Step two of the B2C Fitness lateral leg release
00:00:0400:00:11
progression is vastus lateralis.
00:00:1100:00:16
So we've already released the TFL either in previous workouts, or in this workout, and
00:00:1600:00:21
now we're going to go after those trigger points that reside in this large muscle that
00:00:2100:00:28
is tight, with either the lumbo pelvic hip complex turns anteriorly, or lower leg turns
00:00:2800:00:29
out.
00:00:2900:00:31
I'm going to have Rick step in to help us demonstrate.
00:00:3100:00:37
So, before we went after the TFL, which was this little bit of muscle up here, now we're
00:00:3700:00:42
going to go after vastus lateralis, so he's going do a search of this whole area of the
00:00:4200:00:47
muscle from just below this bony notch here to just above his knee, find the most tender
00:00:4700:00:48
point, and hold it.
00:00:4800:00:52
I'm going to have you go ahead and demonstrate that, Rick.
00:00:5200:00:54
This tends to be a very tender area for people,
00:00:5400:00:58
so you're going to want to start with a foam roll, or possibly even two foam rolls
00:00:5800:01:04
to disburse the amount of tension within that muscle before you would even think about progressing
00:01:0400:01:10
on to a medicine ball, and very rarely somebody gets released enough or relaxed enough that
00:01:1000:01:12
they could use a softball.
00:01:1200:01:19
Once again, Rick can roll forward and back, as well as up and down to try and find that
00:01:1900:01:22
point, once he does, 30+ seconds, or until he finds a release.
