    This is the single greatest 15 minutes of exercise I have ever done. When I stared doing this a few months ago I was 6 inches from my toes, my whole life never been able to touch the toes, now 3 months on I’m at least 6 inches past the toes. Reaping the overall benefits of hamstring flexibility. Winning.

    Tom, it's a thanks and a suggestion. Thanks for the follow-alongs. Been doing your 20 minute stretch routine daily for several weeks and I'm seeing the progress. Very happy about it, also with the fact that you're helping me with building my discipline. I'd like to ask if you ever thought of doing "theory" vids about your follow-alongs, or as an alternative including several details into the videos. E.g. why you have decided to include this exercise ("it works with these muscles (show them on the body) and also how to do them correctly, how we can do them incorrectly, etc. If I know what muscles should "hurt" during an exercise, and they don't, or other muscles hurt, ill understand that I'm not doing it properly.
    I didn't understand what 90/90 is for and how to do it properly - had to check other channels to get some details.
    The more one is aware of how and why this needs to be done, the more progress and the more consistency there is in a routine. Thanks, hope you reed it. Have a good life!

Moral of the story is consistency, stick with it and your hamstring flexibility will go through the roof.

    But in just seven days, after the stretch, I actually managed to reach down and touch my toes for the first time! I can't thank you enough, this small achievement means a lot to me, my flexibility has been hampering my form in my squats/DL, and this is one tiny step towards fixing that. Guys, just trust this stretch and do it as often as you are able.

    For those with very tight hamstrings, hamstring flexibility is important if you experience low back pain due to hamstring tightness. Just be careful as you can pull a muscle if you push it too much. Be mindful of resting in back extension as shown in the video. It's very helpful and protective of your back. Kudos Tom!

    Thank you so much for the help. I feel much better, my hamstring was so tight and painful to the extent that bending was so difficult for me

    It's only been a week since I followed this routine and I could already put half of my palm under my feet which is a miracle as when I started I could only reach my ankle. Also I still follow your other videos, I use it as my warm up before this one. Thank you!

    The sciatic nerve flossing exercise really works, it's been killing me in the past few weeks and this simple exercise helped me release the tension, thank you!

    Hi Tom! As a martial artist, my lack of hamstring and hip flexibility is a huge problem. The 15 minute beginner flexibility routine has been a huge help, but I'm wondering, when is it appropriate to follow along with that video, as opposed to this one? Should I be alternating that more general video and this more focused video each day, or? Just had to say also - you have by far the best flexibility training videos on youtube. Easily digestible, practical for people of all levels, and the routines have a great flow that makes it easy to complete the whole way through.

    When progressing in these kinds of stretches, like the squat>pike. Is it more important to have straight legs at the top of the stretch? Or to have the hands under the feet?

    Wow I think this is what I really need. Your 3rd video I am following but this one my first try today. I run and swim and do kickboxing, lifting pretty much daily but was never into flexibility, my hamstrings is so tight that it's crazy. I think this is my new favorite. Thanks!
