Coach Nicole of SparkPeople.com leads you through a short (3-minute) routine of lower body stretches for the legs (quads, hamstrings, calves) and butt (glutes) that you can do while lying on the floor.

Really great.  But... the warm up is really important, maybe you could have done the 30second introduction while jogging just to illustrate the point.

Also, I noticed the sniffles, hope you are feeling well.

Great video Nicole!

Spark People, wonderful.

Thanks. I have exercise-induced rhinitis, which means I get an allergic reaction when exercising that results in sniffles! I know it can be distracting and sometimes it sounds worse than other times, but it's not very easy to control, especially when I wear a microphone that amplifies the sound! :-)

These are very similar to what my physical therapist gave me to strengthen my low back. Thank you very much! It boosts my confidence that they are working!

This is a really great stretching video. I've used stretching exercises like this before and Coach Nicole has a great enthusiasm for teaching these exercises. These stretches feel really good after a workout!

These are great stretches. I have pulled my gluteus maximus muscle and have been in agony for last couple of days . These exercises are helping. Thank you for sharing
