Thanks, Ash. This is really helpful. I was struggling with balancing my left side. I can’t believe that you are able to talk to give instruction while balancing on one foot! Good for you!

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

You're so welcome Grace, I’m glad I could help you have a good session and challenge your balance 😊 thanks for commenting 🙏 I love balance work, it’s an obsession because it’s helped me so much so I have a lot of practice 😃

[@gabrielsanmartin2333]

Always appreciate the reminders to smile during the workout.

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

Thank you Gabriel, glad you enjoyed this session with me and the prompts to smile 😊🙌🏻

[@colinandrewwallace1193]

Thanks Ash , well chuffed to get a mention, so much so that I had to.play it to Mrs W and the kids 😂 great session as well, going to use this for my dodgy hammy , thanks again mate , still smiling about the mention , made my day 👍🏼

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

No worries mate, glad you appreciate the mention and it made your day 😊 I want to help as much as possible so I did this with your hammy in mind as this will help strengthen the area 👍🏻

[@colinandrewwallace1193]

Thanks again mate 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@sleepdestroyer27]

Strength + Flexibility = Mobility! Love it. Nice hammy prehab just on time after a big leg and glute day 🦵 Hips and hammies are always the crispiest for me!

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

Thank you, so glad you love that! So good to see you doing this type of work as well, well done! I appreciate all your support in the comments 🙏😊

[@colinandrewwallace1193]

Rest day today due to a day full of meetings 😢 so this was perfect tonight , really feel these exercises are helping my dodgy hammy , thanks mate 👍🏼

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

That’s great to hear mate. Glad I could help your hammy out. Hopefully the work you’ve been doing starts to pay off. Hope you can get out for a run and a way from all those meetings!! 👍🏻😊

[@shannarahill3123]

Thank you for the video Ash! Really made me realise how much compensation my right side is doing for my left. Definitely a practise I’ll return to!

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

Thanks to you too Shannara, I'm glad you felt the benefits of this session and was able to notice the compensations. Thats such valuable body awareness that you can work on to balance out your body making it stronger and more injury proof 😀👍

[@little123DONS]

Thank you Ash! I’ve always struggled with ‘tight’ hamstrings, but after cramping on another video of yours, I realised I’m just weak! Gonna stick to this video a couple of times a week alongside my running during my off season from football :)

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

Fantastic body awareness. Love that. Well done for working on it now you are aware of it 🙌🏻😊

[@colinandrewwallace1193]

Thanks Ash , I'm trying to do this session every other day just now until I am happy with hammy, great exercises 👍🏼

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

Great idea mate. Hopefully you start to see a difference 👍🏻😊

[@belvillalobos]

Hey Ash!! Another great video! Thanks!! ❤

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

Thank you too as always Bel and well done for doing the strength work to keep your body strong and resilient 🙌🏻😊❤️

[@lesleybeckingham2147]

This was just what I needed, thanks Ash. My hamstrings are usually pretty flexible but I picked up a niggle on my 12km run yesterday (yes I use metric in running too!) so I searched your channel for something to help - and it has!

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

Fantastic! Glad this helped your hamstring Lesley. I find metric easier to visualise. I can sense what 1km feels like better than I can a mile 😊

[@lesleybeckingham2147]

Ditto! Plus they tick off quicker! Although in a marathon, 42 of them seems a lot more than 26 in miles!

[@mauriciojosericoquiroz4524]

Great job as always Ash!

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

Thank you Mauricio 🙏😊

[@saml903]

Thank you! Great to get some strength work in 😊

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

Absolutely! Thank you too as always 😊🙌🏻

[@daveweeden]

Thank you, Ash. Pretty sure I need to do this. Nice bit of stretching too, so this went well after a run. I agree with the comment below about the reminders to smile, please keep doing this and the reminders to breathe and relax other body areas. It all helps.

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

Thank you too Dave. I really appreciate all your feedback. It’s always great to see your comments popping up. Well done for doing this session 🙌🏻😊

Thank you Ash for a hamstring exercise.

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

You're so welcome as always William, I’m glad you enjoyed this hamstring session with me😊 thanks for commenting 🙏

[@lesleypratap8958]

Thanks Ash, I had been holding off from doing this one until I my hamstring injury was more recovered. It certainly was easier than it would have been a couple of months ago and will hopefully help on a regular basis. Interesting that my right side is usually my strongest but that's currently my injured hamstring so the intensity is maybe not as I would usually expect. I also agree with you about measurements - I run in km but almost everything else is imperial 😂 possibly down to age as well 😊

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

😂 age does that to us doesn’t it Lesley 😊 glad this helped your hamstrings. Well done for coming to it to strengthen the area. It’s so important 🙌🏻

[@karsenschafer-junger5868]

Hey Ash! Great video! Could I request a video that helps with tightness in our upper body due to running? I have loads of knots in my shoulders and neck I fear from running and would love your insight as alway

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

Absolutely Karsen, I shall add that into the recording list. I’m about 4 weeks up on schedule so it will be a few weeks before it comes through live on here. Thanks as always for your feedback and input 🙏😊

[@karsenschafer-junger5868]

@@RunBetterwithAsh I look forward to it! Thank you Ash! :)

[@colinandrewwallace1193]

Still pre/ re habbing with these exercises Ash 👍🏼

[@jaimemartinez455]

Hello Ash,new subscriber here. I was wondering if you have a rehab video for a sore Achilles tendon. Thank you.😢

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

Hello Jaime 👋 welcome to my KZbin community! I don’t have a rehab video for that but I have a few calves videos that may help. Obviously make sure you are able to do these from your local professional if you are having an issue with your Achilles.

Great vid Ash! Sunday I am going to run my first 10 km🤩

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

Woohoo!!! That’s very exciting Jildou 🎉 have an amazing time and good luck 🙌🏻😊

[@jildou97]

@@RunBetterwithAsh yess! Really looking forward to it. I trained consistently for the last months, so I know I can do it. I may have also signed up for a 10km race in June🤩👀

[@ricciread1184]

Great exercises thank you , my balance is pretty terrible though 😅

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

You're so welcome as always Ricci, I’m glad I could help challenge your balance, lots of gains to be made there 😊 thanks for commenting to let me know🙏

[@CLVUDXVS]

Hey Ash, I have some questions: do you have to warm up before doing these exercises? and can I workout/stretch after I have done these? or should I do it the day after? what do you recommend

[@RunBetterwithAsh]

Hey 👋 you don’t necessarily have to do a warmup as I ease into the exercises. If you have time you can do maybe 5 minute warmups (I have a few on my channel). Also, if you can stretch straight after that would be amazing. Hope this helps 😊

[@CLVUDXVS]

⁠@@RunBetterwithAshok thank you!!, would it be dynamic stretches you’d recommend then?
