Well worth listening all the way through at least once but bookmarking for quick reference 2:00 elephant walk 30 reps 3:42 single leg hip hinge +/- weight, 8 reps per leg 5:36 high kicks (reciprocal inhibition) 12 reps per leg 6:46 raised split leg forward fold (I made up the names of the last 3 😅)
Thank you so much, the last few days it's felt like my hamstrings were just getting tighter and tighter, and my lower back was hurting more and more. Yesterday I tried these stretches and the nerve glide you show in another video, and today I feel so much better 😭
I second that! A practical video with light music and some guidance would be amazing. How often should we do this stretching to get best results and morning or evening? Thanks, love your channel! ❤
You are an incredible instructor! Everything is easy to understand, you get quickly to the point, and it’s actually easy to follow! My favorite mobility channel for sure
This video is excellent! Not only are the stretches great, the movements/progressions, and the way you explain things, with links to other videos is outstanding. Liked, saved and now my go-to for my hamstrings. Thank you!
You have given us wonderful information. Thank you so much. For me, I will simply stick to one hamstring stretch, the forward bend, and hold that stretch for a longer duration, like two minutes.
Your friendly and professional explanations make it easier to do the exercises correctly and achieve the best results. That's what makes your exercises so helpful. Thank you so much ❤️
reciprocal inhibition is BY FAR the most effective mobility exercise for my hamstrings. Doing it just for 60s can improve my fingertip-to-floor distance by 10cm or even more
I have a HUGE request for you: Can you make a video: "How to: Pancake?" There are countless videos about exercises like "Cossack Squats" or "Standing Pancake", which I can easily do if done correctly. But when I'm down on the ground, just sitting on a straddle, the adductors immediately go into painful protective tension, even though I've been specifically training the adductors for months. Thank you very much for your sooooo valuable work. Thanks to you, I managed to cross the bridge for the first time. ✌
Thank you for this video. Only found this channel a few days a go. Explained brilliantly. Will definitely give this a go. My problem is I have fibromyalgia, every part of my body is stiff and in pain, I don't really know which one your videos I should start with. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
I have similar issues and I feel like Liv's videos are accessible to pretty much everyone as long as you work within your tolerance threshold and accept that you will likely have to work at a slower pace and for longer than people who don't have these issues to get results. It's a patience game, do what you can to enjoy the journey as much as possible :)
Fibromyalgia flares are better rested or with a bit of walking, mild stretching if possible than trying to force the body. When already in pain, it's hard to tell if it's from muscle, ligaments or nerves. Take this time to nurture your body with healthy foods. I suffered with it for 25yrs & rested on days I couldn't do anything else..it's been in remission, so I started regular exercises 2mo ago. It's possible to see big improvements in a short but consistent time. Never overdo. Be careful & go slowly like she's beautifully demonstrated & with patience will come flexibility ♥️
Just watched several of your videos and love the way you explain things. The thing is, there are so many videos, I don’t know where to start. What do you recommend as a good starting point for a 70+ year old unfit female?
So pleased to find a sretching ,flexibility would love to lay stretch legs to the side and lay forward like a pancake ivtried the hyperbolic stretching program but got bored i think variety is better xxx
How many times should one do this routine per week? And how to manage it with my intense leg days? Should I do this routine a day before my leg day? OR On leg day before workout? OR On leg day after workout? OR Avoid on leg day?
Hi Liv, can you do a tutorial on reverse prayer pose - I can get my palms to meet behind my back facing downward but not upwards - what am I doing wrong ?😢
I’m 53 and started my flexibility journey at the age of 50. I’m more flexible than I’ve ever been in my life. Men… we are less flexible than women in general because we focus on strength. Strengthen by lengthening and you’ll be surprised w a new lease on life 💪🏼
Impossible for me. I need a chair for the first exercise.... And I feel my knees are ripping apart. Nothing else hurts. Except the backside of my knees (the literally feel like the rip apart). Is that normal? And the third exercise (the kicks) just hurts too xD Conclusion: I can't do none of this :(
maybe bring your hands up to your knees, or even higher. It'll burn at the back of your knees at first as that's the hamstring stretch, but it'll get easier if you practice every day!
This is almost certainly nerve pain, I get the same thing. Highly recommend watching the "Ignoring this will WRECK Your Flexibility" video pointed to in the video and linked in the description.
This is genuinely the best channel I've come across for real functional results
Yes right
I agree 💯

I’m a physiotherapist and here to say THIS IS THE BEST AND MOST EFFECTIVE HAMSTRING STRECHING combo out there!
Thank you sis!
Your channel is gold you’re absolutely brilliant. Thank you
Hi! Could we have another flexibility routine video that we can follow along, with just music?❤ I benefitted a lot from your last video!
Huge
This! I find it so much easier to follow along

you are the best source of knowledge on stretching. Thanks for sharing.
It definitely gets so confusing and complicated when there's so much information out there. Thank you so much for cutting through all that!

Your puppers in the background is always neat. I'm going to do this routine to warm up for softball this eve. Thanks.

thank you for this very good video! plz give a best hip flexor stretches video!🙏🏻
This is one of the best channels
❤❤❤❤ Thanks so much
Thank you so much for all your super-practical flexibility exercises and progressions ❤
Should we do the nerve flossing from the other video before doing theses stretches?
Thank you for that contagious energy ❤
The Elephant Walk really worked for me. Easy to do while the kettle boils, so it gets done often. Sometimes do the high kicks.
Are you not gonna do yoga anymore? I really like your yoga videos❤
Super Video!

OR
On leg day before workout?

Very stiif hammies. Had trouble walking the last year after running many years. Can't get my leg very high!
Good stuff
I'm just here to see the fluffy dog...
Same
Tried one of these stretch after a leg workout, now I’m dead 😭
Can you make a video please how to put legs behind the head 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Usally when I do these stretches I feel my calfs more than my hamstrings. My flexibility improves but very slowly.
THE FORST ONE GOT ME DOWN AN INCH LITERALLY
Thanks for those exercices with the number of reps, it's perfect to train at work during the break xD
what kind of stretches do I have to do to make sparkles come out of my hands when making a youtube video
🔥🔥🔥
is it normal that I feel these stretches behind my knees?
I have lower back issues since I was a kid. Im 26 and its still there. Thats why I cant do splits
Impossible for me. I need a chair for the first exercise.... And I feel my knees are ripping apart. Nothing else hurts. Except the backside of my knees (the literally feel like the rip apart). Is that normal? And the third exercise (the kicks) just hurts too xD

The pain behind your knees could be a result of your hamstrings.
maybe bring your hands up to your knees, or even higher. It'll burn at the back of your knees at first as that's the hamstring stretch, but it'll get easier if you practice every day!

@@kayelle8005 i don't know if it's hamstring or nerves :(

I tried this, but every time I got to the "before" position, I farted so loud my windows rattled. 😢
It's 8:30 a.m, I'm in my garage stretching out my pain, see this comment at the top and laugh. My. Ass. Off. 😂
