4:20 where is the follow along video?
Seeing I haven't got much time and want to do the split, but can't because of short hamstrings, I am going to give this a try. I've gained quite some extra flex over the last year and can touch my toes now, but am hitting a plateau. Let's see what this brings me
Yoga has been a game changer for me, essentially body weight training and repeated flows for a complete all over workout. This video does make me question yin yoga sessions where we hold a pose to two minutes or more, thoughts?
I'm confused – what's a 'set'? If you say to do 3 sets, is that three stretches, or does a set comprise several stretches? The gym lingo is foreign to me, as you can tell! Great videos, by the way. I feel confident yours are informed by good studies, and they're excellently produced, no distractions, music, appeals for income or sponsorship ads, many thanks.
Love your videos. Thank you for the awesome content!
I call BS. I've been stretching my hamstrings for nine months now for one to two minutes every single day. Made essentially zero progress until I finally started stretching for 3 to 5 minutes at a time, twice a day.
'kapatid na pinoy' you are amazingly brilliant ( proven by work-out) of course by science too by your mentoring. . .we love it.
I'm going to give this a go. I'm definitely not stretching enough. Thank you
for this information
Great info.
Does anyone have the link for the follow-along video with more instruction that she mentioned? Can't find it in the description or anywhere. Did she just send us to a video that doesn't exist??
Hi, I'm loving your content. Is 30 seconds of rest enough? Greetings from Brazil!
Hi, I am having trouble finding the follow along video. Thanks for your help…
Hi, I am having trouble finding the follow along video. Thanks.
My god it cracked me up when you said "Thomas and friends" and showed the research paper LOL! That's it, every paper I cite in university now I'm replacing "et al." with "and friends"
thank you for the video and the giggle! Much love from Australia
3:00 sets n time
Thomas and friends?
you are amazing….. helping me unlock my crazy tight hips and quads I've had for years hindering my squat progression
I'm a little confused here. How does this work with the "go into the stretch slowly" advice from another video, and the "passive stretch, active stretch, antagonist tension" method in yet another? All of that takes longer than 30 seconds.
What about the fascia? Isn't it required to "train" them and stretch everyday?
What if the stretches you showed you cannot even do? I cannot do over half of these stretches. Is there a way to work towards for instance a frog pose or a runners lunge? I can’t sit on the floor with my legs straight out in front of me without severe pain. Let alone try and reach for my upper thighs.
Do you have a follow alone video as could not find in the links thanks
Thanks for clarifying marginal gains between 3 and 6 days a week. Really important and appreciated
You know, thank you cuz I've been stretching even 40 min a day and still haven't gotten my splits yet… now I'm incorporating more strenght training and I'll definitely gonna try these!
I can’t even grab my shin let alone my foot in that stretch – thats it, it’s official I’m officially a concrete block level of stiff…. Determined to reach my feet by this time next year
Sounds great. Is there a follow along video for the precise exercises mentioned in this video? The links in the notes seem to point to something different.
your energy is awesome…..come be my workout partner please
OMG I love this video!!! you have absolutely inspired me!!! I am going to start TODAY!! Thank you so much !!
I was close to the splits as a child & always been athletic. I’m almost 42 & in the last month I’ve gotten closer to splits than I was as a child. I set my alarm & do 30 seconds on, 10 seconds off & 2 min total each stretch & right after my workout. I feel so much better now too
Thanks for this video! Started this, this week. Going with stretching 4-5 times a week for 10 minutes. I pick three to four stretches for each session. Do the 3 sets of 3 stretches for 30 seconds each and rest about 1 min between stretches.
