Lift your leg up and grab under the outside of the foot and knee. Now we are holding the lunge down again, with our forehead on our hands. Now we are doing the lunge taps on the other side. At the end of the hold we roll up nice and slow. You can spread your legs a little further apart, but make sure they stay straight. Stay down and come to the center and put your palms on the floor. Make sure to keep your back flat and core tight as you hold the lunge. Cross your arms in front of your chest and rest your forehead on your hands. Now we hold down in the lateral lunge position. Step your feet together and come back up, before repeating. Touch the inside of the foot of the bent knee with your opposite hand, and have the other arm extending behind you. Stand with your feet together and then step your feet apart and go down into a lunge on the left side. This is the hardest move in the workout for me, it really burns out my quads. Shaun T tells you to squeeze the glute and then drop in even lower, to get the most out of the stretch. We are doing the same sequence on the other side. Stay in the stretch with the arms up by your ears. After that go back into the squat and repeat. Switch when Shaun T tells you.ĭo a basic squat and then extend the leg straight behind you, like a lunge but the back leg is straight. Grab and hold the front toe to stretch out the calf. Bend the back leg, while keeping the front leg straight. When the leg is at the top, meet it with the fingers of the opposite hand.Įxtend one leg slightly in front of the other and only place the heel on the ground.
Now we alternate kicking each leg into the air, while keeping it straight. Make sure to maintain good posture throughout.Įxercise #3 – Alternating Straight Leg Kick Now hold the knee up until Shaun T tells you to switch for the other side. Just alternate grabbing each knee and pulling it into your chest. I highly recommend, you spend the 25 minutes each week to do this workout as scheduled, because your body needs it. Relief and Off-Day Stretch from Insanity Asylum Volumes 1 & 2 are better, but I feel like Stretch is the most focused, and uses the 25 minutes way more efficiently. I find the 2 recovery workouts in Insanity to be too hard on the body, there are just too many holds and pulses for it to be a true recovery. Compared to some of Shaun T’s other stretching workouts, I think this one is my favorite.
I really enjoy this one and it really targets all the muscles we have been attacking throughout the week, and leaves you feeling refreshed. We will use this Stretch workout during all 3 phases of T25.
