Mulțumesc frumos pentru exerciții fizice România

Great five yoga stretches namaste 🙏

I like all of them except windshield wipers, which torques the back too much ( aggravates my T11/12 compression).

Just tried it and received more flexibility in my left hip just where I needed it! Thank you!

I've been suffering with a quite painful left hip after years of cycling and squash playing and have found your video amazing to help alleviate the symptoms. Ps. I couldn't help noticing that you have one amazing physique! Respect

Great stuff , jumped on RU-vid this morning looking for hip stretches before training legs and I found you, fantastic, thank you for posting.

I love it that you give the modified form for those who are not able to do the complete stretch.

Thanks for the help and the overhead shots to help with how my body is supposed to turn. You make it look easy and inspire me.

These exercises have really helped relieve my painful hips. Thank you.

Pacing and clarity of the speech and also the visual illustration of movement were really are helpful in understanding the proper form. Alternative movement options, encouraging and positive attitude are icing on the cake. 👍🏼

Recouping from ankle reconstructive surgery in Dec..still struggling (73 yrs) but doing the best I can. Love to do these before I get out of bed Thank you!

I compliment how professional your videos are edited, thank you for recording a side and overhead view so that we can perform the stretches properly. I am trying to get back into being active and tight stiffness in my hips is what I want to alleviate this year.

Thank you so much for showing alternative exercises for those of us with limited reach/movement! Much appreciated🙏🏾 Loosening my hips is my pledge to myself this year, and watching your videos for how to do this painlessly is such a help😌

Side camera angle is making it hard to really grasp how i should properly do the stretch. Legs should be in front of the camer(giggity)

Thank you. I really like a previous comment saying their pledge to themselves this year is loosening their hips… I’m following their lead! A beginning to some much needed self care. Thanks for the informative versions of each exercise with different angle shots! Very helpful x 🙏

Whew. This relieved a lot of tension/soreness in my lower back even though it was for hips. (Maybe it was my hips all along haha). Thank you for your videos! :) You are really great at explaining how to move and making sure you accommodate people at different levels. It makes it really customizable and you can find out how you are feeling each day you do it and what is comfortable for you. I enjoy it. 😊

What a friendly lady with gorgeous legs. Useful stretches!

Ignore the negative comments. Some people don’t appreciate your service to the community. Don’t change anything. You did wonders for my stiffness and blood circulation. 💖💖💖

Thanks Dr Kristie - your videos have helped with my stiffness and improved blood flow. Keep it up!

Just found your video today and definitely hit the thumbs up and subscribe button. This made me feel better immediately. Thanks ! PS you are in amazing shape! Congratulations❤

All of these are helpful. Thanks for showing the different angles of how to do the exercises.

Hey doc, I have bone spurs on the inner aspect of both hips so do you have any suggestions as to how to get rid of that pain with exercise?? I would love to do some of the moves you do. Thank you in advance.

Thank you for taking the time to upload this. It has really helped.

thank you. i am 18 and have the worst hip pain. ill be do this one alot.

I just found you this week dr. Kristie. I appreciate you so much. I will have to work up to a few of these. Sending this video into my saved file. Sending many blessings.

Definitely gonna try that. I’m a driver and my hip is always bothering me. Always one side though. Thank u for your videos.

Watch out! I did some very similar exercises as prevention, now I have a pinched nerve in my hip and have been suffering for months. Go easy.

Thank you. But somebody like me with a spinal fusion cannot do any type of twisting action because it just increases the pain.

Good morning Dr my hip pain is worsening for past 6 yrs I done these excercise but it agrevate pain and inflammation I feel pain by doing streches after some time do u suggest me do this excercises , one more doubt iam having mild l4- l5, -S1 nerve compression it may cause hip flexors pain and stiffness, pls clarify my doubt dr

Thank you for these videos and help. I really appreciate your time and effort in making and publishing these.

Thank you so much for these stretches and I'm happy to say I was able to do all of them without the variations and feel loser.

Best video I've seen on hip stretches. I had total hip replacement and wound up with tightness on that side. Will work at these stretches to see if I can't even things up.

Really enjoy your instruction, energy, and attitude. Gets my morning off to a great start.

The piriformis stretch modification was a game changer for me.

These exercises always work for me, too. Thank you, Dr. K. Very helpful.

Thank you very much ❤for helping me and my tight hips 😢

Thanks a lot. This was very needed for me, I realized with the things I do on a daily that I rely mostly on moving things from one spot to the other in my household and I've come to a conclusion that the main issue is my hips surprisingly. I am very grateful I have stumbled upon your video.

I've just tried this for the first time as my hips ache and are tight and this has worked. Thank you for making me in less pain. I will be making these part of my everyday routine now xx

Sooo helpful. Seeing the series is important, too.

I love to watch your videos. Especially the top view is really good. I love it!

Ima kickboxer these streches really get my headkicks higher and more powerfull thanks.

Thank You for these movements. They really get the job done when it comes to making tight hips become loose.

These were great! I love the Frog Bridge. Thank you so much.

what kind of nutrition helps with flexibility? what kind of protien, veggies, fruits, vitamins, minerals?

