Boyfriend VS Girlfriend 'Gymnastics Challenge' | Nile Wilson & Emily McCarthy

[@lizzieclimbs]

I love how Emily matches niles energy

[@debarjandatta2170]

And both look so similar

[@en7998]

I also love how she flexed on him - doing the handstand with the legs lower was smart

[@janey27701001]

My favourite part of their relationship is that they can just be themselves with each other. They joke, she matches his energy and they’re just both so funny.

[@crazyhelmetbiker]

nile and emily are perfect for each other, i hope these guys make it together.

Nile “She’s the love of my life..” Emily “Burrrrrrp” Love these two🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@manonferrier7585]

Emily : flexible af, hold my 10 yoga blocks Also Emily : gives up the pike fold after 2secs "I don't likeeeeee it" 😂

[@Alexis84DE]

Man I missed that Intro!! Made me smile to hear it. And glad Emily gets the recognition she deserves „my wonderful girlfriend“ ❤️

[@nalinea18]

Nile: "All you have to do is hang from the bar." Emily: "You mean upside down, right? Right?!" Nile: "What? No, that's not - " Emily: "Upside down it is!"

[@c.jharriet110]

2:49 is literally true love! Like no one else can say “what is wrong with you?” with that much love.

[@dsgrbrowne1]

well, she won 2 more after that, she just pretended for him. that is love.

[@Colley_co]

Emily! You literally did 9 yoga block extended front split but can’t do the pike fold for more than a few seconds!? 😂

[@TexasbyStorm]

Because she let him win. I hate when girls do that. I grew up with 3 brothers and know 100% what giving it to them for their ego looks like.

[@charlie5531]

So that it could be a close finish 😕

[@arthurtheaardvark13]

I don't think she let him win. She's said before how much she hates pike folds. Folding forward is really different from folding backward

[@lucasmorris1373]

Ye idk I can split all ways but it takes me a while to get into pike fold

[@isabel-rk6dc]

to be fair, oversplits are a lot easier and different to folding the other way

[@EmilyMcCarthy95]

Muhahaha!!! TEAM GIRLS!!! 😝💪🏽 You should all come stretch with me live at the wilsonator club!!!! 😃🤸🏻‍♀️💜 I’ll turn you all into contortionists and we will all have a right laugh doing it hehehehe

[@gwennlammens1198]

You inspired me to go and stretch every day. I just signed up and I'm looking forward to stetching together with you! 🤸🏼‍♀️

[@merle9195]

Does it cost anything? ❤

[@abimorrisonpossibleplantba9783]

Man I wish so much because you guys are amazing!!

[@avalanedancer]

I wish! Come to Australia & train me!!!!!

[@dtrjones]

LOL I'm a runner, 46 years old and I don't bend... But thanks anyway!

[@lilygarrod4977]

Legit just smiled like crazy when I saw this video pop up

[@alextonnison]

That exercise where you contract the muscles in the stretch is called PNF and it works really well but hurts 😂

[@ap_pt9221]

was gonna comment but i'm glad you did bro!!

[@satsukikorin]

Please add what PNF stands for, @Alex Tonnison.

[@alextonnison]

@@satsukikorin of course mate, PNF stands for Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation

[@julieturner7606]

More PNF info from the International Journal of Sports Physical Therapy: www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3273886/. “Pre-contraction stretching involves a contraction of the muscle being stretched or its antagonist before stretching. The most common type of pre-contraction stretching is proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) stretching. There are several different types of PNF stretching (Table 1) including “contract relax” (C-R), “hold relax” (H-R), and “contract-relax agonist contract” (CRAC); these are generally performed by having the patient or client contract the muscle being used during the technique at 75 to 100% of maximal contraction, holding for 10 seconds, and then relaxing. Resistance can be provided by a partner or with an elastic band or strap (Figure 4).”

This video was great! The fact that you had a conversation while on your hands, and can do all that you did hanging from a steel bar... This is why I look forward to your uploads!! 💕💕

[@melodygunning5684]

My favourite uploads are the ones with Nile and Emily together. They adore each other, they funny and the fun. Keep it up. I'm from Cape Town and adore you both.

[@justforkicks0114]

It’s always a good day when a Nile Wilson vlog comes out

[@renaissancevenus2978]

1:59. I thought I misheard something when Emily started counting in Russian 😂 🇷🇺

[@Anelia333]

Same 😂

[@vad6707]

Yeah, it sounded like one in Russian.

