Thx Kelly after reading Ben greenfield book beyond endurance i started these mobility routines! I got my wife to join in, she was reluctant as she was waiting for chiropractor appointment as she has really sore hips. After doing a few of your routines she was pain free for the first time in weeks. She started crying within the joy. I reckon it will get our sex life up and running again, so it a big thumbs up from my also.
I have Ankylosing Spondylitis which is a type of Arthritis that targets the overall spine, with a ton of pain also targeted in the glute region and other joints. I can say after two days of doing these exercises, I have a way better understanding of how to control the inflammation through mobility work, plus... nutrition of course! Thank you so much Kelly! There needs to be more of you out there, this is such basic stuff, but so crucial to human function. Also check out Ido Portal if you've never heard of him, he is a movement genius and practitioner.
It has helped with inflammation tremendously which is my focus. On top of that though, I have much better energy levels and mental clarity. I started with Paleo but now Bulletproof Diet. Check out Bulletproof Diet by Dave Asprey, it is the highest performance diet I have found to date, he covers everything regarding proper nutrition. Good luck! This is not an endorsement btw, I am just spreading the awareness.
Okay thanks for the response! I will check it out, I've heard of bulletproof coffee already which i think is similar diet. Im on day 4 of the paleo and waiting to feel the better energy. My concentration is less intense but I'm waiting for over 10 days to get used to it :)
Nice! Keep it up :) When I first did it I went 30 days squeaky clean paleo, literally no gluten, dairy, processed sugars, legumes, etc, which I am currently doing again to re access my bad eating habits. You will feel the energy improvement and clarity within 2 weeks.
@DamienStrength When I was doing Martial Arts, my hamstrings were always my tight portion, so I think if you started here, your hamstrings and hip capsules wouldn't be the limiting factor in your high kicks. You'll need to do the "informed freestyling" to find out what is bothering you, but that's just my opinion. One of his recurring themes is the "Contract/Relax" stretching, witch I've found to be awesomely effective in building range of motion.
You should get a collection, golf ball, hockey ball ect. This give you options when treating your nasty bits. Remember don't make the pain face. The pain cave is your place of zen.
how often should you do these stretches and when would start noticing results? I feel I have tight hips and ankles and have been looking at a ton of your videos to help me loosen up. I play a lot of sports and workout and feel this will help tremendously!
How often should you run through all off this, daily basis or every other day ? Also how often should you use the lacross ball to break up the tight tissues?
excellent job demonstrating all these movements and stretches in a nice short format! (caffeine much?) ;] do you always recommend a tennis ball for trigger points, or can I go with something as firm as a rubber ball? I find the tennis balls has a tendency to scrunch into itself with the hamstring/glute areas and anywhere else with dense muscle. great job, thanks again
As you start stretching and releasing, could it be the case that you have weak muscles which may result in joint pain ? I have been stretching and releasing for maybe 3 weeks now. I'm getting loose and loving it. But recently I'm experiencing knee pain where I haven't before. I can't recall doing any damage or micro injuries. Any advice ? Could it be just a result of a change in alignment, which pain is a necessary process? Thanks. :)
Hey Kelly! Loving this video. On the THIRD (3rd) stretch you show, my left side where my TFL, glute medius/ITB band is really tight and feels like my TFL is running over some bands. in my hip area. do you know what helps this? Or what is happening? Ive been looking around everywhere and can't really find anything! This stretch helps, but there's that grainy feeling of bands rolling over or muscles or whatever it is. On my right side there's nothing of that matter, just a good stretch. why is this only on my left? what is it?!
hey kelly, how can I work on ankle mobility without a band, and other stretches come to mind? I feel like that is what hinders my squat the most, my left rear calve... started to bother me after some 4 second pause squats at the end of my heavy triple day.Thanks man!
@KStarr Maybe Day three could be a culmination of the "Executive Stretching Series" for the Cubicle Warriors crossed with Gymnasts wearing Body Armor..
Thank U Sir, for educating me as I embark upon this Crossfit journey. I've got a question for U Sir: how to regain flexibility & mobility for the over 40 crowd? Are the stretches any different for age groups?
Did you know that it is not just the athlete, military guy or professional "whatever". What you are talking about is just what an average human being "should" do to maintain a pain free lifestyle? I am wondering if you are just targeting the few when what you say actually applies to anyone who is alive.
Just revisiting & it’s still great 👌🏽😁🙏🏽

I love Kelly's style. What a cool dude.
Note to self: Knee ext noodling, pigeon pose, couch stretch, lunge hamstring stretch, runners calf stretch, abductor wall opening, seated glute roll
you are the best man..i felt a relief on my knee

Thanks for mentioning Ido Portal. He has interesting videos. Will check him out
Hey I'm a follower of Ido also :) I'm also studying physiotherapy and nutrition and was wondering how the Paleo diet (if your on it) has helped you?

Thanks, for all your great info. I will be watching your videos on a regular.
I'd start and end in squat position because thats untimately the position we want to improve most

+Drum ~ 'Hockey ball' lolol
The ultimate lower body mobility drill eat your heart out smashwerx!
Thanks Kelly, you are fantastic!!

Would love to spend a day or 2 with you Kelly. I would challenge your knowledge with my hips, Quads and hammys.
Im always as stiff and a light pole.
San Francisco cross fit....Chris French.
Ha- ha- this little boy giving any advice! Micro - pen- is !
3:13 to 3:33 ...excellent mobility drill! 👌🏼

4:40 "and then at some point... you've got to stick the ball into your butt"...delivery is important. ADD is fun though. LOL. Love KS!
It would be cool if you could show some mobilizations that you would do with athletes that do lots of high kicks (front, side,back...)!
Thank you again
Really good stuff
You da man Kelly!
Hey Kelly! Loving this video.
On the THIRD (3rd) stretch you show, my left side where my TFL, glute medius/ITB band is really tight and feels like my TFL is running over some bands. in my hip area. do you know what helps this? Or what is happening? Ive been looking around everywhere and can't really find anything! This stretch helps, but there's that grainy feeling of bands rolling over or muscles or whatever it is. On my right side there's nothing of that matter, just a good stretch. why is this only on my left? what is it?!
The lower extremity basic list: Kelly Starrett, would I do this list in order? I’m trying to unlock my hips. They are extremely tight
Listen to what he said: mobilize with intent. There is no set list for mobility, work on what you need.
hey kelly, how can I work on ankle mobility without a band, and other stretches come to mind? I feel like that is what hinders my squat the most, my left rear calve... started to bother me after some 4 second pause squats at the end of my heavy triple day.Thanks man!
@KStarr

He says studies show they need to be held at least 2 minutes to start effecting change.
Very helpful THANK YOU ...
You've gotta be mobile to do his mobility work.....any problems with that?
I bet you would be good at brazilian jiu jitsu. Great vids.
Hmmm...anyone know if he got the conjugate method from louis simmons
looks great but with a herniated disc and leg sciatica ,,,,????I wonder is it safe??
How'd you get a herniated disc??
Thank U Sir, for educating me as I embark upon this Crossfit journey. I've got a question for U Sir: how to regain flexibility & mobility for the over 40 crowd? Are the stretches any different for age groups?
nope
Why lateral hamstrings (biceps femoris)? Why do they tend to be more tight then the other hamstrings?
The biceps femoris has the short head that is only involved in knee flexion, so it is really affected and shortened if you sit a lot.
What to do with hip Impingment/fai?
Awesome
Sir Kelly Starrett
un poco de español por favor muy buenos videos
You showed everything to quickly.. Relax I'm learning
Like that
Beautiful stuff fantastic flexibility for a big guy
