00:04 - 00:11Step two of the B2C Fitness lateral leg release progression is vastus lateralis.
00:11 - 00:16So we've already released the TFL either in previous workouts, or in this workout, and
00:16 - 00:21now we're going to go after those trigger points that reside in this large muscle that
00:21 - 00:28is tight, with either the lumbo pelvic hip complex turns anteriorly, or lower leg turns
00:28 - 00:29out.
00:29 - 00:31I'm going to have Rick step in to help us demonstrate.
00:31 - 00:37So, before we went after the TFL, which was this little bit of muscle up here, now we're
00:37 - 00:42going to go after vastus lateralis, so he's going do a search of this whole area of the
00:42 - 00:47muscle from just below this bony notch here to just above his knee, find the most tender
00:47 - 00:48point, and hold it.
00:48 - 00:52I'm going to have you go ahead and demonstrate that, Rick.
00:52 - 00:54This tends to be a very tender area for people,
00:54 - 00:58so you're going to want to start with a foam roll, or possibly even two foam rolls
00:58 - 01:04to disburse the amount of tension within that muscle before you would even think about progressing
01:04 - 01:10on to a medicine ball, and very rarely somebody gets released enough or relaxed enough that
01:10 - 01:12they could use a softball.
01:12 - 01:19Once again, Rick can roll forward and back, as well as up and down to try and find that
01:19 - 01:22point, once he does, 30+ seconds, or until he finds a release.
01:22 - 01:24Thank you.
