Quick & Effective 10-Minute Lower Body Stretch Routine for Hikers, Runners, Walkers, & Busy Folks!
Welcome to my ten minute deep stretch for hikers, runners and people who spend all day on their feet. Follow along with me as I move through the nine poses I recommend for people who hike, run or walk a lot (people on their feet all day).
When we run or walk we move in a linear, repetitive motion which can strengthen our muscles but leave them tight and prone to injury. Not to mention the repetitive motion can have an impact on our connective tissues- including fascia, tendons and ligaments, which can also get tight. That's why the more you hike and run, the tighter your legs and hips feel.
Poses in this video:
1. Standing Fold
- stretches the hamstrings, calves and spine.
2. Kneeling Lunge
-stretches the hips, hip flexors, glutes, thighs and core
3. Lizard Lunge
-stretches your hamstrings, hip flexors, and quadriceps.
4. Pigeon Pose
-stretches the muscles of the groin, back, thigh, piriformis and psoas.
5. Pyramid Pose
-stretches and strengthens the hamstrings, calves and spine.
6. Yogi Squat
-stretches and targets the quadricep, hamstring, gluteal, and calf muscles of the legs, plus, it strengthens the lower back and core.
7. Frog Pose -stretches the hips, adductors and medial hamstring.
8. Happy Baby
- stretches Gluteus maximus, Adductor magnus, Gracilis, Biceps femoris, Semitendionsus, Popliteus, Tibialis posterior, Gastrocnemius, and Semimembranosus.

January 22nd 2024- January 31st 2024. The resorts that honor the Epic Pass: Andermatt-sedrun-desentis. The town we stayed in for 5 nights was Goschenen We also spent 2 night in Zermatt! Here's how we did it on a budget and still enjoyed our time: 1. We cashed in our Delta Am Ex Miles to cover air fare. If you don't have a sky miles credit card, it is how we pay for all of our airfare throughout...

    This video brought lots of good memories. It made me forget the bugs, the rains, and the rare a_ _ h_ _ _s and focus on the beauty your video showed. I summited Mt. Katahdan in Sept 2020 where I had over 30 individuals crying with me as I held a sign "DEL461 - Hiked 2,193 miles on the Appalachian Trail for the 461 Marines in his Vietnam unit that were killed." I honestly miss the friends I made, and the beauty you showed.

    Excellent :). The kinship is something unparalleled like the trail itself. Reminds me of when I worked a summer in Yellowstone (1996) and met people very dear to me that I'll most likely never see again. It's good to keep yourself cognisant of your own journey. This way, you'll never get lost.

    They didn't take that one and let her make it to the end cause she's built like a boy covered in tattoos and lost the genetic lottery. But she will influence other idiots like her to do the same thing, so they don't think they are losers "chained to money and luxury" if they don't risk their lives hiking in national parks. What's next? Climbing the Everest, just because you feel you can? The fact they got Jennifer Lawrence to narrate this proves there's a lot of people and sponsors behind this piece of advertising or propaganda?

    As a very inflexible male I found this very helpful and easy to follow along with, I still could not 100% perform the poses but felt that your instructions gave me something useful even when I could only partially perform the stretch. Which is refreshing because I have found most stretching videos assume a baseline which I can't meet. But this did not overwhelm me and I was able to complete the video with modified positions

    • @jls935
