Our next stretching exercise for our boxing workout is going to be the quadriceps stretch. Here to help us out again is Nick. Okay, all you're simply going to do is again you're going to take a seat and just like we were doing the hamstrings stretch, except now we're going to take one leg and we're going to bring it around behind us like this and you're planting your toe against the ground. Okay and you're just going to lean your back backwards. If it's here, that's fine. If you can go all the way back and that's what you do. Basically it's taking this muscle group that runs over your knee called your quadriceps and stretching that out. That's how you're going to do that. You're going to come up, readjust yourself, come back down. That's it. Now you change position for the other leg? Yes. Then the other leg, of course, you're just doing the same thing but it's just on the other side and once again, ten to fifteen seconds for each stretch which is good then you're going to come up and go back down. It doesn't matter where your hands are, they can be anywhere as long as your toe is staying planted in the mat cause this is not going to stretch. This is where you stretch. That's good. Thank you Nick.
