Hi, welcome to basic stretching. My name is Joseph, and in this segment, we're going to do a high lunge, with a hamstring stretch. Now, these stretches are meant primarily for after your cardio work. The reason, is because they're more static. We're going to be holding the stretches a little bit longer. Whenever you stretch before your cardio workout, you want to do stretches that are a little bit quicker, so that being said, start on your hands and knees, and step your right foot forward into a high lunge. Keep the front knee right over the ankle, and then slowly press down through the back foot, lifting the back knee up off the floor, so here as you push your back heel back, pull your stomach muscles and your chest muscles forward, opening up the chest nice and wide. Now, one of the options here as you're stretching, instead of putting your hands flat, come up on the fingertips. The reason is, watch the difference in my shoulders. Hands flat, my shoulders collapse, fingertips open up. This just gives you a little bit more strength, and a little more power. Take a few breaths here, enjoy the breath, and then inhale your front leg straight. Walk your hands back a couple of inches, under the shoulders, and then if you would like a little bit more something, something, go ahead and flex your front foot, and bow forward, deepening your stretch. Again, keep the breath smooth and even. Try not to get reactive to your stretching. If at any point in time your breath starts to shorten, you're not doing your body any good. Pull back and slow it down, and come back to that high lunge, and twist sides. Lower the back knee, and bring your left foot forward. Again, check and make sure your knee is right over the ankle, and then lift the back leg up off the floor. Extend the back heel back, pull your belly and your chest forward, opening up the chest nice and wide, and breathe, and inhale your front leg straight, walking the hands back again, just a little bit, and if you want more of a stretch, flex that front foot as you bow forward, and slowly inhale to come up. Nice work. Remember, when you're stretching to move smoothly and evenly, keeping the breath deep, so this is basic stretching. My name is Joseph. Until the next one, have a good one.