I do exactly the first two, five in a.m.so and others in gym🤸🏾.😊 Great stuff. 👏🏾

Thanks a lot,Dr.Ennis.Significant relief in my hips.

Hi I've a cracking in my left hip and I don't know why

I’ve done these exercises +more almost every day, for over 10 years. Before I get out of bed in the morning or when I can’t sleep. I’m 77 and I think I’m more flexible than most in my over 50 chair-fit class.

Thanks for sharing this Stretching Routine 🙏✌️❤️

Was legitimately looking for hip stretch videos. Ended up stretching a different part of body instead

Thank you for these excellent exercises, i have been looking for relief since I hurt my thigh muscle after carrying a too heavy backpack

I love the idea of the strap and your alternative I did I’m gonna try these. I have bone on bone right knee Pain in a previous fractured repaired not replaced left hip. I’m so glad I found this. Thank you.

I like your exercises it will help my sciatica nerve .

I trashed my hips working 40 years working in the food service industry. Heavy lifting. Standing on cement floors.

Great advice for this painful condition.

The camera angles/editing is so helpful.

Am struggling to sit comfortably on the back of my husband’s motorbike these days, I’m thinking these exercises could be the answer- thank you 🙏 ❤

Thank you beautiful Dr.Ennis❤

I’m so happy I came across your video Thank You so much for also showing modifications for the hip stretches as well as showing us an overhead view so we know exactly how to do them and not left wondering 🤗😊

I time into your videos and just listening to your soothing voice puts my mind at ease not to mention that you are a beautiful lady from head to feet and toes.

That's second exercise "happy baby".. more like happy husband. Anyways, thanks I will definitely add this to my routine.

THANKS DR. K ❤ ANOTHER HELPFUL VIDEO. I FELT WONDERFUL AFTERWARDS.

You are doing a good job great show thank you very much 😊

Thanks, Dr. Ennis! Definitely a tighter area for me... These will be great! 😊

thank you so much, this vid helps me😊❤️

Great video! Thank you, Question: After age 55, will we have to do theses stretches forever? Up until recently, stretches weren’t necessary. (Oh, the good ol’ days!)

Fantastic muscle definition and great stretching for the hips flexors

I enjoy your personality! Your energy compels me to want to get up and move!🎉❤

I love that she has firm muscles but doesn't look like a man with huge manly muscles. 🎉❤

Piriformis Stretch helps me the most. Thanks

Mam. . i feel pain in my right hip back of right thigh and calf muscle when i walk. . . please guide me what should i do. . . . .

Hopeful my relaxed butterfly will escape its cocoon soon!

Thank you so much you are so nice to help people! And you have a beautiful body.

Having the right to do athing does not make it right to do. I remove the inconsiderate guys from my youtube suggestions.

Do not do this if you had recent hip replacement

Kristie, can I always do my bridges like this - with heels together and knees dropping outwards? I find it more comfortable. X

I have a hip pain and a back problem and these streches is a effective i felt on my first time doing it thank you so much and your instructions are very clear

both my knees went out when i did a bridge there is NO WAY i will do the 3rd

I appreciate your sharing different ways of becoming more flexible. I have been doing some variations of these for some time but enjoy seeing slightly different ones from a professionals point of view and experience. Happy Toledo too you.

How do you not have any cellulite at all?

I am 71 and this is a great way to loosen up .

Needed this so much - Thank you!!!

the happy baby position surprised me. didnt know my gurl could do that LMAO. (the girls that know.. know...)

💖Very Beautiful💖

I just did these and will keep on it. Thank you for this!

After doing the last stretch, the butterfly, even supported on both sides...it was painful to walk and I could hardly make a step. My groin felt very limited and I was in excruciating pain. What is going wrong?

Wow thanks. My hips and lower back can be tricky and this seems gentle but effective enough.

Thanks for the helpful videos! However, for some reason, I cannot download them. Can anyone tell me why the videos cannot be downloaded?

If I have a tilted hip with one leg 'appearing' longer than the other, should I fix that issue first or will I still get some benefit from these five? Many thanks

Well I feel great after watching this video with a little bit of KY jelly.

Thank you! I can feel the relief of stiffness and stress on my hip as soon as I have done several moves in your film. Wonderful!❤

Unfortunately if your hips are tight you can't do these exercises, it's far to painful and too tight. I've tried.. 😕

I do not know mam where did I go wrong but I did some leg raising , leg stretches sidewise and I have been suffering with sever outer hip , groin and back pain on the left side .. my entire left side of the trunk portion got effected badly . Because of which something went wrong in my abdomen on the left side which I don’t understand When I eat food I feel my tummy has been pushed to the left side and feel as if I have a rock there .. I cannot effort to go to doctors .. have been suffering since 2020 😭😭😭

Wow thank you so much I am a dance instructor and doing these exercises really helps me as I am 50 plus 💖💖🙏🙏💖💖😊😊

Thanks for the alternative exercises, and your top looks cool !!!

Can I do this 2x a day? I find when I go to work, after a few hours I’m in pain. Would this help prior?

Thank you for the information. I really appreciate this. Helps a lot. Sincerely R.

Great exercises! Thank you.
