I'm a 41yo gym rat. Been lifting since 15. I started following you about a year back. And though I still cheat (don't stretch) at times. My quality of life has increased so much by just following some of your advice. I play better with my kids, I don't wake up stiff as a plank and just feel better over all! I sincerely hope you can get enough subs/views to make money on this. You deserve it! Much love from Sweden! ❤
I've always been able to do this, and can still do it at age 54. While I do stretch fairly regularly, increased mobility has never been my goal or reason for stretching. For me it's pain relief. If I don't stretch, tension gradually builds up in a body part, which eventually turns into a mild pain. To relieve the pain, I stretch. I'm glad to enter into old age with this habit that keeps me flexible and mobile.
Love this! I started stretching before & after EVERY workout. My stretching routine is about 5 mins and I do it 5 times a week x2 (before/after each gym session) and I feel great. I can move more freely and easily and just overall I’ve improved my mobility. I can hug my legs bending over and can place my palms flat on the floor. Before I could barely reach past my calves/ankles. It’s therapeutic for me now and I look forward to it 😃👍🏼
I’ve had so much pain in my body for most my life and when I decided to try stretching It changed my life forever. I believe everyone should stretch daily, it’ll save you a lot of suffering
Just got that 5x Baseline E- book. Im a wrestling coach just trying to keep up with these kids! Also going to have my wife do it with me. Im hoping some of this will help with her mid back pain. Thanks for creating this stuff!
You always have and will my respect and love, David! Thanks for everything.I'm a teen and I'm working out since summwr 2023. Flexibility was my weak point and i was weak in general, but thanks to you, i now can even touch the floor with my palms during hamstring stretch and go way further!!! Keep up, i love your content, mindset and positivity!!! ❤
I've been doing this inspired by your first short on that warm up movement, and it has genuinely helped so much! My hands used to barely get past my knees, and now I can touch my toes with only a slight bend in the knees! I recently started taking pictures and my legs are getting straighter and straighter every day when I attempt to touch my toes!
Hey David! Do you have a name/title for your fan base? Some ideas: - StayFlexy Fanatics ? - The Mobility Mob ? - David's Devious Disciples ? That's all I could think of. If a name already exists, or if anyone has any better suggestions, let me know below! Stay s̶h̶r̶e̶d̶d̶e̶d̶ flexy, brahs (and brahettes). We're all gonna make it. *************** Peace.
I started watching you a few weeks ago from a reel I saw and started doing stretches everyday and Holy crap the results already are wild. I've had chronically thigh hamstrings since I was a kid and this is finally an easy way I can manage it
Hey David! I just started your hamstring and posture programs, and I have a suggestion. You can make a small video of explaining every stretch briefly, cause photos are great, but I needed to google the correct technique for one leg RDL, for example, cause I felt I was doing something wrong. And thank you for all of your knowledge poured into us by your ebooks ❤ @MovementbyDavid
I tried these along with you. The deep stretch in the beginning that you can feel down to your ankle had me laughing aloud lol I was surprised. Subbed 👍. I wrecked my ankle and foot this year and had to undergo reconstructive surgery. I was stuck in a boot for months, and had to learn to walk on it again (your toes do so much!). I still have muscle atrophy, but it's getting better as my range of motion improves. I have been in PT for weeks, and all they have me do is 1 basic calf stretch with my foot on a block. Hold 30 seconds, switch to the "good foot", hold 30 seconds, and repeat x 3. I just need more than that lol 😇 Looking fwd to your channel! Many thanks! 🙃
Love your videos. I'd love a video series of a follow along stretching session. Like one for each day of the week. I see you have something on ganbaru, but I'd much rather pay for a set of videos (like the old days of buying exercise DVDs) rather than having an expensive monthly subscription. Either way, love the content. Hope you and your family are doing well.
All videos are about stretching a few minutes a day. I can stretch say 30 minutes a day while watching a TV show. Is this helpful or am I just wasting my time and energy?
I always get excited when you upload, I've been doing the small stretches for ankles you showed and I'm no where near your level of flexibility but I definitely do feel the deference
