I feel pain doing every one of your stretches. And it makes me sad bc I'm 23 years old and I went from very flexible child to this just bc of manual work. But I'm also glad I found this channel bc it explains things very well . I really appreciate the content and help u give to others. ❤️
Stretching shouldn't feel painful, you should only be feeling some discomfort. Please don't hurt yourself, and I hope your flexibility comes back quickly!
@@casuallymika I'm sure it will, thank you. Also it's not like painfully painful,its just a reaction on how lazy I was about movement for past few years I guess. I'm not gonna hurt myself, bc I'm trying to make myself better bkt worse
same!!!!! I'm sitting all the time and doing nothing because I'm SO anxious and I feel like I'm becoming ill. I gotta start moving. I'm pretty flexible still but I'm in pain because I'm rusty.
Might want to learn to walk first no offence most ppl don't understand walking potential when fully comprehended in one's personal life , in 3 years I had to relearn to walk twice from being a pro skater by 16 lol 😆 I'm laughing at my self here I'm 35 n had to fight for life or death against men and self recovery is mental physical n spirit driven ..this guy is a bodhisattva of stretching teaching
@@skye387 What in the fuck. How are you 3 even able to fucking walk and live if you're knees are that soft. I've done these sorts of stretches many times knee push ups i only did when i was obese. Nothing ever happened to my knees. Nowadays i also do a lot of muay thai conditioning and shaolin iron knee training and iron fist training.(Fuck no im not doing "iron face" training)
Dude thank you for everything you do. I know you probably get this a lot, but your videos have really motivated me and have helped me with my progression into trying to get more fit and healthy. Thanks for everything you do and for being you! :)
I'm glad I found this channel, I'm a big guy and I work and exhausting job so finding someone for stretching that I can find easy to understand ways to help with my pains, are amazing
i’m predisposed to tight and clicky, sore joints (and boy did i feel that in puberty) but these stretches are actually so helpful. i already stretch (because i do not desire pain) but you’re adding new ones to my arsenal and telling me exactly where it will help. think you.
the key is consistency. i used to just be able to touch my thighs, but after just a week of stretching daily (and only for like 5 mins a day), i can already touch my toes. i still feel some pain, but i’m sure it will go away if i continue stretching.
He actually made a short about this though! It’s a hamstring stretch, one leg at a time, and you start with tiptoeing and therefore bending that leg. Then slowly bend down with your back straight/elongated and butt out until you feel a stretch on your hamstrings. 15 reps each leg, but do an extra 5 if either leg is more tight. I’ll try to link the short if i can find it but hopefully the yt algo sends it your way too!
@@happuhelon i think it’s the one where he calls it a “hack/cheat/trick” to be able to instantly touch your toes. i’ve been doing that stretch as well, and it’s really helped a lot in improving my flexibility.
I don’t know if you already made a video about it, but could u make a video showing how to stretch the things needed to kick more wide and higher? I’ve been doing tae kwon do for a little bit and have some trouble doing high roundhouse kicks, as well as side kicks. I don’t know what I can do to stretch the things I need to kick higher, so it’d be really cool if you could show it.
I have yet to do a single one of the stretches shown on your channel but I continue to like them all and follow your updates as one day I intend to get Flexi... Just probably not today. Keep the content up though love what you do and the clear explanations for them all
Dude, I love your channel. I'm a naturally flexible person and have a lot of trouble with pain in the joints, but your exercises have helped me a lot with it, especially the back and shoulder ones. Thank you very much, stay flexy!
Mr. Flexy. I am so grateful for the motivation your videos bring me. This one in particular, I can't wait to try. My hips are killer. They Hurt! All the time. So, someone literally showing me what to and how to do a stretch for it....I am excited to try it and hopefully see some relief in the future! Keep up the good work!!
Thanks I'm not even 40 and have a screwed up spine that requires me to do tons of physical therapy. I gotta wake up 2 hours early before work just for stretching and to get moving, I've been getting bad sciatica and hip pains - kind of scares me having my hips popping out of place at such a young age, about to go find your hip mobility e-book : ) I'm glad I found your channel - I literally spend 10-20% of my days stretching/physical therapy, have been humiliated and harassed at work beyond belief - like I'm not allowed to stretch 1-2x every 8-12hrs!!!!? I ended up blowing up on them and almost sued them (probably should have) but they leave me alone now and I've gained so much strength over the nearly 2 years I've been working this horrible job. I have an extra vertebrae and Spina bifida epifida and a fused vertebrae and I'm pretty sure some kind of degenerative/rheumatism disease and/or neuralgia (there's no obvious visible deformities). Despite my problems, I think chemical toxins and synthetic stuff (and gmo tech) in our food - just toxins everywhere getting inside us from every direction cause pain and inflammation (not to mention mental/physical and hormonal chemical imbalance). I replaced 20% of my diet with herbal medicine and have *almost never felt better (lol maybe as a preteen). Just started on guggulu, it's supposed to help scrape toxins from the joints and increase joint mobility and facilitate movement.
