How To Do A Flexibility Workout

Here we go! Hi, my name is Ricardo Macedo. I'm from R-Fitness in Kensington, London. We're going to show you how to do some exercise and present you with a few guidelines, so let's get ready.

Hi, today we are going to show you a workout in how to improve your flexibility. Simple basic exercise, we're going to give you a good, flexible body. There are many ways to achieve a good, flexible body.

The main way is consistency. The ideal stretch would be after your workout. If you have a chance to have a workout before stretching, so you can start gently.

When you feel muscles getting tense about pulling, relax. It should not be painful. You should not be struggling.

Okay? Start gently, increase gradually and you'll get it. Today, Phen is going to show us a few different stretches and we're going to start with one. Legs open, wide open, we're going to go left and right, and we go over and down, reach for your feet, rise, down right in the middle, rise, and on the other side.

You should hold the position for 15 seconds in each position, then repeat again for three times. That's one basic one. We got a few more to show you.

I'm going to ask Phen, that you sit down on the floor. Yes, that's a good one, and you're going to reach forward as far as you can get. Good.

Try to hold it for 15 seconds and then repeat on the other side. Good. You hold the time and then you do the one in the back.

Same prime position. Yes. Good, good, good.

Hold for 15 seconds, and then the other side. Good. We're going to make sure you have a good stretch in your abs as well and your core so we're going to ask Phenny to lie down on her stomach.

Turn around and rise. Compress your spine and stretch with your whole abs. Stretch a few flexes.

Good. So, a few more stretches for your upper body and you're there! Phenny, can I ask you to stand up. Triceps and above.

Yes, that's a good one. Hold the position for 15 seconds; switch sides. Hold the position and stretch upwards.

Reach forward and in the front, really stretching your back. That's the very basic ones, so, that's all for today. Thank you! .