I don't believe that it's possible for everyone to touch their elbow to their toe. Surely it depends on the proportion of the person's body, i.e. how long are their legs compared to their upper body. Does that make sense?
My calves are always tight which impede my hamstring stretching. Why is theis the case. How can I best stretch my calves? and Thank You. just found your channel and I'm giving it a go...
David... The last two months i started practicing yoga 6-7 days a week for gaining flexibility and some strength. Do you think some extra stretches would be good? Or is it too much? P.s. ( I am a total beginner). I enjoy your videos so much. Thank you 🙏
I have been stretching daily for decades. With the myriad of back problems I’ve had over the years, daily stretching has helped keep me out of a wheelchair ♿️
How to get flexible hamstrings: - Tell your body that it is okay to stretch and relax 1. Keep you back perfectly flat, hinge from the hips 2. Bend one knee alternating each at a time to get deeper into the stretch 3. Do 10 30s hamstring stretches a week
when i‘m stretching my right leg the outside of my knee (google says it’s called medial collateral ligament or sth) starts to hurt and feel really uncomfortable. especially when ich just lay my legs flat up against a wall… any ideas what it could be or what to do? lots of love :)
I feel it's starting to work! I followed your recommendations and stretched almost daily for about a week or two and I was able to touch my toes with back relatively flat. Before I could reach about knee height without bending my back. I'm curious what is your opinion on Yin Yoga and does it offer any benefits that regular stretching doesn't?
I tried this. Did about 2.5 minutes to continue the stretch the same day. About 23 hours later, I had a HORRIBLE pain in my right leg (calf) that lasted for a few minutes. I think I tore something. Mostly things feel and work ok, but if my right leg is fully extended in even a bit of a stretch I start to feel the pain again. So be careful. And anyone have any idea if this is an actual tear?
I'm so inflexible, only started stretching and working out at 24 after growing up as a couch potato, and I've been trying to stretch my hamstrings and glutes daily to no avail, I can barely even straighten my legs. I hope what I learn from your videos will help save my life, because I need it
Hello, when I do the exercise I really do immediately touch my toes, its great.. but I dont feel tension in my hamstrings but more in quadriceps (just above the knee ) am I doing something wrong? :)
i want to train my body to be able to stretch where i can bring my legs up to my head (more of a question than a comment) how much stretching and what stretches would you recomend or is it like based on preference? p.s love seing your vids in my ytb shorts feed you got me into wanting to improve my body thank you
Question: does jogging before stretching help at all? My concussion pt wants me to do cardio and I'm trying to figure out when to do it. I was trying to be a weights person, but apparently being well-rounded matters or something
Can you make a video about that initial stretch at 1:00? After 1-3 reps of this, I feel a very intense stretch in the hamstrings and can't go any lower, so I can't help but think I'm probably doing it wrong. For example, when you bend one knee, the torso goes a little lower, then when you straighten that knee, do you try to keep that lower height, or do you go back to where you started from? And other mistakes/details like that. Thanks!
I am very very unflexible and its gotten to the point where it has started to hurt and affect my day to day life. I was wondering how long it would take to go from being able to touch my shins to being able to touch my toes, assuming I am staying consistent with 2-30 second holds 2-4 times a day. I know it isn't a one size fits all, but I am scared to start and I just need some additional input. Thank you.
I've never heard of an Ebook and wouldn't know how to access one! I'm 61 and didn't grow up with a computer in my hand! But I would love to able to do the splits
Unsure why this video was recommended to me. I already can reach to my toes and that is enough. However I might want to relearn how to a split and don't want to go any more further because I don't want to see my own butt up close... 💀
I went from reaching my shins to placing my hands flat on the ground comfortably. Thank you David❤️🔥
That's awesome! What was the timeline? I'm always curious
Amazing!!! Stay Flexy friend!
@@afregistry 2-3 weeks 👌🏽
Now you can start learning to fight like scorpion.
As soon as you get a face flamethrower.
What how do I start?