OMFG YOURE A GAME CHANGER I LIVE YOU OFMG I LOVE YOU SO MUCH🥲 Ik ppl might think this is weird but y’all have no clue how hard it is for me to shift around and stretch into those positions. I’m gonna literally binge all of their shii bruh. This is where I belong
Oh wow, I really needed this. I have had problems with tight hip flexors for a long time, but I struggled to find a stretch that wouldn't make me compensate by putting pressure on my lower back (very sensitive after an old injury). This is something I can do regularly and safely.
Your videos are always so fresh! Just downloaded the hip mobility e-book, I just have a couple of questions on which are the exercises I asume you’ve posted videos already of all the workouts, maybe next e-book you could set links to the videos in the name of the exercises 🤔 I’m starting tomorrow (today is already late and time to sleep) ✌🏼😎
I have a broken back an this shit actually helped pain releive like my back always feels unstable an shaky this relaxed it to a point where i feel like when i sit relaxed for once finally need to keep this in my life
Dude my quads already felt like they were going to snap like a rubber band from just watching you do the couch flex. Guess I need to do your program you mentioned.
Hi there, I've just found you on here and love all your advice and knowledge. I suffer all the time with my hips and lower back pain due to sciatica. I really think your videos will help but being a dinosaur I'm not sure how to get the ebooks....
Haha, pretty much any messenger notification sound is anxiety-inducing. I'd definitely avoid using them in videos unless it's purposefully aimed at doing that to the audience.
You are just great! I‘m a trainer as well and can tell…you do it so smooth and just keep me motivated to go further and not to do only my swimming/riding/skating routine…I started to do more stretching also in time when I occasionally see your shorts😂I like your attitude and how you explain the information. You show and explain! This is how it works! Great!
Dear gods, I've been looking for a good hip flexor stretch. These bad bois are tighter than my hamstrings in the mornings 😅 I always have ussues with them, but I'm so glad you made this!
My bad, it seems the link _is _ “listed in the description”. I was just looking in the _current video_ description. I actually like the way it’s listed now, directing to the free ebooks page. For dummies like me, you might consider adding it to both places, so they don’t get confused. Thank you for sharing great content!
I qm so glad I found this channel. Bodyweighy activities seem so much more fun than bodybuilding even tho I am working out for bigger muscles. I am adding flexibility to my workouts and its been a few days i already love it even though the only move I can do is reaching the floor😆
I downloaded the free ebook from the links on your page cause Im almost 30 and skateboarding really needs hip rotation and I really need not sore hip joints
my right hip flexor is stupid tight and I never feel like I get a good enough stretch. bout to grab that toe tho. plug ya ears tho cause I'm prolly gunna scream a little. 🤣
Tried the "elephant walk" stretch and immediately felt relief from lower back pain. My quads and hamstrings are super tight which causes the lower back pain according to my chiropractor. Stretching the right way and the right areas is life changing!!!
you need a wall, uses the refrigerator😂 dude, i really like your videos because of your humour. i never saw a person who is more flexy and has that many skills.
Holy fuck my hip flexors hurt so bad from kicking I’m not even kidding I was just kicking my bag and I stopped because they started hurting and I was about to stretch then I see this like wtf😂
Hi I am Rohit from India and I have a mobility issues and that why I am unable to touch my knees with chest and due to his i am unable to raise my hips more upward for the tuck planche ,L-sit , and unable to go deep in Pistol Squat . Although I have good amount of core strength and good ankle mobility Can you please suggest me how can I able to touch my knees with chest with some exercises and mobility routine . Waiting for your Reply With love Rohit
Can you do something on ankle flexibility? My plantar and dorsiflexion are both terrible. In this video you have your foot flush against the wall, and mine simply does not do that. Sorry if you’ve already made something on ankles

