OKay, this is kind of simple but if you're new to fitness, and if you are I'm so glad
you're here stay with me. If you're new to fitness you might not know what the names
of the muscles are and I don't want you to feel left out of the loop. Just quickly, let's
go over it. Okay? This big muscle right here, this is where I have this huge quadriceps
muscle so people always say, "Wow, you have great abs." I'm like, "Yeah but my." Anyways,
it's easy to see my quad. This is the quadriceps muscle right here. In through here is your
hip flexor. Anytime you're doing stuff like this, that's your hip flexor. That get's really
tight, it can cause you to be in this position so we want to make sure that we're aware of
stretching hip flexor. We come back here, your glute has a minimus, isn't that a funny
name for a glute? Yeah, right minimus. Minimus and maximus, that make more sense, right here
the meat of your butt. Big muscle doesn't matter if you're a skinny model type; your
muscle in your butt is still going to be bigger than a lot of the others. Then we go down
and we have a hamstring which attaches a the very top and goes all the way down. Here all
the way up, we want to get the entire muscle. That's you hamstring muscled. We have other
things that run along here we're not going to worry about that. Obviously, you probably
know your calf muscle here. You have a lower area and an upper area. Gastrocnem Soleus,
different ways to work it. For some of you, you might want to get your calf muscle a little
bit meatier. Right here, in the front is the shin. You've heard about shin splints, maybe,
that's where the shin is. Then, obviously, the rest of it is just sort of having an overall
picture of the upper leg, the lower leg, and your butt muscle. So, there you go. Quads,
hamstrings, and glutes, and calves and shins. That's basically your lower body.
