Fitness Lesson #16: Split and Stretch Training Review (2009 Freddie’s Modern Kung Fu)

I had made a prior video with my disciple Aaron Manning showing various stretches. Here I am making another video as a reminder also in case anything was forgotten, plus I am showing a few standing stretches at the end. Remember each stretch must be held a minimal of 30 seconds. I am going through every stretch very fast for demonstration purposes only. If you hold each stretch for 30 seconds you will end up stretching for a minimal of 20 minutes. If you want to become more flexible do multiple sets for each stretch that you feel you need work on.

Freddie has founded Freddies Modern Kung Fu in 2009, a private Martial Arts Academy located in Chicago, IL that expresses his interpretation of Bruce Lees Jeet Kune Do. This art is non-commercialized and is in its purest form. All techniques are scientifically proven to be effective and all techniques are aimed towards unarmed street survival combat. Freddie hand selects disciples to personally train that have the proper discipline and compassionate heart to become successful in this art. Freddie can be contacted via email at: FreddiesModernKungFu@live.com

Some Basic Leg Stretches

Here are a few of the basic leg stretching exercises. You should spend about 15-20 mins stretching each day. I tried to do my video in half the time because of the 10 min time limit. There are more leg stretches I want to cover in future videos and I will post how to stretch all other parts of the body as well. For example, the Neck and Back, The Shoulder, Arms and Wrists, The sides of the ribs, hips and abdomen, and of course all the muscles and joints in the leg. Including thigh, calf, ankle, knee, inner and outer part of the leg, bottom, and lower back or tailbone.
