Now let me show you some stretching exercise against the wall. This will help you build flexibility. First, let?s do the front stretch. Ready. Standing against the wall, you want to touch your shoes, your toes, grab your shoes, and forward - one, two, three, four, five. Make sure you keep both legs straight. Whatever you do to one side, do to other. I?m counting as a repetition of five but you could do as many as ten, fifteen or twenty five or more. Here, we put the other leg up, one, two, three, four, five. Now we're going to do the Sidekick. Ready. Point your toes up, touch your toes - one, two, three, four, five. Good. Now let's switch. One, two, three, four, five. Now back kick. One, two, three, four, five. Switch legs. One, two, three, four, five. Another one that's very popular as you put your leg on the wall, then your hand touching the floor - one, two, three, four, five. Switch legs - two, two, three, four, five. Ladies and gentlemen this concludes the Front Stretch, Side Stretch, Back Stretch, and Leg Stretch against the Wall and Hands on the Floor.