[@amiyaleachman]

I am a gymnast and that's how I got into gymnastics is being inspired by you. I love how Emily matches Niles energy and personality

[@jesscobb587]

Emily is the best friend we all need!! Lol individually and together I love the content! ❤️

[@wessel-jameskos6562]

I've been to Fly High so many times this week and still haven't seen the Wilsonator. I'm starting to think that he's more of a myth, a legend then man.

[@baileymccallum5503]

Nile, it's amazing to continue to get videos. Never stop! Also, she's the one for you.

[@FruityLiana]

Yessssss guys! Loved this so much, BUZZING for these next 3 weeks and I can’t wait for Emily’s stretching sessions!

[@CaptainFALKEN]

Hah... gaaayy 😉

[@crip665]

7:48 it´s called "post isometric relaxation" (I hope I translated it correctly. I learned it here in germany as "post-isometrische-relaxation").

[@bobbyatopk]

its called proprioceptive neuromscular facilitation here i think. i like post isometric relaxation more..

[@heatherrivers3178]

That type of stretch is either called contract/relax or PNF stretching. To take stretch to deep stretch, then contract the muscle for up to 10sec or so then relax. It plays off of the motor neurons and the reflexes of the nervous system. This is what we use in Massage Therapy a lot.

[@gebacle]

This is top quality youtube content.

[@tomhughes1948]

7:53 gotta love pnf (proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation)

[@crip665]

actually PNF is a form of neurologic concept in physiotherapie

[@MrNobodyShit]

Yep u are right ! post isometric relaxation is for the muscle strech :)

[@maeganachoy8222]

Nile: *having a moment* Johanna: “you’re ridiculous 🙄” 😂 😂

[@eveh1458]

10:06 is that how acrobats flirt lol

[@yolandalindeque4013]

Great vlog guys!! I am totally fangirling over Emily. Watching her vlogs got me into stretching and I love it. Thanks 2 two have a smashing day!

[@johnbaldwin143]

You two are true ambassadors for gymnastics! I found your channel through Eddie Hall and I am so glad I did!

[@tylerwalker2013]

Current Bsc Sport Rehab student here, The stretch Nile was referring to is called PNF (Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation)

[@madelinegrimshaw775]

Ahh im so glad these two ended up together! It was totally obvious in the vid where they first met how much they fancied each other! Yay love 🥰

[@willow.cosgrove]

Can you imagine one day when there are going to be tons of mini Niles and Emilys running around! They would be the best parents!🤣😍🥰

[@DungNguyen-FatRacoon]

Imagine them swinging around the gym and Nile have to use all of his skill to fatch his kids =)))))) with Emily laughing somewhere in the background =)))))

0:26 . . . Anybody else think of Safety Dance by Men in Hats the way she said that? 😂😂😂

[@crzyinzan3]

I finally found an adult beginners gymnastics class in my area and I’m loving it.

[@nillaskat1]

She's so adorable

[@Ambers_Team]

I love when he says oh no.... oh no .... 🤣👏🏻

[@helicart]

7:40 You are describing one PNF stretching technique called 'contract-relax'. PNF = proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation. 3 steps for a hamstring stretch: 1. passively flex hip joint to end of range with help of instructor, band, towel. 2. hold at extreme end of range for 10-20 seconds, giving a strong stretch to hamstrings. 3. lastly, actively extend hip joint back towards floor using glutes and hams.

[@Sporty27211]

So sad these two aren't together anymore, they where an amazing couple ❤️

[@TheKevlarKitten]

The sass every time she sticks the landing is just EPIC.

[@M5TABBYCAT]

Love their competitive natures. Refreshing lovely

[@nhannah8009]

well if this will get viral, which I definitely wish you guys, I've been here before lmao always love your positive energy

[@pennywoznikaitis282]

Both your energy and laughter is contagious 🔥❤️

[@annaelise7357]

THE INTROOOOOOOO 😭😭 Bruh strong 2017 vibes

[@cozzabhotmailcom]

it’s Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation, the name for the stretching you were asking

[@Fireshar]

Omg that INTRO 😍😍😍 what a throwback for us old school followers

[@rachaelmunt2284]

PNF stretching is the resistance under tension. Idea is that u contracting against the stretch sends signals to your muscle to relax, so when you stop pushing against the stretch your muscle lengthens to avoid injury

[@mariearmstrong7718]

You’ve started a great new trend! Love gymnastics!

[@clarasarria9397]

You two are perfect together

[@sophieedmenson7126]

The stretch that your on about in the vlog is called the PNF stretching. I do A-Level PE and this stretch allows you to stretch further like you said!

