Overview
The Pilates singleleg stretch is an exercise targeting the quadriceps muscles. It is performed by lying on your back with your legs extended and then raising one leg up towards the ceiling while keeping the other leg flat on the ground. You then hold this position for a few seconds before lowering your leg back down. This exercise can be repeated on the other leg. The Pilates singleleg stretch is a great way to stretch and strengthen your quadriceps muscles. It can also help to improve your balance and coordination.