Watching your videos made me start stretching 5 minutes daily, and I've made great progress!
Let’s go!!!
instead of 2 sets of 20s stretches can do 3 sets or will it be worse@@MovementbyDavid
I'm doing the same after watching his videos. Thanks for the motivation David!

The general positive vibes of this guy make me feel like I will be able to do a full split in my first try

Alternative title: "have bones? Get rid of them."
I've been missing David, glad he's back in my feed
I did the hamstring ebook and gained so much flexibility in my hamstrings🎉
the only mobility channel i need
Just got that 5x Baseline E- book. Im a wrestling coach just trying to keep up with these kids! Also going to have my wife do it with me. Im hoping some of this will help with her mid back pain. Thanks for creating this stuff!
You motivated me to become more flexible over the summer and I can now comfortably touch my toes
Great lessons. You definitely taught me a lot!
Thank you
You always have and will my respect and love, David! Thanks for everything.I'm a teen and I'm working out since summwr 2023.

You're awesome David, thank you so much for this content it is incredibly helpful to so many!!
I can't believe how quickly this works!
First and second was no problem for my ok-ish trained 48y old me.
Waiting for the ambulance now after i tried the elbow thingy though.

Hey David!
Do you have a name/title for your fan base? Some ideas:
- StayFlexy Fanatics ?
- The Mobility Mob ?
- David's Devious Disciples ?
That's all I could think of.
If a name already exists, or if anyone has any better suggestions, let me know below!
Stay s̶h̶r̶e̶d̶d̶e̶d̶ flexy, brahs (and brahettes). We're all gonna make it.

Peace.
😂 I’ve said “Flexy Gang” in the past but I love these ideas. I should do a poll and get everyone’s votes!
"The Flexorcists". 😂 Keep up the amazing work David!! You're an inspiration!! 🎉👏🏾🌟😄😊
Thx, gonna add it to the end of my workout
MBD- link up with more BJJ guys if you can! You got a huge market within the bjj community cuz flexiblity and mobility is a must in bjj
On the way!

I’m going for the austin powers goldmember flexibility
I started watching you a few weeks ago from a reel I saw and started doing stretches everyday and Holy crap the results already are wild. I've had chronically thigh hamstrings since I was a kid and this is finally an easy way I can manage it
I'm here to stay Flexy!!😺
I just want to say thanks for everything you do. You've inspired me so much to where i stretch and do various things while i work.

Second this. Some of them I got, but others I feel I am guessing a little. It's still super helpful though.
I saw the thumbnail and thought to myself "Damn tree huggers" as I went to scroll by. But then I realized he looked familiar. "That ain't no tree!" 😂
Hah!! Maybe I should change the thimbnail to a more obvious pose 😂
Awesome technique

Thank you so much for this, can you do a video for internal rotation of hips and abductor stretches to internal hip mobility?
You and Hampton should collab yall got the same vibe🫡
this is so informative
freaking awesome!
I really like the twisting from side to side to improve the hamstring stretch. It really worked for me. Thanks David.
@movementbydavid what are thooose? But seriously cool shoes. Where to get them?
Love your videos man....having tennis elbow for around 2 month, any suggestion on relieving the pain or make it gone
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Your content is gold! educational and entertaining to watch

Can you plz make a video on lower back or all over back flexibility routine video... That would be so generous of you.. 😅

Why did you quit cooking? I really enjoyed some of your recipes.
I can't feel a stretch in my hamstring, it's always in my calf muscle.
Great video

That hamstring warmup thing let me touch the floor with my palms instead of just touching my toes!
What about 2 Sets of This Daily.

Everybody goes to this guy if they need to stretch
sry if bothersome but i dig your pants and shirt bro - may i ask where you bought them?
Shirt is from Target and the pants are from Hollister
At 37, I need to start doing these things
when i‘m stretching my right leg the outside of my knee (google says it’s called medial collateral ligament or sth) starts to hurt and feel really uncomfortable. especially when ich just lay my legs flat up against a wall… any ideas what it could be or what to do?
lots of love :)
Same bro.
And also do I just do one stretching exercise or one is enough?
This works but like he mentions, by the time i make the 20 minute drive home after the gym, im back to a 2x4
Can someone play single ladies at 1:11
What is your opinion about the exercise “Beat your Boots” ? - greeting form Germany
This guy just doesn't stop flexing his flexibility.
Incredibly flexible

L3-L4 Hernia. Would this help me out with the pain? Or would it potentially make it worse? Thanks!

Should hyper mobile people stretch?
One question if I hold a hamstring stretch and I still making any progress or im only making progress if I do nerve flossing
I will try to integrate this process before work, before lunchbreak and before the workday ends. Ive never been able to touch the floor with my hands
Bro my legs are like 4 ft long and I’m 5’9 i physically can’t touch my toes
Ive always been able to palm the ground even beyond my front side clean behind my feet. Always thought it was wierd
Unsure why this video was recommended to me. I already can reach to my toes and that is enough. However I might want to relearn how to a split and don't want to go any more further because I don't want to see my own butt up close... 💀
For some reason I've never been able to make any progress with stretching. Does anybody know why?
I am ngl.. iv'e been bendy my whole life. ( touching elbow to toe, without doing it on purpose
Hello David! Any resources on Aquiles Tendon and Heels stretches?
You are my newest discovery on RUclips. Why does it took so long. 🤷🏼