[@theRealccb83]

the second natural and personable person on yt ... don't let her go! good job

[@rickjbradbury]

The name for the stretch where you take it to the point of max stretch , relax and resist against presure it is PNF Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation If I remember correctly. Use to use it back in my martial arts days. It's designed basically to bypass the bodies safety warning which make your muscles fire when working to maximum stretch. Best done with a partner you trust and not someone who will jump on your legs. Trust me. Great video so watch, you two are great together.

[@Nabbo892]

I've just bought the sports bra that Emily is wearing. Been looking at one of those types for ages, made up you're doing great things with Gymshark 💪💪

[@daniellefrank2996]

Answer to stretching question! PNF stretching. It’s a contract relax technique. Ps love you guys! Always great content !

[@heikebecher6600]

Ihr seid zwei ganz Liebe….sehr erfrischend euch zuzusehen, vielen Dank.

[@gavinarber8802]

@nile great to see you happy and doing something you love

[@keirahealy7082]

I ❤️❤️❤️ this video!!!! I do gymnastics 🤸‍♀️ too so that’s why I love 💗 all Nile videos!!! And to be honest I think he would be a awesome gymnastics coach in the future!!!

[@diviandrycardona1872]

Thanks for sharing!

[@staticjump]

PNF stretching. Proprioceptive neuro muscular facilitation. hold for about five seconds under tension, relax. Take it further and repeat about 4 times. Usually used in fitness to increase flexibility of a weak muscle group. Most often hamstrings. Athletes (fighters) tends to be groin and adductors (splits and ting).

[@coachmatt7375]

It's called reciprocal inhibition when one muscle stretched and the other relaxes. Like when you stretch your pectorals the muscles in your back ie lats and rear delts will relax

[@joemacavinta9736]

My goodness you two are so cute together! Great video!

[@APG_Adventures]

Well done Nile coming through for the boys!!

[@Thelandoftoaster]

I've been waiting to order the bands until Emily released a code bc i wanted to support her but its great to know that its her own business.

[@YariitaxFarro22]

I miss Ash showing off🤣🤣

[@GhostRillley]

🤣

[@allanilulu4992]

The type of stretch you were talking about (taking it to a point, contracting the muscle, then relax into the stretch) is PNF 🥰 loving your videos guys!

[@cb3806]

Love these! Thanks.

[@elliottcharlesreed]

You give me such Syndicate vibes loooool, love this

[@danipegram4243]

The stretch is called PNF when you go in to the position then hold then go against a for then hold x

[@NugentsOsteopathy]

The muscle engage at the barrier is called Post Isometric Relaxation

[@dortsein9543]

7:51 proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation

[@JessieChinjcseattle]

In OMT (osteopathic manipulative treatment) there is treatment that has the same principle, it's called muscle energy with post-isometric relaxation. That's pretty cool that different disciplines have similar techniques.

[@lpieps4711]

Yay! The intro is back!!!

[@Nicesmile13]

Brilliant, love the videos!

[@elliefaith9812]

7:52 - Nile I reckon it’s Proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) stretching that you’re talking about 😄 Thank you for the awesome videos from you and Emily - you guys are fantastic role models for sport!

[@lassealward2234]

sounds more like post isometric relaxation

[@petrsvetr01]

The stretching technique is called PNF. Great vid btw. :)

[@RSS5432]

I don't know when this was filmed but if it is current, I would be interested in hearing the reasoning behind travelling during a pandemic and whilst there is a 'stay at home' public health message.

[@dijay8822]

He said he’s doing ‘business’

[@Power_Knaap_Coaching]

Pnf stretching is what it's called Nile. My hamstrings and hip flexors are extremely tight, pnf stretching with a friend really helps.

[@7clicksfitness458]

proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) is the sort of stretching I believe you’re talking about! Top effort!

[@bethvansoup]

“Look at the state of your eyeballs!” 👀

[@adithyaresik7273]

[@richardgodfrey9838]

Contracting against a stretch and then being able to stretch further is a form of PNF (proprioceptive neuromuscular fascilitation).

[@stevenmcmorn3534]

What a cracking couple, they compliment each other perfectly.

[@aidangriffiths5075]

Proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation or pnf stretching is what you were talking about Nile 🤙

But seriously you guys are awesome, relationship goals for sure, keep being great, dont stop doing what you love and never ever stop encouraging others, you're so good at it. I used to dance, do gymnastics and played a Bunch of sports, the lifestyle is so beneficial in so many ways and I wish more people were as involved as the two of you! Rant over, peace out!
