I was literally just about to make a comment of this. Ty
I love how your house is so real. Is not Insta-fake. Just normal. Thanks for injecting reality and humanity into social media.
😂 so true
I've seen 15/20+ minute videos of other people teaching how to do the splits and nothing ever worked when I tried those. I've been doing your method of 3 30 second sets (however i'm doing it almost every day) and one month later, i'm able to do my left leg split, i'm halfway from doing my middle split, and my right leg split is also halfway there too!! Thank you soooo much for this!!
hey! How's it going? I started this week and I wonder how much time do people need, I've been practicing sports all my life and I'm in shape but I have to admit that I left my flexibility apart recently hahaha
@@user-pj2jh8on6e I ended up going on vacation and didn't have time to continue T^T I'm so mad, I was SO close to reaching the ground for my middle split! I was only inches away! Now that I'm back and after not stretching, I'm kinda back to square one. It really depends on how flexible you are at the moment but as long as you stay consistent with these stretches, I really think you'll be able to reach your goal!
I’ve been doing flexibility training for almost 1,5 years and I’m extremely disappointed and sad since I have not achieved any of my splits (with squared hips), so after watching this video and seeing your comment I decided to do this on top of my regular training and hope to finally get them this year!!
@@user-pj2jh8on6eaye, How's it going with you? It's been 4 months. You ever achieve the splits?
@@airi9793did you mnage to get your split with that video ?
I don't know if you'd agree with this, but I had a wrestling coach who taught us that when we stretch for flexibility, we should stretch to the point of slight discomfort, but never pain.
Not 100% sure, but I always used that advice for my stretching.
I absolutely agree!
That's pretty much what he said in the video
Coach is right on with David. "Pain=bad. Relax=good"
Army trained us the same way. "Bend until you feel stretch but not pain" is etched in my memory. Then again, I said this too when leading PT...
Depends who you ask. Stretching to the point of pain can be risky but will work faster.
i love how straightforward you are. Ive seen so many videos where they just waste your time and make you do like 20 different stretches
He knows his shit
Hahah you, my dude, are lovely. Your videos are so chill, they make me feel really comfortable and not disappointed about not being the most flexible! 😁 Keep it up! Thank you! 😊
We all gotta start somewhere!
I totally agree 👍

@@vaxdnrelaxd Self report
@@vaxdnrelaxdlol you’re a loser. Go away hater. You’re just mad because you can’t do the splits with load 🥱
I do a 20-30 minute stretching routine 6 days a week. This video can definitely get you to your splits, but a longer stretching routine is very relaxing and feels great.
I have a request! I am a 39 year old mother of two teens and we are terribly out of shape. Two of us are lean but are wimpy and two (including husband) are overweight. I wanted to start with flexibility to get warmed up and incrementally add more to our routines. It would be super cool if you did like a 30 day series or at minimum, add something like a daily routine set of videos to a playlist on your channel. I found you on FB, and hoped I wouldn’t have to make my own by going through over 100 videos to figure out what I needed first. Thanks! Your content is fantastic
@@andreakatz6109 What is wrong with you? Why would you be a cyber bully?
Start with this. Easy, no huffing, puffing, but does require action. Everybody doing it is like a challenge to each other. Or you be da chick, be the example and prove it. You know. Diets don't work. Why? Becuz diets don't work. People work.
Hi! I don't know if you still need it, but I would say this: Most people know generally what they need to do. Change diet and get off the couch/office chair. The cool thing about getting off one's butt is that it isn't about accuracy at all. Something that you can implement immediately is start to notice the little choices that we make throughout the day. The choice to take the elevator. The choice to take the car. The choice to eat the chips. The choice to stay up late. And then when we have noticed those things, we can start changing them. Park further away to get some steps in. Cook something yummy with the partner instead of watching a movie. Take a walk after work. I think in terms of exercise, strength training is the most beneficial if you want to start somewhere. Weight training is especially fun, but calisthenics can be great if you wanna do something with your kids.
It's not as hard as most people think if you just want to maintain a general level of health. You don't really need a set routine, just some "rules" to guide your daily choices.
@@sussanalee430 that’s how I did it. I started doing stretches and workouts at home every day and my teen step son then started wanting to do it too, my one year old even does it and now my boyfriend with the dad bod is talking about “needing to stretch” after seeing how limber I got just after a couple weeks.
Now I’ve plateaued with my leg stretches and am working on more at home strength training bc I’m too scared and don’t have time to go to the gym and embarrass myself anyways.
Every day I try to do at least push-ups dips crunches and … air humps? Lol booty exercise laying on the floor with knees bent and humping the air is as best as I can explain it. I’m sure it has a name 😂
@@HeatherHolt Haha, air humps is great lol. Not really that far off the actual name either, they're just called hip thrusts
I don't even need to get my splits, but I clicked on the video anyway, because I'm a coach and am always curious what advice other people give. You got a subscriber, because I think this is one of the best how to get your splits videos I've seen. Nice to see someone who actually does their research. As a side note: I always wear mismatching socks too, and my students like to tease me about it. 😊
I noticed knee strain in the side split. I feel unsafe with full extension and my body weight bearing down, and fear getting out of the stretch. Is it a me thing, or is there a safer progression I could look for. I usually find this guy very good, but I think this method is perhaps not for older folk, say 50plus
@@creatrixZBDmaster your fear big brother , getting out of stretch is still my biggest fear sometimes i search is it a phobia or something 😂 but in the end of the day i never give up😊 still push myself every day in splits
Tbh I didn't even thought about wanted to do splits, but I saw a video of you online so I clicked on it (without knowing the title XD). I ended up doing the exercises with you lol
I always enjoy your vids :)
Let’s goooo!
