If you're not flexible, watch this

[@startoftheseason6995]

Once again Hallease is looking beautiful🥰. How lucky is Mr Hallease ya’ll?

[@hallease]

Somebody go tell him that. (I'm kidding, he knows.)

[@whenyouwishuponastar6643]

In a separate note, your hair is absolutely beautiful!

[@hallease]

😎

[@yanikeonpurpose]

... but you’re already flexible!!! I could tell when you were doing the up & down dog poses. Your spine is way more flexible than average, your upperback region also is very flexible. My back doesn’t bend nowhere near as much. If you invested more into becoming flexible you’d probably be able to do it easy. 😊

In a respectful way, Hallease dat body is BANGING!

[@hallease]

In a respectful way, thank you!

[@FlexNFly]

Yesss I just shot a whole bunch of stretches to help with this. Love seeing you doing this Hallease! Please add the frog pose. It's amazing for Flexibility in the hips. And stay I. Child's pose when you're in pain. Be gentle and kind to yourself.

[@Hello-rq9yx]

😂😂😂how funny. Back home, the frog jump is actually usually used as a punishment.

[@bornearth]

Sit on the floor more instead of always being on the couch. You are more likely to stretch naturally when in the floor...or you think "I might as well stretch since I'm down here. "

[@insulaarachnid]

I am so out of shape right now after watching the first 30 seconds and then pausing it to see what I could currently do, I have learned some things. 1st thing: Hallease is in much better shape than me, 2nd: Trying to attempt this at 2am after snacking on crisps, cheese & biscuits probably wasn't an ideal time to try this, who knew?! * Should add that like Hallease I have also never been particularly flexible but I am in my early 40's, WTF was I thinking would be the outcome!

[@hallease]

😅😅😅😅😅😅 Please don't let me be the reason you injure yourself! Stretch responsibily

[@insulaarachnid]

@@hallease Don't worry the only injury acquired was to my ego/distorted sense of physical fitness. I think my first step is to start walking regularly again a couple of times a week for like 30 - 45 minutes per walk, just to get everything flowing again.

[@moi2995]

Girl your videos are so soothing. You've got me wanting to b able to do the splits again. Mind you, I was 10 when I used to be able to and it's 30 years later 😂😂😂😂

[@MzKegz]

I've been stretching every morning and every night, I interchange between my upper and lower body. I just listen to my body and decide what to stretch depending on what it is telling me

[@MamacitaNatural]

I seriously thought you were older...you come across way more mature than most ppl still in their twenties

[@JubeiKibagamiFez]

5:51 Yeah... 30 days seems a bit aggressive for the less flexible people. I've always been naturally flexible, but with that, it still might be too much to quick. There;s not suppose to be a huge amount of pain when you stretch. You're suppose to feel the stretch and hold it at that point.

[@lovebug6388]

Warm up: 10-15 minute brisk walk or jog. This loosens up your hamstrings and quadriceps. Stretches: pigeon stretch, squat hold with using arms to push legs outward, hurdle stretch (leg behind and in front), seated toe touch, butterfly hold and splits. Hold each stretch 20-30 seconds. Halfway through inhale and then exhale deeper into the stretch. Slowly come out of each one and transition into the next. Make flexibility more about functionality and mobility and it will seem less of a chore. Another tip, after a hot shower or bath is another good time to stretch due to the muscles being warmed up. And this reduces stress levels and improves sleep. Also, if you have a partner, he can help you stretch but only if he knows what he is doing.

[@corazoncha8963]

This is so awesome, thank you! I was just telling my aunt today I have zero flexibility. I am so inspired!

[@313chantel]

I have recently really gotten into stretching, I’m 28 so I’m not a flexible as i was when i was younger. It started off that i just wanted to do the splits but now it’s turned kinda meditative to me. I finding joy to see how far i can’t push my body. I’m a month in and i love it, plenty sore days but as I’m seeing the progress it’s all worth it. Keep at it

[@Ji-wz7ys]

Hallease, melanin POPPIN' sis!

[@stephaniemiw]

What a coincidence, I'm on day 18 of my "splits training". Also, Cousin Evelyn is also the reason I started listening to sound baths 😌 Also, I'm 36 and 4'9" 😅

[@janellepaige]

thanks, hallease! i've been staying active through blogilates during these quarantimes and have been following her off and on for several years. her challenges are great!

[@hallease]

It's amazing, I had never heard of her until I started looking for methods on how to learn the splits.

[@msandrews87]

Hallease, I just have to say that your personality is very sweet and you have an amazing body!! Just beautiful sis.

