Was struggling with hip/groin mobility when climbing, this routine has really helped open me up, I noticed a difference almost immediately!

[@michellebakerstoneledge]

Absolutely fantastic stretch series. TY Chase!

[@YellowRoseoftx]

Oh this one what I needed! Thank you😎

[@matthewwatson2977]

Great video mate ,feeling relaxed just watching

[@thomasmccabe5084]

Thanks. Just what I needed. I’m inspired.

[@emileeodell2159]

This was beyond helpful for opening up my hips more. Thank you so much for sharing these!

[@lizusedon9237]

So helpful thanks Chase 🙌🙌🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[@robertalynch5433]

Beautiful spot. I went on a 5 miler this morning and I really needed this.

[@ChrisTankCrasher]

Brilliant mate! Thank you.

[@michael3573]

I’m just getting into backpacking at 40 years old. I had no idea feet could go at such an angle to the ground. Who’d have thought backpacking would bring me to learn more about this body at my age. Thank you so much. Always learning.

This is great. Thank you.

[@amywilliams5233]

exactly what I was looking for! I mainly struggle on hikes with hip pain in the first few days and I can immediately tell how much help this is going to be for my trip this week. Thank you so much for making this video!

[@bovdogsandthewoods]

This channel is the one!

[@Dan-rm3um]

Love having my "weekends" on weekdays for a better assurance of solitude on the trails.

[@animal_cookie]

Thanks Chase! The last few weekends my hip/groin have been seizing up on me while hiking, this weekend the worst it's been. I have a doc appt in a couple of weeks but will be doing this + the daily movement routine until then. One thing was clear right away, my hips are *tight*

[@Arbie812]

Thanks, Chase.

[@gaylebeaudinette9639]

Watching another brilliant video thanks Chase, but I kept getting distracted by all that beauty around you! Well done mate!.

[@dierijkdrent9921]

These look great, thx Chase!

[@ChaseMountains]

I'm adding a 25 minute version of this to hike strong. I think it will round out the program nicely!

[@skyblue-lb9kr]

Thank you! it's nice to help the chiropractor :)

[@BeGrateful318]

Thank you I just completed it after a long hike, it's great!

[@ChaseMountains]

How was the kid sit? 🤣

[@Jessica-ld4bs]

That kid sit is a demon, wow. I felt every hour I've ever spent at a desk. Great exercises!

[@lenaraffa4795]

Thanks for this. I am a hiker and powerlifter /bodybuilder of Over 30 years. My mobility Is terrible this is a great help🙏

[@ChaseMountains]

are you still hitting this? heres a gentle reminder if not 🙃

[@AnthonyJohnson1]

Another really helpful video thanks Chase. I’ve been following some of your workouts as part of my preparations to walk the Pennine Way this year. They’re definitely helping so many thanks 👍

[@ChaseMountains]

Oh nice! Glad it's helping! Pennie way looks cool, do you follow a channel called Wilderness Ways? He's got some videos on some great thru hikes in the UK.

[@AnthonyJohnson1]

@@ChaseMountains I do indeed. He’s a top bloke and we often catch up via Facebook etc. Keep up the great work 👍

[@ChaseMountains]

@@AnthonyJohnson1 oh that's nice to know! Enjoy the Pennie!

[@lamamasalmeh7323]

Thank ub

[@marcsampietro403]

[@JazzyTI]

Hi Chase, what stretching exercises to do when I have a pain in adductor muscles of the thigh? Can I do what you showed here?

[@tiffanywood3239]

Would you recommend that people do this after a hike to stretch or as conditioning to improve one's hiking?

[@matt6477]

👍thanks

[@The_LaZy_HiKeR]

Waiting patiently here for "Mountain Proof Shoulders"

[@garygardiner7999]

Hi , I suffer really bad Planter F . In my left foot , is there anything I can do to heal this , which is the best foot where for multiple long hikes Thankyou Gaz

[@galaxyfanfan2938]

I think I might have dislocated my hips at the end (I have never felt a more effective stretch in my life)

[@MrPag25]

Hey Chase, I had signed up for the Elements program, but I'm not able to see the full video in the App. Will it be available for Elements as well?

[@ChaseMountains]

Hahaha you are quick! Yes it will be added to the app version of Elements today.

[@MrPag25]

Hahaha.... I am always excited for your videos. They have changed the way I workout and hike. I am absolutely loving it and I haven't injured myself in a long time while hiking.