My hip flexors and hamstrings are super tight from years of football injures so more of this split stretch series in this slightly longer form are greatly appreciated
The thing I look for in instructors is authenticity, technical knowledge, and ability. You have all of that plus a good vibe, liked and subbed
This makes so. Much sense just to practice the split till you get lower, I hate doing the other stretching video where you do everything but the splits
Yes! I’ve been waiting for you to make this, you’re the best and my flexibility has been improving so much since watching your videos. So looking forward to finally getting my splits!
great video, no youtuber shit, no useless stuff, no rushed content, great editing, mild sense of humor, if i had a complaint would be lack of safety warnings, but hey, nothing is perfect.
i love these full length stretch videos where i can follow along! i have had trouble with my hips since i was 12 (ex-dancer) so it’s nice to be easing back into my splits in a gentle way
Been trying to get my splits for years! This is the year I get it! Thanks for the video! 🤸🏾♀️
Just started my journey towards unlocking the splits, I can't tell you how much I love this channel
Your videos are straightforward, so helpful and relatable! Your little side convos during the actual stretch got me thru the discomfort and even made me chuckle a little 😅
thank you sooo much!
Cheers. Been watching your shorts for ages. Thanks for this video. Middle splits is exactly what I want to achieve. 2 years seems like a realistic time frame for any goal, lmao. Wish me luck.
You’re amazing dude. There are just a few like you putting out such information for free, genuinely trying to help others. Hampton at Hybrid Calisthenics is another.
I love your video bc you can see your personality shine through. You didn't need fancy equipment or a yoga mat, you did it comfortably and this is one of the best help splits video I've seen.
You sir is amazing. I recently started practicing Taekwondo and was feeling really bummed out by the fact I can't do the side kicks higher than my opponent's knee level because I have almost no flexibility. Your great sense of humor inspired me to improve. I am going to get and stay flexy!
Saw you on instagram and now I'm here :) Love how you include literature to back what you're practicing. Only 3 days a week? I can do that! Thank you for the great video
Thank you so much! Your tutorials are always so helpful, and you are so nice, so it doesn't seem too hard and scary. ☺️
I have hit my splits a few times, but I pushed way to far and almost pulled my hamstrings. This video has already helped me so much, and I’ve only done it twice!
I love how your videos get to the point right off from the start ! Love the helpful info !
Thank you very much for your guidance.
I did a couple years of karate self defense classes when I was a teenager , and now I'm recovering from a torn meniscus. I can't wait for this injury to have fully healed and most physiotherapy clips I've watched all lean towards stretching and light exercises. I already had lost a bit of excess weight about 12 years ago , but this is a great pretext to get in a better shape and to cope with my age.
Loved seeing you rotate the leg/knee/foot up in the middle splits. As a ballet dancer, we always do rotated middle splits - never letting the knees and feet fall forward toward the floor - then pancake upper body to floor 😉
Glad to finally find a long format video by you, all your stuff has been amazing so far
I’ve always been pretty flexy as a kid, never realized that was cause I loved having amazing range of motion. That stretch felt amazing, made my head spin, and makes me feel soooo much better.
Thank you David for showing how to do the middle split safely. So happy!
You are so inspiring, and these stretches are amazing! Thank you so much.
Thank you so mcuh for doing it in real time with us!!!
Yw:)
Fr it's sm better counting w him I feel like I am working w a real trainer
Thank you very much! Keep up the content, it’s mighty helpful. Splits here we come 🚀
I just wanna thank you for just saying chair is an advance level and showing so many different states it's so refreshing and help regain the self confidence danse stretch made me lose for so long for not being good enough
You are part of the reason I'm going back to stretching for myself
This motivated me to get out of bed today and continue working on my splits (I have my right split, my left split is super close, my middle splits are good, but I want to get my oversplits). Thank you :)
Thank you so much! 😊 This is great! I'm very excited to try!
i love this guy’s videos he’s so knowledgeable and likable and seems like a cool dude
I love the feeling after I've done stretches, it's such a pleasant tiredness.
Great vid & explaining/explanations! Thank you!
i want to learn the split, but u are so chill, I subscribed
I recently got my over splits.. I got excited, pushed myself and here I am not having my splits for the first time in a year🥲 So just a reminder that stretching should never be uncomfortable👍
Another recommendation is to get out of a long stretch with the release of the muscle and avoid contracting them. For example, using the hands to pull the body back from the middle split so that the legs are closed without activating them
Great video! I would love to see some back stretches or generally important stretches when sitting all day
Great video as always! Just wanted to know what we can do for popping sounds in the hips and shoulders while exercising
Could you do an all over daily body stretch video? I would love to implement your guidance each day but I prefer the video guidance! Thank you for this video!