[@yhababy01]

Love the sound bath suggestion! Very relaxing.

[@ginagina]

Hallease! This is unrelated, but I suddenly felt this life desire like, I WANT TO WORK FOR STUMBLEWELL. I think I'm just appreciative of how smooth your storytelling feels through its cinematography & editing. I know it's just an impulse, yet it felt too sweet to keep. Your work is beautiful

[@malkiabenzy]

I love. Oh, and your music selection... be on point!

[@TheRadicalRevert]

Funnily enough (probably due to rona) I'm also working on flexibility. Im 31, 5ft11 and grew quickly, my ligaments are tight! I would like to be able to do the splits but just focusing on keeping back long and straight as well as the hips. Side note: watched you videos for years now, always enjoy the music you put in. Stay safe xx

[@yayyouknowitsj9]

i know it might sound a little crazy, but a major help to my flexibility journey has been learning how to incorporate diaphragmatic breathing practices into my stretches and yoga (big words for: breathing from your diaphragm haha). we have so much built up air in our bodies and rarely utilize our full capacity of breathing - especially when working out, we often take even shorter breaths - most of us breath from only our lungs (yes yes, lungs are for breathing haha but we can also breath from our diaphragm & stomach if we practice new habits haha nobody come for me haha) it really helps you rest into those toughs stretches a little bit more. love your videos hallease, thank you for sharing your chaotic good life with us 💞

[@ChoglitParis]

I could always do the right split but not the left. I always said my right leg was stronger. I did cheer. But I wasn’t the most flexible, just use to stretching. Now I’m 30. Not near as flexible as I was. I had back pain these last few years and a chiropractor told me I had spinal trauma from cheer. After a month of back pops I’m actually more flexible than I was in high school. Who knew i was putting up withy back pain all these years. Now I stretch faithfully every morning.... your right it does center you! 🧘🏾‍♀️

[@hallease]

As y'all could probably see, my right split is WAY better than my left one.

[@melissateat9953]

This is great. I’m going to start stretching before bed. I can imagine how it can be therapeutic and maybe help with sleeping

[@roziestubbz]

Please do an update, I started that challenge but I have not finished but I do it again! Your progress was so great!!!

[@betje87]

I follow a deep stretch classes twice a week. I do pole dancing, dancing and pilates next to that. With pole dancing we train kinda heavy so if I don't stretch extra, I will lose my flexibility. For some moves it is necessary to be able to bend your back, legs or arms in a certain way. I'm also 30 and only have been doing this for about 1 year actively (pilates 2-3 years). You make lovely videos btw.

[@sharbennappy]

Thanks for the inspiration Hallease!

[@TheDKShow]

I’m with you on the struggle for flexibility. I’d like to try this!

[@aliciaarcher]

HALLEASE!! I wish I saw this video sooner! I danced my entire life, but was never able to do the splits. And when I went to college for dance, I was still in pursuit. During the blackout of I think was in 2003, I finally got my right front split. And I was maybe 20. Then I was 28/29 when I took a silks class at a pole studio. And I took my first official flexibility class. That was a wrap: before you know it I was seeing contortion coaches and taking workshops. With that said, I know how tedious the process of becoming flexible as an adult can be. I would love to connect, and help with zee flexy! ✨🙆🏽‍♀️

[@hallease]

🌾🌾👀🌾🌾

[@aliciaarcher]

Hallease sent you a DM on IG! ✨

[@TerikaHaynes]

After a run I always feel so much better with my overall health

[@staygroovybritt]

Your videos are so relaxing and enjoyable to watch. I’m going to try this challenge 🤸🏾‍♀️ Also, how do you run in this Texas heat?? 😩

[@hallease]

I run in the mornings before 10am and I pray for God to grant me mercy lolol

[@nolarastagoddessroyalty6935]

Thank you for sharing! Really enjoyed hearing your spin on it and yes I really believe in and appreciate the Journey!! I remember I asked a younger person how she can she knell down for a long time and not get tired!? She said ms Lee if you can’t do that then you need to exercise it was so funny because she was respectful but honest!!! 😂😂😂

[@unapologeticmoi]

Liked seeing your progress

[@brieoliver]

THANK YOU! I've been trying to incorporate some exercising into my routine, but admittedly get overwhelmed with trying to keep up with these online workouts lol. I'd like to do this challenge. This seems doable!

[@ChloeRaeofSunshine]

I'm also on a journey to the splits as well so I'm super happy you uploaded this 🥰

[@hallease]

Yay, split twins!

