RECOVERY DRILL, MODIFIED EXERCISE 4: MODIFIED THIGH STRETCH

The instructor may modify the thigh stretch by decreasing the range of motion. The starting position may be assumed using the hands (Figure 103).

The knee bend may be restricted so pull the leg slightly toward the front. Over time, the Soldier gradually increases the range of motion and works toward the standard execution of each exercise. The Soldier may also perform this exercise in a kneeling position, assuming the starting position from the modified extend and flex (Figure 6-104).
