without having to spend an hour on the roller! It’s also a lot easier to scrape, than lie on the ground and basically have to plank to roll out your quads
2. Active stretch with the blue Sidekick stretch band - pull your leg up and then kick your foot down into the band and hold. Do this in short bursts if you are planning to go do a workout or a run, as dynamic stretching is better for pre-workout
3. Knee extensions to isolate quad strength - work the muscle specifically! Use the Sidekick glute band around your ankles and anchor one leg back, then kick out with the working leg.
Quads are fired up and ready to go!
