=== Daily Deep Squat Stretch (03:37) ===

[00:00:00]  Greetings and welcome to the much awaited stretching tutorial video.
[00:00:06]  So I'm gonna show you the stretches I do on a daily basis.
[00:00:11]  So this is the first one.
[00:00:13]  I simply go down into a squatting position and then I use my elbows to push out my knees to really get in a deep position with my hips.
[00:00:24]  And then you can just sit like this as well if you want.
[00:00:28]  If you are watching some YouTube videos, etc. that takes five minutes or something like that, you can go down in this position.
[00:00:35]  And I'm trying to keep my back straight there.
[00:00:38]  Same thing, pushing out with my elbows.
[00:00:43]  So you can sit like that for five minutes each day and you will get some more mobility in your hip, both good for squats and for high kicks.
[00:00:52]  Now this also it stretches the behind of the legs.
[00:00:57]  It can be quite awkward to do in the beginning but as soon as you get the hang of it it will feel better.
[00:01:04]  And this one is for the inside, where I show there and you will just you see that I'm bouncing down a bit there to get a really good stretch, and this obviously depends on how flexible you are.
[00:01:18]  But since I'm quite flexible, I can go quite deep and switch over to the other leg and get a good depth there as well, and you can do these stretches for about 30 seconds on each leg.
[00:01:39]  And here we see a flexibility warm-up exercise, also good to warm up the legs, especially if you're doing some sort of either tie boxing or wrestling, etc.
[00:01:51]  Same thing here to work on that flexibility.
[00:01:55]  So those are the stretches I do on a regular basis, but not this warm-up flexibility exercises, because this I only do when I train something related to it.
[00:02:06]  And on another note, I couldn't resist doing some chins in this very inviting tree because I thought to.
[00:02:14]  I thought that would be a good addition to this particular video.
[00:02:19]  So anyway, what I also do is I try to get in some more training in whenever I can, so it doesn't need to be scheduled or anything, but just if I see something.
[00:02:32]  Now I was out in nature doing some filming for this video and then I saw a, a chins tree, and then I decided to do some more chins.
[00:02:41]  And here also, we were out and about taking some pictures, and then I see a, a rock that obviously needs to be climbed, because I've been playing some Assassin's Creed as of late.
[00:02:52]  So these types of additional training in your everyday life can definitely improve your flexibility as well.
[00:03:00]  So be active with your body.
[00:03:02]  Use your body and it will thank you for it.
[00:03:05]  So train hard in the gym but also take care of your flexibility.
[00:03:10]  And also it's fun to use your body like this.
[00:03:14]  So anyway, I hope this was useful to you and I hope you can incorporate some of these exercises in your daily routine.
[00:03:24]  But to conclude, the main exercise or the main stretch I would encourage you to do is the one I go down in the squatting position and I stay there for a while to get that good stretch.
