00:06If you're dealing with leg muscle pain, you're not alone.
00:09Whether it's from overuse, sitting too long, or daily strain,
00:13today, I'll guide you through simple and effective exercises to help relieve that discomfort.
00:18Gentle warm-up
00:19First, let's start with a quick warm-up to get blood flowing.
00:22Stand tall and gently march in place for 30 seconds.
00:25This helps loosen up the muscles and prepares your legs for stretching.
00:28Hamstring Stretch
00:29Now for your hamstrings, the muscles in the back of your thighs.
00:33Sit with one leg extended, and slowly reach toward your toes, hold for 20-30 seconds.
00:41And don't force the stretch, just breathe.
00:44Quadriceps Stretch
00:45Next up, your quadriceps, the muscles in the front of your thigh.
00:49Stand tall, grab your ankle behind you, and gently pull it toward your glutes.
00:53Keep your knees close together, and hold for 20-30 seconds.
