  2. Quad Stretch: Stand and pull one foot towards your glutes, keeping your knees close together.
  3. Chest Stretch: Clasp your hands behind your back and straighten your arms, lifting them slightly.
  4. Tricep Stretch: Bring one arm overhead and bend your elbow, gently pushing on the elbow with your other hand.
  5. Calf Stretch: Step one leg back, keeping it straight, and press the heel into the ground.

Remember to hold each stretch for 15-30 seconds and repeat on both sides for maximum benefit.
