Building Thigh Muscles with Stretching Exercise

Stretching is an excellent mode of attaining the fitness levels par excellence. Apart from this, stretching exercise could also be highly beneficial in building a sound muscular strength. We have already shed light on the stretching exercise for neck and back, in the present article, we would like to have a look at few exercises for building the thigh muscles.

Reverse as well as inner thigh stretch helps shaping thigh muscles

This kind of stretching exercise is best performed after you rise from a squat position, while you have already stretched the neck and back muscles. Straighten yourself, and extend your right leg to your right. Following this, use your right hand to gently push your right knee towards the floor, thus stretching the inner as well as the back thigh and calf muscle.

Simultaneously, also try and use your left elbow to push out against the inside of your left knee, thus stretching the inner thigh of the opposite leg. Making ten to twelve reps helps you gain the maximum benefits from this stretching endeavour. Further, in order to reverse and return to the squat position and extend the opposite leg. It is very important to ensure that during each rep you should stretch the muscle a little more than in the previous attempt.

Seated hamstring stretch strengthening the hamstring muscles

To perform the hamstring stretch, sit on the floor, legs astride and straight. Gently lean down towards your right side, grabbing your right ankle or foot to pull down, then move to the centre and stretch forward, trying to place your head or chest on the floor in front of you. Then move across to your left side and lean forward, taking hold of your left ankle or foot and pulling down gently. Alternate the exercise from left to right to centre in each rep trying to stretch a little further than the last.

A word of caution

It is very important to note that this exercise should not be performed with haste and bouncing or excess stretching during this exercise should always be avoided.