[@robertalynch5433]

I just bought the knee strength program. Is the 25 minute version in that program?

[@ChaseMountains]

Its just been added under menu - extras!

[@carlaruckerl4883]

I wasn't able to do the kid sit ... Are these exercises save to do with a hip dysplasia? Some movements were slightly painful :/

[@ChaseMountains]

like I said, ease off a bit and work in a pain free range, The kid sit... its a bit of a flex, a long term goal perhaps.

[@scottryan7159]

Just a heads up to be careful with the "kid sit". It's also called a "W" sit and is known to put a lot of pressure on the hip socket if taken to far. Some people can do this without causing damage, but many people have minor (or major) impingements in their hips that will cause damage to the hip joint if they go too far. My wife has practiced yoga for most of her adult life, hyper flexible, but has now had one hip surgery (at 38), with another surgery on the other hip coming in the next 5 years.

[@ChaseMountains]

True, I think I might have the old Celtic hips as well, but yeah it's not gonna be accessable to everyone. Just something to explore.

[@infra_r3d133]

Hmmm. “W sitting” or the “kid sit” for an adult might not be a bad idea, but please don’t let your kids sit this way…developing hip joints will thank you later! Cross-legged sitting is a much better alternative for kids (and most adults) as External Rotation is much easier on the tendons, ligaments, and joint capsule. (And typically lacking in most Westerners) That much Internal rotation range of motion (from W sitting) is way outside what would be considered necessary ROM even for high level activity such as outdoor activities and sport-related activity. I’m not trying s* on you routine brother I had no problems with any of the other stretches in this video! Good content!

[@lilbritstar]

Fuck me dude, mind blowing content. Many, many thanks

[@myglorialife7395]

I have a tight glute. Do you have a video to help stretch the area?

[@ChaseMountains]

Heyy! Here's an old one that I unlisted because its crappy quality but it's what you're after! they go from easy to hard I believe kzbin.info/www/bejne/f6PaonWal9Wspbc

[@jasonburke4665]

Is it dangerous to allow your knees to extend beyond your toes with any exercises?

[@seaotter52]

No it's not typically dangerous. Just don't force it in the beginning. Your knees go past the toes often in the course of the day. Look at what happens when you squat down or go down a hill. As a teenager in the 60s, the coaches never stressed that. Both Chase and the Knee over Toes Guy and Squat University and others have shown that it is not a dangerous thing to do if done properly. Edit. Like so many things, it is dependent upon the exercise you're doing and the weight involved. Be smart and take it slow and measured.

[@chrisswan4257]

I know this is meant to be for hips but doing this routine seems to have pretty much sorted a knee problem that I've had for nearly three years. I've had loads of physio and advice but nothing has helped as much as doing this.

[@LorenzoCucurachi]

Was it PFPS???

[@chrisswan4257]

@@LorenzoCucurachi not sure what that is. A scan showed wear behind the patella. I felt like there was a lot of tension and inflammation but these exercises really helped alongside transitioning to barefoot running!

[@LorenzoCucurachi]

@@chrisswan4257 did you get rid of the pain? Can you exercises without pain now?

[@chrisswan4257]

@@LorenzoCucurachi yes. I have to keep on top of my game though. If I don't do these stretches the pain sneaks back. But it's more holistic than that. I've started from the feet up. Check out some of the vids on chase mountains about strengthening feet and ankles. That was the starting point for me when things started to improve. The hip stretches were the icing on the cake and I noticed a big decrease in pain. Now running 3 times a week (barefoot)! Cheers Chase! 👍

[@kasianfranmitja5298]

Whats that shirt ur wearing?

[@ChaseMountains]

Devold merino wool hoodie :)

[@abigailmorgan3400]

Love how you can do that barefoot without getting a goat’s head burr or fifteen in your foot. 😆

[@beautifulperson081]

I can't even get into the kid sit!!!

[@Bert_Sherbet]

It's actually bad for your legs/knees this position in this excise it actually deforms your body.. Good Luck guys..

[@ChaseMountains]

No such thing as a bad position, only bad preparation.

[@dierijkdrent9921]

Yeah...deforms it in a good way!

[@ChaseMountains]

@@dierijkdrent9921 ahahha the couch and desk is what actually deforms you 🤣

[@wyokid5552]

I've been told this by several people, but have been doing this kid sit all my life (much easier for me than a lotus sit). Never did give it up. I turn 58 in less than a month and still regularly hike 12 mile days with no leg or knee pain. So it sure seems like an urban myth to me.
