    this is the most straightforward and effective guide I've ever seen. And with so little words and zero talking into the camera. You know someone has truly mastered their craft when they can take such a complex subject and make it elegant and simple.

    I really like being able to see each muscle and have a specific stretch for each one. It helps guide me, on where I need it the most. I am slowely working my pay through this list, some of the streches are familar, but often presented in a slightly new manner, and some are all new to me. But they all feel so good to do.

    • @claraheadstrong2143
      @claraheadstrong2143 3 роки тому +4

      Not sure in first count but the second one is because you need to work on the active strength of the muscles. Your muscles can reach the splits but they don't have the power to get there against gravity.

    • @adrianavargova
      @adrianavargova 3 роки тому +2

      Because when you're standing, it is exactly like you were in a split on the floor and bending forward to your front leg. Simple split needs a lot of elasticity and bending forward or backwards is extra step. I have the same problem. We need to increase our flexibility.

    • @rpullman
      @rpullman 3 роки тому +1

      First step is to fix your back pain. Any exercise that you can do without pain might be good. Standing meditation (zhan zhuang) might help. It stretches the sinew and tones the core and leg muscles. It takes 2-3 weeks to build endurance. At that point you should see a reduction in the pain and strenthening of the lower back. But if doing it just makes your back worse then do not continue. It costs nothing to do this exercise. You can do it at home any time of day. There are quite a few UA-cam videos that teach zhan zhuang. One good one is ua-cam.com/video/eBSyzHIJvxY/v-deo.html.

    Hows it going Elasticsteel, I have been a fan for a few years and I am now going to start committing to a real stretching program. I watched many of your videos and learned a lot. My question is, how aggressive should one stretch? I understand that there is research talking about the duration, but what about intensity? I have a bad habit of always doing it too aggressively (at least I think its too aggressive) and end up sore for 5-7 days.

      it can work, but might take very long. Without reaching the full split you can tho strengthening those areas by doing it regularly. Another good exercises is the horse stance, for the split. Heaps of videos on youtube :). Be careful tho, the older we get, the longer it takes, and the higher is the risk of injuries. See a professional for more accurate advice depending on your body condition (i'm in the middle of my journey to learn the split and i'm 30yo, started couple of months ago).

      @@thomaslemercier3107 it could depend on your sex. When I was learning to swim in my mid 30s, the trainer told me I'm lucky to be a woman to learn breaststroke, because men have difficulties due to their skeleton. They can't do those leg moves, something in their bones grows together somewhere in their hip area... and does not allow that motion. So I guess women are probably more flexible in hip area in general, because we were meant to give birth.

    If you couldn't do a split as a child you probably are not capable of doing it because the femor is hitting the pelvis. The splits depend on your skeletal structure and less than 10% of people have the structure to allow for splits. Practice will not change this. Check out Anatomy for yoga video by Paul Grilley.
