    Well worth listening all the way through at least once but bookmarking for quick reference
    2:00 elephant walk 30 reps
    3:42 single leg hip hinge +/- weight, 8 reps per leg
    5:36 high kicks (reciprocal inhibition) 12 reps per leg
    6:46 raised split leg forward fold
    (I made up the names of the last 3 😅)

    Impossible for me. I need a chair for the first exercise.... And I feel my knees are ripping apart. Nothing else hurts. Except the backside of my knees (the literally feel like the rip apart). Is that normal? And the third exercise (the kicks) just hurts too xD
    Conclusion: I can't do none of this :(

    • @kayelle8005

      The pain behind your knees could be a result of your hamstrings.

    • @lightswitch77
      @lightswitch77 6 місяців тому +1

      maybe bring your hands up to your knees, or even higher. It'll burn at the back of your knees at first as that's the hamstring stretch, but it'll get easier if you practice every day!

    I have a HUGE request for you: Can you make a video:
    "How to: Pancake?"
    There are countless videos about exercises like "Cossack Squats" or "Standing Pancake", which I can easily do if done correctly. But when I'm down on the ground, just sitting on a straddle, the adductors immediately go into painful protective tension, even though I've been specifically training the adductors for months. Thank you very much for your sooooo valuable work. Thanks to you, I managed to cross the bridge for the first time. ✌

    reciprocal inhibition is BY FAR the most effective mobility exercise for my hamstrings. Doing it just for 60s can improve my fingertip-to-floor distance by 10cm or even more

  • @janjohnson6721

    Thank you for this video. Only found this channel a few days a go. Explained brilliantly. Will definitely give this a go.
    My problem is I have fibromyalgia, every part of my body is stiff and in pain, I don't really know which one your videos I should start with. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    • @totmsuncomesout
      @totmsuncomesout 6 місяців тому +1

      I have similar issues and I feel like Liv's videos are accessible to pretty much everyone as long as you work within your tolerance threshold and accept that you will likely have to work at a slower pace and for longer than people who don't have these issues to get results. It's a patience game, do what you can to enjoy the journey as much as possible :)

    • @LuvYourDiet
      @LuvYourDiet 3 місяці тому

      Fibromyalgia flares are better rested or with a bit of walking, mild stretching if possible than trying to force the body. When already in pain, it's hard to tell if it's from muscle, ligaments or nerves. Take this time to nurture your body with healthy foods.
      I suffered with it for 25yrs & rested on days I couldn't do anything else..it's been in remission, so I started regular exercises 2mo ago. It's possible to see big improvements in a short but consistent time. Never overdo.
      Be careful & go slowly like she's beautifully demonstrated & with patience will come flexibility ♥️

    I’m 53 and started my flexibility journey at the age of 50. I’m more flexible than I’ve ever been in my life. Men… we are less flexible than women in general because we focus on strength. Strengthen by lengthening and you’ll be surprised w a new lease on life 💪🏼

    OR
    On leg day before workout?

    On leg day after workout?
    OR
    Avoid on leg day?
