I am 76. The initial test indicated I could only get one third down my shins. After doing one round of the exercises, I could bend down to touch my ankles. That is a huge improvement. Thank you.

I am 65 yrs old. I've been practicing yoga for most part of my life and not been able to touch the floor for last 2 decades - I've been 3 inches off from my toes. With just my first round of your active movements, I was able touch the floor!

@@MrIsh007i just want to say i have cured my nerve pain unintentionally, i was seeing a dentist, and because of my teeth pain, he asked me to take antibiotics in the butt, i took it in the side of the nerve pain, i felt like a tough ball in my butt for 15 minutes, then the pain has gone, now a week later i still don't feel any pain.

@johne808 Год назад

I’ve always wondered why stretching my upper body feels good but stretching my lower body is so painful. Your comments about the nerves sounds like I finally have an answer. Thank you.

I have constant pain in my lower back. It's gone, for now at least. Oh, and I managed to touch the floor ^^ This is one of those RU-vid videos that take just a few minutes to watch but might end up having a ridiculously disproportionate amount of positive impact on your life. Going to keep doing this, thank you!

@healingh2o Год назад

I am in my 60s and though I could touch my toes in my 20s, over the years due to sitting at the desk job lost that ability. After many decades after doing stretching exercises as demonstrated by you, i managed to touch my toes! ❤❤❤

@markzambelli Год назад

I'm 51 and have been aiming to touch my toes (haven't been able to for decades) so I've just followed what you've outlined above (but I also did 20 calf stretches also). What an improvement! I struggled a bit with the hip raising portion and I noticed my leg-raises weren't that great but that'll improve no doubt. At the start, my fingertips got to about 13-14 cm (bit over 5 inches) from the floor but when I tested myself after I could get down to around 7 cm (bit under 3 inches) with exactly the same straight legs and tightness in my lower hamstrings / upper calves... wow. I'm going to add this advice of yours into my daily routine and hope to see incremental improvements... my toes have nowhere to hide! Thankyou.

@robdrenningpt Год назад

Love it, keep going!! 👍

@silosoft Год назад

Yippee, me too. Without this „trick“ I only got my fingers down to about 20cm (metric system rules 😊) above the floor, after one practice there were only 10cm left, and after a 2nd practice I finally got down to the floor - maybe the first time in my life after I was older than 10 years or so.

I've had pain doing a forward bend for decades since a car accident at 16yrs old. After just following along to this video and doing only the first exercise, I went from reaching 4 inches above the floor to touching the floor with all fingers. Wow! I'm going to keep practicing too. Thank you!

worked like magic. I used to be able to place my palms completely flat on the ground in my early 20's. Once I started a career which involves only sitting on a desk in front of a computer, i completely lost the ability to touch my toes over the years. I have been practicing yoga regularly for the last 20 years, but could never touch my toes. After the first exercise, I was able to very comfortably touch my toes. I will add these stretches to my regular routine. Thank you.