I honestly don’t know how my guy just presses his bare knees into the hard floor like that…

I literally got my ligament torn from doing knee push-ups without pillow. It's still healing now.

Bro only weighs like 150lbs. I’m 199lbs so it hurts way more on hard wood

I also have trouble with kicks :/ for roundhouse kicks, I think hip mobility and flexible hamstrings are important though
Try leg raises and just stretch your hamstrings
I've downloaded all the free guides and I am so incredibly thankful and so excited when a new one comes out!! Thank you!!

I would literally take classes from you if you were local to me. This is so cool

This channel is the greatest thing RUclips ever recommended to me
I need to start doing these! This kid knows what he's talking about.
Man that book is really good. Thanks. I couldn't decide what excercises i should do in beginning.
I tried this and I haven't felt so much pain in my life
I wasn't ready
Is it dangerous ?
I agree, tried it and holy shit im in pain

Such a timely vid! Thanks for your work, David 🙌🏼☀️
You are badass, sir! Thanks for the content
That’s one way to flex having nice quads
You've introduced me to a realm of stretching that I didn't know was possible😂
Haha cool way to change ur pants! Awesome vid as always! Stay flexi!

That is truly some great great great advice
Holy smokes, these videos are GREAT 💥
Best vid I've found thank you!
Your videos are extremely helpful!!
You're killing me. All of this is very painful
You can just tell he knows the whole Kamasutra. That's one good reason to be flexy for sure 😂
Thanks for the ebook. That's very generous.
I love how he does this in his kitchen
Oh wow, I really needed this. I have had problems with tight hip flexors for a long time, but I struggled to find a stretch that wouldn't make me compensate by putting pressure on my lower back (very sensitive after an old injury). This is something I can do regularly and safely.
Hurts good! This is the best stretch!
I love your video they're truly the best!! Could you do one on how to pistol squat? even when I do normal squat my heels lift of the ground? :/
Bare knees on the hardwood when you grab your back leg is crazy bro
I had dancer hip for years you fucking fixed it lol 😆
Your videos are always so fresh!
Just downloaded the hip mobility e-book, I just have a couple of questions on which are the exercises I asume you’ve posted videos already of all the workouts, maybe next e-book you could set links to the videos in the name of the exercises 🤔

Great content.. started watching your vids a week ago, as they fit my need excersing in the tiniest bit place I have. Thank you 😊

I so wish more people knew this! Have more flexible hip flexor can help immensely with low back pain
You rock! Thank you.

I like this guy‘s content
I just love your videos, I think you are very precious, you have a beautiful spirit!
nice transition
I do not have words to describe how much i hate the wall stretch, but there i am doing every training session and it really works 😅
Great stuff !
Nice videos, man. And very useful. Thanks

You can also regress the couch stretch by doing it against a chair if the wall is too intense! So your foot isn't getting pressed against the wall.
my right hip flexor is stupid tight and I never feel like I get a good enough stretch. bout to grab that toe tho. plug ya ears tho cause I'm prolly gunna scream a little. 🤣
The one with the wall is one I’ve done in dance classes a lot. Specifically with conditioning classes to get your pointe shoes

you need a wall, uses the refrigerator😂 dude, i really like your videos because of your humour. i never saw a person who is more flexy and has that many skills.
I like all your videos
still have amazing mobility, my right leg is way more stretchy, props to my karate kicking days, no issue I can still reach the ground in a split
Badass! Dude, thank you!
I used to do that stretch. Goo stretch. I gotta get back to stretching again.
Thanks!
Stay Flexy friend!
I didn’t know this and have had issues all summer long. Almost feels like I have sciatic but it’s not. ❤ I will certainly try this!
Where may I locate your hip flexor book? I thank You for posting. I am learning a lot by subscribing.
Hey David, wanted to ask you where did you learn all of this?🤨
Anyways,
Love your videos🔥💯❤️
Thank you!
Hypmobility..yeah I'm in
Holy fuck my hip flexors hurt so bad from kicking I’m not even kidding I was just kicking my bag and I stopped because they started hurting and I was about to stretch then I see this like wtf😂
My thigh immediately went into a cramp doing the first one 😭
Great flex..info thanks dude
We do that stretch in colorguard! Now I know why
Hi I am Rohit from India and I have a mobility issues and that why I am unable to touch my knees with chest and due to his i am unable to raise my hips more upward for the tuck planche ,L-sit , and unable to go deep in Pistol Squat . Although I have good amount of core strength and good ankle mobility
Can you please suggest me how can I able to touch my knees with chest with some exercises and mobility routine .
Waiting for your Reply
With love Rohit
Nice stomp!
It’s the Thomas test (in the physical therapy world)!
That wall was pretty great
My quads are crazy stretchy
can you do a video about knees? I see you stretch on hard wood floors with no mat and I could never imagine doing that
1:30:16 uncommon amongst uncommon people
THANK YOU BROTHER
Can you do something on ankle flexibility? My plantar and dorsiflexion are both terrible. In this video you have your foot flush against the wall, and mine simply does not do that. Sorry if you’ve already made something on ankles
amazing channel tysm
Id be careful with that stretch. I pitched a nerve in my hip and my whole quad on that leg went numb. Which resulted in an even tighter quad
