It's crazy how adaptable the body is, I'm 20 now and I've never been able to touch my toes with straight legs before. I watched some of your videos and gave it a shot, did some hamstring exercises for about four days and now I can touch my toes! Honestly made me super happy and proud of myself, even though it was fairly minimal effort 😅
Really makes me think if all that can be achieved with "minimal" effort, why not push the bar and attain results even further beyond? One of these days, imma start doing some streching as a daily routine...
"you should be feeling this in your hamstrings" Me "There's a sharp pain in the back of my knees" "You're wrong" Is the conversation I have had my whole life 😂
Something I really really appreciate is that you give time goals. "You'll see results in less than a month" helps give a realistic time frame for something that many people don't have a clear picture of.
I do favor my left, broke my left femur which stimulated the growth plates, it has since also picked up the slack, not to say it hasn't caused a bit of pain but it is now well adjusted to a high degree of work, also naturally lefty so I'm a strong southpaw in boxing, baseball and futball
Flexibility and core strength is so pivotal in exercise and being physically fit lol. Like it's insane. I went from fat to skinny to average-ish and now I'm noticing how undeveloped my legs are both in mobility and general strength. So I take part in soft martial arts now and am learning to split while strenghing my core and legs.
I’m freaking out. I’ve been trying since high school to touch my toes. I stretch every day and do some yoga. After watching this and doing it for a couple weeks, I CAN TOUCH MY TOES. For the last 30 years I thought I’m just not that flexible. You’re brilliant!!!
What the heck stretches have you been doing every day for 30 years? Sounds like you just never stretched your hamstrings out. The little dance move that he does isn't telling your brain anything. That's not how the brain works. It's just stretching your hams one ham at a time.
These videos have given me a completely different perspective on working out, it's not about losing weight, you don't need fancy equipment or intense work outs, no one is shamed for what level they're at or their body type, it's honestly amazing and it makes me so happy
@@toddinnatorizswagsimpson8073 He's dead. He tried to do it, and like a 2x4 when bent, he snapped. Broke his back, smashed his head on a ceramic sink, which cut him and left him unconscious. He bled out on the floor and died because he lives alone because he's an ex football player with no money stuck living in his college glory days, and no female could stand to be around him.
I needed this for straight leg raises & hanging straight leg raises. I always feel I'm not doing them right because of my tight hamstrings. Love this guy. 👍🏻👍🏻
As a dancer I often forget, that sitting up straight with your legs stretched out is not comfortable or even possible for a lot of people. I am usually reminded of it by the shocked look when I just randomly sit like that 😅
@@Eliqueme So true i have scoliosis (the sideways one idiopathic i believe, two 30 degree curves) and I was like wont that decrease my back flexibility or smth? they should score students wih scoliosis on like a different scale
@@Eliqueme I knew it about a year of having it but if figured it out at 16 its likely the major part of ur growth spurt has ended (2 years after your period if u are a girl) So ur curvature might have been pretty bad huh? unless if u have way better posture than me. but if not then that scoliosis impacted u a lot in pe
I must say. Ive been researching many types of fitness and strength training to figure out what i needed to do to achieve my goals. I realized i need a combo. Id like to be able to move and control my own body weight, like callethensics exercises do, callethensics also helps as it makes me feel my muscle groups are a bit more even instead of specifically isolating. I always worry if i isolate too much ill get disportionate. But i also realized that some of my muscles are capable of more weight, and the weakest link in the chain can hold back my exercises. Granted over constistent period that will even out, but i can also do isolated weight training on certain weaker muscles to make my callethensic moves more solid. And your flexibility videos have really shown me the importance of full range of motion. So im doing a combination of all 3. Stretching, weight training, callethensics, I thought itd be a lot harder to do 3 types. But ive found it much more possible than i thought. I used to think i had to basically kill myself in the gym to make progress, like if i wasnt crawling out of the gym i wouldnt make real progress. Now i understand that its about consistency, and not staying constant forever, but increasing the amount your staying consistent with. Thank you. Realistic fitness instructors like you have really made me rethink my perspective on fitness. And understand what truly is and isnt possible naturally.
Bro whenever I do the Sit and Reach for PE classes, my whole shit hurts hard af. It's feels like my muscles are gonna snap lmao. This is definitely helpful. Thank you so much!
What I like about this channel is that you teach them how to stretch better for whatever level they are currently at which is a lot less intimidating than some gym classes I've been in. It's nice
if you wanna target the hamstrings flatten ur back, if its rounded ur rather stretching the lower back. once you flatten ur back it goes into the hams. rounded back = disabled hamstrings
For me personally, I have a hard time sitting straight not because it hurts or I’m physically not able to, but because it feels weird to, like mentally
Thank you so much for this! I've been trying to do some yoga every day but was super confused as to why I couldn't sit up straight. I thought my posture was just bad.
I’m only 73 and I’ve never been able to sit like that! Still, I can do some stretches. My medical advisors told me to stretch but never to the pain level.
I tried the knee bend and it worked, i wasnt able to touch the ground and now yes... I tried further with the hole hand but wasnt possible without bending knees quite more but impressive indeed...
I can do it effortlessly since way before, even tho Im over my healthy weight. Kissing my knees while sitting, I can hold as long as I like without feeling hurt, so doing what you done is like a play child to me
My spine is basically always curved behind my belly, which also causes my belly to poke forward. I can put myself into a certain position that causes my lower back and abdomen to be straight and it causes my stomach to be flat, but it not a practical position to hold. Is this permanent due to genetics (my dad’s spine does this as well) or would stretching like this fix that?
My back is always aching. What can you recommend? My work is motorcycle delivery for about 8 hours daily. Hope you can recommend me some stretching techniques.
One of my favorite party tricks is when I'm wearing my five inch platform boots, I can touch the ground with both palms flat behind my heels. Nobody thinks the chubby alt chick did ballet for twelve years.
Ive consistently done stretches for up to 8 months straight (yes, dayly) multiple times over the years, but I barely get any results. ESPECIALLY in my hamstrings. I'm overall relatively stretchy, always have been, so it's not like I'm in bad shape. I just can't seem to improve. :/ I also get muscle craps all over my body almost constantly (few days ago was literally unable to stretch my arms cause the craps where that bad) and I'm pretty sure that might have something to do with stretches not working for me. I've tried numerous things to deal with this but nothing has really been working (only thing that has actually seemed to help was electro-therapy). If anyone reading this has any recommendations I'd be thankful to hear em. ;~;
I think its probly tight hip flexors that keep my lower back up off the floor. In reference to this stretch, i can get my elbows within inches of the floor lol

that's crazy, because it's "minimal effort" physically, but you need to have determination to do it everyday, so i would call that effort too xD
Really makes me think if all that can be achieved with "minimal" effort, why not push the bar and attain results even further beyond?
