Transcripts

Donna Wilkinson: We are now going to go to a hamstring strengthening and stretching exercise. This is going to be a standing straight leg march and I will do it from the sideways to show you want to keep your core strength; you want to have your arms out flat and you are basically going to kick up to touch your arms. Now, you dont want to bend your body forward to reach us. So, you really want to make sure as youre kicking that your body is staying, nice and straight as you do this.

So, here we go. Nice kick, just kick it up. Keep that core nice and tight as you are moving. Now if you are not kicking up this high in the beginning, dont worry it will come, just nice, gentle stretch on those hamstrings. Touching those toes to the fingers and looking great. So, you should feel really nice stretch in the back of your hamstrings. Really start to loosen those legs up, getting into our workout.
