Ok, this is a maximum stretch that I'm going to show you right now. So let's get on it. So, you're going to bring your body to the left side. Try to stretch on the side of your body. Try to keep your shoulders and your neck separate from your body. So, put your shoulders along your neck and then from there we're going to stretch my back. I'm going to go straight all the way down, keeping all the time my knees straight. I'm going all the way around to the other side. And I'm going to finish, standing. And I'm going to try to do the same thing to the other side. Repeat the same thing. Keep your shoulders along your neck, long arms. This one you repeat it, pretty much like four times. That would be a good amount. So let's do it again. Side to side. I'm going to stretch my body, let's go completely to the low back and I'm going to go back to the other side,and finish it. And I'm going to stretch my low back. Now I'm going to stay on this side and I'm going to bend my knees and it’s a big lunge we call the fourth position. This fourth position are the big lunges that we're doing. We're going to stretch. Try to keep your hips in place. If your hips are out of place. You're not stretching. Try to keep your hips straight. Bring it down and be careful with your back. Don't curve it, especially along your back. Let the line grow from the top of your head. Do it like six, seven times. That's going to help you to stretch your body. And you're going to do the same thing to the other side. So, all the way down and from there you're going to stretch it one more time. Breathe and relax. Drop your head. That's the most important about it. Ok. Be careful you don't curve your back. Stretch in a long line. One more time, bring it up. Keep it up. Center, the same thing. And then from there, roll your body, and that’s how you do maximum stretch. Move on to the next clip.
