So true . I could never touch my toes with my legs straight. There is another short where he explains in more details. Did that for a like 5 days and now i can do that so easily. I m shocked
@@mariamariafujoshiinurarea2524 I am failing at doing it right because I always hear somethign clickingor popping in my right knee and my backs hurt after doing it
This works even better if you understand what it is you are doing. It is difficult or impossible to stretch your muscle if it is under tension. When you do this, put all your weight on your bent leg and focus on gently stretching the side with the straight leg. I find that trying/pretending to lift the heel of my straight leg off the floor ensures that I am putting little to no weight on the muscles on that side.
Omg I am shocked to see it works instantly!! After doing this I could reach more closer to my feet than earlier, only thing my back hurts, but I guess it would be fine with consistent practice!! Thank ya!! ❤️❤️
I had my doubts, then I just tried it, had to find this video again to confirm IT DOES WORK, I was maybe 4 or 5 inches away at first, then after this stretch (with a bit of pain) I was able to touch my toes! This man is a legend , take his advice seriously
Woah this actually works!! Most stuff i see about flexibility instantly doesnt work And i like how you mentioned its temporary because even people who can do splits can lose that ability after a long period of time without stretching
Holy shit this works! Before I did this I could only touch midway from my knees to my shins. After doing this is could touch the tip of my ankle socks! Will be doing this every day until I touch my toes thank you!
What in the world? This actually worked for me lol. I usually have the tightest hamstrings where if I reach to touch my toes, I have about a 10 inch distance to close. But doing this for 20 reps instead of 10 reps helped me touch the toes. I am shocked lol
Hey there, great tip and content, it's been really useful to try and explore my limits, but in doing so, I got a question: I've been doing calisthenics for a while now, but as I progress I find it my lack of flexibility more and more limiting. Past injuries also add to my stiffness, since I suffered a disk herniation in my mid-low back about 1 year ago. I've been wondering if there is a well defined set of stretches I could follow to slowly improve? Preferably something I could stich to my already existing workout plan or something that takes around 15 min for quality stretches that can be done anywhere. Any leads are welcome!
Theres a "trick" that some people say that works that is... Basically... Flexing ur quads for something like 30 or 20 secs and then trying stretching again... They say it makes u go further
Hi, David! Could you please create a video about stretching the hip flexors and psoas muscle? I actually can touch my toes, but I don't know how to stretch hip flexors and psoas muscle. 🙏👍❤️
I’ve been doing it for a few days, it does work very well. I can touch my toes cold but only for a few seconds, after doing this Its alot more comfortable and I can even touch the floor
Something similar to this, I was shown 10 years ago: instead of doing 'all the single ladies', the trick was to turn on the spot a couple of times, and turn the other way to stop the dizzy. I probably works the same way, just a bit less efficient than this 😅
When I stretch, I get progress during the stretching routine. When I stretch the next day I feel like I have never stretched. I always feel like I’m starting from zero.
I've been doing it this way (but I was often bouncing) for as long as I remember and it always worked. But people told me it is not a right way and that a different way is better so I never commited to doing that regularly. I thought I was broken that it worked
I'm close to a foot from not being able to touch my toes. How can you tell the difference between short hamstrings and really tight hamstrings. I cycle alot and sit alot