Yes! Thank you! I'd love to see something specific to the psoas!
This is so helpful! Thank you! Keen to inprove my flexibilirt.
Would appreciate some more details on positoning the body when in both splits too :D
I’m pretty flexible already, but I want to learn the splits so I have a new skill to show off
so real
I have questions. 1) what is my hip alignment supposed to be? Should I be keeping my upper body square and straight? 2) what are my feet supposed to be doing when stretching? You explained kinda for the middle one but not the other. 3) can you put this video into chapters so it’s easier to revisit?
Valuable info mate... Thx 👌👌
i already knew most of that (been dancing ballet since 2010), so I actually watch your videos because I like you :)
These are great! Do you have one on Back bends? Also can you share your book/article references?
A Bridge Pose Tutorial would be awesome!
Regarding this specific video, thank you very very much!
Keep doing what you’re doing 💪💪💪
I’d love that, too
bro your videos are the best. didnt realize you had a youtube. instant sub
Thank you for this! Could you maybe do one on shoulder flexibility?
I love you adding the studies
Bro!! Your hair is so poofy and beautiful!!! Also! Love your videos!! Love how you explain ❤
I'm practicing Karate and one of the things you should be able to do is a full split, this video is extremely useful, thank you!
I love the way you teach about mobility!
About your 5 minute a week statement- definitely a minimum! Everyone's different. Due to joint hypermobility, my muscles tense up QUICK when I'm not stretching! I've found 7+ minutes a week on each stretch gets me maintenance and subtle gains in flexibility. This is ok, though, patience! Consistent stretching in safe ways & ranges also reduces pain for me :)
Awesome Flexy Class! Love the mismatched socks too, been doing it since I was a kid. Your wife is awesome (as are you)!
Thank you for such useful content! I like it
Just discovered your channel. Answers to my prayers..
Thank you that really helped me to actually relax while doing split
Legit the best video on splits
This guy is awesome! Love the stretching tips.
Just got here from your tiktok videos i always wanted to splits and this exercise seems pretty feasible to do, so thanks for all the tips!
Thanks! Would love a straddle stretch video
I am a retired cheerleader trying to get back into it. I’ve lost slot of flexibility and muscle and your videos have helped me so much. I feel like I actually know how to stretch without d’aman hung my body. Thank youuu!
Thank you for sharing best tricks.
Thank God for Mortal Kombat because without it I wouldn't be on this journey. Also the best split video I've found, straight to the point and very helpful.
Thanks for the video, it’s being a while that I am working on my splits and now that I’m “almost there” I feel I got stucked :/ I’ll certainly follow those tips!
Great! Thank you!
Your content is amazing. I am already seeing improvement in my hamstrings. I need help with butterfly stretches. I just can't seem to get my legs down and my upper body to move forward. Any content on this is appreciated.
I'm stretching 6-7 days a week. I told my daughter i was going to do the splits with her. Giving myself to my birthday 4 months to teach this goal 😅
I'm following all your videos on youtube and I'm trying to get the pistol squat and the full squat .. beautiful and very useful videos .. I await the guides and your tutorials you are very good and thanks .... I prefer the longer and longer ones on youtube complete
I'm waiting for your guide with exercise photos
Not sure I did the front stretch right as I didn't really feel much in the back leg but this was a nice experience. I'm glad I got into exercising. It's quite fun.
Definitely trying this. Do you have any recs for deepening a back bend?
13 year old here and even thought im young ive always wanted to do the splits!
Are you the hello kitty girl 😮
Ehhhh sorry no
You are literally the only person who explained this in a straightforward way. Thank you.
Good video. Straight forward.
This is what I wanted. Thankyou!
I love you and your content on TikTok. Thanks so much!
Love you bro. Keep it up!
loved the commentary and your mention of your wife was adorable
I’m looking forward to getting there.
Love it! I'm working on my splits but i'm going to try this easiest routine!
A question: i stretch my splits usually after the workout (for which i warmup at the start), so i don't need to do the warm up again right?
You are very nice, thank you for the videos.
I know the science of stretching, but I clicked because I like you. Most concise guy on the internet 😁
Yes we like you ... Your content is unique... Just love it ❤
I can’t find a link to you merch store. Have you put out your shirt yet? I would love to look into buying it if you have. If not I guess I’ll just have to wait. 😢😊 Thanks so much for the videos. I used to be in gymnastics and I’ve lost quite a bit of that flexibility but, you’ve inspired me to get it back!
Bro, awesome content.
I clicked on it because I like you. I saw your shorts and now I wanna be able to give super likes or something
Great teaching.
I use this video to help me stretch sometimes! I'm working on my flexibility, so I can kick better!
Not sure if you know this, but mismatched socks are really good on youtube videos for telling which foot is in front and which is at back. Especially when you are wearing black pants where you can't see where front or back is. Some illustrations in books colour a leg or foot differently to show which one is front or back. I hope that made sense.
I’m here because I like you! ❤️❤️
Thanks!!!
