  @ Ottersocks

  I've been working with the Dara Torres DVD for a couple of weeks now and it's really great! I have one question though that I'm hoping you can answer for me. Why do they demonstrate a quad stretch in the opposing muscle groups section, but then not use it in the actual workout? Without that stretch, it seems like I'm stretching every muscle group in the legs except the quads.

  Thanks!

  Hey kasanya,

  I'm not sure I ever noticed that, too funny. You're right of course, you do need to stretch your quads as part of the full series. The quads balance the medial hamstrings and oppose the lateral hamstrings.. Generally I have people do the full series of 8 leg stretches every time they stretch, You just never know what balancing or opposing muscle is standing in your way!

  Hope this helps.