[@deegee8023]

You truly are binge worthy 😄

[@Bindi_Marc]

This music is a while vibe. The beginning of the video gave me life. (now on to the rest of the video)

[@SimplyElan]

I really enjoyed this! I am working on my flexibility as well and what helps me is just to stretch at least twice during the day. For example, I work on my splits for 20 minutes in the morning and for 20 minutes at night. I’m almost there too LOL!

[@jessrena5185]

Nice video, your skin is so gorgeous 😍 Speaking of soothing...your voice 🙋🏾‍♀️🤗

[@Tishalocs]

I literally was like its time for Hallease to release some new content. Lol. Right on time and we are on the same page with flexibility and I’m 40! Keep it up!!

[@hallease]

🌾🌾👀🌾🌾 When the subscribers low-key figure out the schedule without you ever announcing one...

[@Tishalocs]

Hallease you and Beleaf are legit the reason I started vlogging. I wanted to explore my creative side and watching you guys helped me do that. I know nothing about photography and video, but I’ll learn. Blessings to you.

[@JubeiKibagamiFez]

Also, the type of slit you're trying to do has a lot to do with bone structure. You have to be careful with stress on your lower back. Make sure you are contracting your glute of the back leg.

[@sanjaybhatikar]

You are so inspiring! 👌

[@luvlocs06]

I'm in my early 40s and have never been flexible. Your day 1 would be my day 60!🤣 Thank you for another great video!

[@DJSteenie]

You had me at twisty thing

[@hallease]

😎

[@tiffanywu8315]

I took a flexibility class once when I had Class Pass. It hurt so bad.. the teacher would come around and push you down lower or pull your leg back more and ahhhhhh my flight instincts were kicking in.

[@semt9]

Longtime blogilates fan but i've never tried that challenge. Im also 30 and working on my flexibility so i'll give it a go

[@TheJasmaree]

Them sound baths were a game changer

[@hallease]

Definitely. I do one at least once a week now.

[@SabineOh]

I'm not flexible at all, I clicked immediately lol. Im watching as I typed this to see if it actually helps you. I gave up years ago after physical therapy just was not cutting it.

[@loverofmysoul8742]

I occasionally watch Afro in heels here on KZbin because it seems all of the women, no matter age, shape and size can do splits. I feel like there must be some tricks we don't know.

[@Topself24]

Now that’s a Queen

[@sweetemme2949]

Im intrigued! I have been exercising lately, about every other day, walking or running. My hips are consistently sore and I wonder if this stretch challenge will help. In regards to muscle recovery I make sure that I have a whey protein shake or L-glutamine to help my body. You should look into vitamins and supplements for muscle recovery.

[@hallease]

The biggest issue I had was over extending - which caused more soreness but if you're goal is just to stretch in general then it should help.

[@yayan281]

I’m 21 and finally trying commit to getting flexible to practice yoga in the way I want to. I loved this video. There’s a an Instagram page called inflexibleyogis that it super inspiring you guys should check it out.

[@Martina_E]

Where did you get the lightweight hoops ?

[@michelea2326]

Did you guys move again? Your place looks like a cool downtown loft apartment.

[@kiaraanderson7767]

🦋🦋Lovely video. I am far less flexible than you so it would probably take me 12mo to get a split. Lol. Good luck to u & pace urself. Bless up😁🦋🦋

Your starting already way better than me😪

[@dianaruzage6243]

Tell us more about your speed runs. Do you do much to push endurance?

[@hallease]

Eh, I just follow the Nike Run Club app

[@cantay83]

Just discovered your channel and love it!!! I follow Ally Trout on IG and she's in her 40s and killing it with the stretches/yoga. She shows where she started and where she's at now. She's funny, likes to stretch in her bikini sometimes and loves tequila

[@QueenZsWorld]

everyone i've seen trying to hit the splits in 30 or less days has gotten injured...

[@hallease]

It's a very epic goal if you're not naturally flexible so that makes sense

[@lacyamiamadre3466]

💓

[@milkshakelulu]

I've been doing this for about three weeks now and its like one side of my body is less flexible than the other 😩

[@hallease]

Same youll notice my right split is exponentially better than my left split

[@insulaarachnid]

Oh forgot to add, if Chris is going to smugly grin & give sarcastic thumbs up then where is his documented attempt at the splits hey? :-)

[@hallease]

YOOOOOO, lemme go tell him what you said right quick because the sarcasm with this Taurus is OFF THE CHARTS.

[@_BrittanyElle]

But the real question... sex. Has it benefited??
