How to Do the Long-Arc Quad Exercise (00:00:41)
Video Transcript
Long-arc quad exercises help strengthen the quad muscles in the front of your thigh.
Here's how to do them.
Sit in a chair and lift and straighten one leg, without locking your knee.
Hold the leg out straight while you slowly count to 5.
Do this exercise 8 to 12 times.
Then switch and do the other leg.
If this exercise gets easy, you can add a light weight around your ankle.
Some soreness or discomfort may be expected... but stop doing an exercise if you have increased pain.
