Wanted to thank you so much, I've been doing your full body routines almost everyday for months now, because I practice Kickboxing and I was severely lacking in the flexibility department for this sport. Even during quarantine without practices, I've been doing it even more religiously, and I have noticed huge improvements in my flexibility, it's amazing really, I created a playlist of flexibility routines (mostly your routines and SaturnoMovement and a few others) which I rotate every day, so I hit different things every day. It's always my warmup before I do cardio/weight training

@archdevilpray95554 жыл бұрын
@@calebasir7939 I start with 15 min warm-up stretches, then usually 3 pnf excersice and finally try my splits. After that It's back and forth with pnf and middle splits till I'm not able to do anymore. But you have to know that i made progress so fast because I was already quite flexible( I have been doing yoga for 5 years already). I was able to do asian squats for 15 min easily and also able to touch my head to my knees before even starting my middle splits routine. I'm also short 5'7 height and that might also help me as short people trend to be more flexible. Your progress is pretty normal, don't worry just don't loose your confidence and be regular with your training. It might take you a year or so and that's quite normal for people who just started. If it makes you feel better just know that i have a 5 years heads start due to practicing yoga. You are already doing great for a 2.5 months progress. You can also eat good protein diet as it may help you with fast muscle recovery and if you can also have some muscle recovery supplements so you can get back to heavy stretches faster.

Sorry to hear about your injury. The main reason I don't do routines around injuries is for two reasons: 1. Injuries are individual and need to be treated on that basis. Generic advice could as easily make things worse as it could better. 2. I'm not a physio. I have studied corrective exercise and help many clients with injuries but it would be a farce to claim that I know everything about injury and help everyone. Hopefully you can find something helpful out of what I've produced :)
