Hip Flexor Tightness

[@See_K]

I feel pain doing every one of your stretches. And it makes me sad bc I'm 23 years old and I went from very flexible child to this just bc of manual work. But I'm also glad I found this channel bc it explains things very well . I really appreciate the content and help u give to others. ❤️

[@casuallymika]

Stretching shouldn't feel painful, you should only be feeling some discomfort. Please don't hurt yourself, and I hope your flexibility comes back quickly!

[@See_K]

@@casuallymika I'm sure it will, thank you. Also it's not like painfully painful,its just a reaction on how lazy I was about movement for past few years I guess. I'm not gonna hurt myself, bc I'm trying to make myself better bkt worse

[@mrbigsmile3902]

Maybe more warm up helps?

[@naisaShip]

same!!!!! I'm sitting all the time and doing nothing because I'm SO anxious and I feel like I'm becoming ill. I gotta start moving. I'm pretty flexible still but I'm in pain because I'm rusty.

[@based_prophet]

Might want to learn to walk first no offence most ppl don't understand walking potential when fully comprehended in one's personal life , in 3 years I had to relearn to walk twice from being a pro skater by 16 lol 😆 I'm laughing at my self here I'm 35 n had to fight for life or death against men and self recovery is mental physical n spirit driven ..this guy is a bodhisattva of stretching teaching

[@wwerdo4]

I honestly don’t know how my guy just presses his bare knees into the hard floor like that…

[@wendywoohooo]

fr man, i had to grab a pillow😂

[@skye387]

I literally got my ligament torn from doing knee push-ups without pillow. It's still healing now.

[@quantashonjamaldigglerbury4934]

@@skye387 What in the fuck. How are you 3 even able to fucking walk and live if you're knees are that soft. I've done these sorts of stretches many times knee push ups i only did when i was obese. Nothing ever happened to my knees. Nowadays i also do a lot of muay thai conditioning and shaolin iron knee training and iron fist training.(Fuck no im not doing "iron face" training)

[@suneelj93]

Bro only weighs like 150lbs. I’m 199lbs so it hurts way more on hard wood

[@osuplaeyurreallygood]

@@suneelj93 bro im 110lbs and it STILL hurts like hell it's not a weight thing lol

[@Alexanderthegreat159]

I'm glad I found this channel, I'm a big guy and I work and exhausting job so finding someone for stretching that I can find easy to understand ways to help with my pains, are amazing

[@gariden]

i’m predisposed to tight and clicky, sore joints (and boy did i feel that in puberty) but these stretches are actually so helpful. i already stretch (because i do not desire pain) but you’re adding new ones to my arsenal and telling me exactly where it will help. think you.

[@Ton-df2um]

Dude thank you for everything you do. I know you probably get this a lot, but your videos have really motivated me and have helped me with my progression into trying to get more fit and healthy. Thanks for everything you do and for being you! :)

[@GaneshMKarhale]

Your flexibility tips are great. But I just want to touch my toes without pain.

[@zovcuu]

That’s crZy if u actually feel pain 😭

[@aireh2535]

@@zovcuu everyone starts at different places. There’s no need to be judgemental towards someone trying to improve.

[@madeofcastiron]

the key is consistency. i used to just be able to touch my thighs, but after just a week of stretching daily (and only for like 5 mins a day), i can already touch my toes. i still feel some pain, but i’m sure it will go away if i continue stretching.

[@happuhelon]

He actually made a short about this though! It’s a hamstring stretch, one leg at a time, and you start with tiptoeing and therefore bending that leg. Then slowly bend down with your back straight/elongated and butt out until you feel a stretch on your hamstrings. 15 reps each leg, but do an extra 5 if either leg is more tight. I’ll try to link the short if i can find it but hopefully the yt algo sends it your way too!

[@madeofcastiron]

@@happuhelon i think it’s the one where he calls it a “hack/cheat/trick” to be able to instantly touch your toes. i’ve been doing that stretch as well, and it’s really helped a lot in improving my flexibility.

[@shipweck6253]

I don’t know if you already made a video about it, but could u make a video showing how to stretch the things needed to kick more wide and higher? I’ve been doing tae kwon do for a little bit and have some trouble doing high roundhouse kicks, as well as side kicks. I don’t know what I can do to stretch the things I need to kick higher, so it’d be really cool if you could show it.

[@spotat6234]

I also have trouble with kicks :/ for roundhouse kicks, I think hip mobility and flexible hamstrings are important though

[@justananimeguy3804]

Try leg raises and just stretch your hamstrings

[@vkngsent.1849]

You’re literally my favorite influencer now, thank you

[@samiamparrotcan]

I have yet to do a single one of the stretches shown on your channel but I continue to like them all and follow your updates as one day I intend to get Flexi... Just probably not today. Keep the content up though love what you do and the clear explanations for them all

[@Thaatgirrrrlllll234]

I would literally take classes from you if you were local to me. This is so cool

[@melwasnevergivenaname]

I've downloaded all the free guides and I am so incredibly thankful and so excited when a new one comes out!! Thank you!!

[@duck114]

Dude, I love your channel. I'm a naturally flexible person and have a lot of trouble with pain in the joints, but your exercises have helped me a lot with it, especially the back and shoulder ones. Thank you very much, stay flexy!

[@kayleighbradbury9287]

Mr. Flexy. I am so grateful for the motivation your videos bring me. This one in particular, I can't wait to try. My hips are killer. They Hurt! All the time. So, someone literally showing me what to and how to do a stretch for it....I am excited to try it and hopefully see some relief in the future! Keep up the good work!!

[@Kino1211]

I need to start doing these! This kid knows what he's talking about.

[@LazyLaw-]

This channel is the greatest thing KZbin ever recommended to me

[@morifutai1916]

I tried this and I haven't felt so much pain in my life I wasn't ready

[@JohnSmith-uw4jp]

Is it dangerous ?

[@jacksonmanitoulinisland]

I agree, tried it and holy shit im in pain

[@WomenRQueensNMyFaceIsTheThrome]

Reminding myself that even if i see improvements immediately compared to before, that i still need to do it daily to still progress and keep it that way

[@themarliecase8311]

Holy crap them QUADSSSS good gains brother good gains

[@ookai1929]

Man that book is really good. Thanks. I couldn't decide what excercises i should do in beginning.

[@triskey1]

Thanks I'm not even 40 and have a screwed up spine that requires me to do tons of physical therapy. I gotta wake up 2 hours early before work just for stretching and to get moving, I've been getting bad sciatica and hip pains - kind of scares me having my hips popping out of place at such a young age, about to go find your hip mobility e-book : ) I'm glad I found your channel - I literally spend 10-20% of my days stretching/physical therapy, have been humiliated and harassed at work beyond belief - like I'm not allowed to stretch 1-2x every 8-12hrs!!!!? I ended up blowing up on them and almost sued them (probably should have) but they leave me alone now and I've gained so much strength over the nearly 2 years I've been working this horrible job. I have an extra vertebrae and Spina bifida epifida and a fused vertebrae and I'm pretty sure some kind of degenerative/rheumatism disease and/or neuralgia (there's no obvious visible deformities). Despite my problems, I think chemical toxins and synthetic stuff (and gmo tech) in our food - just toxins everywhere getting inside us from every direction cause pain and inflammation (not to mention mental/physical and hormonal chemical imbalance). I replaced 20% of my diet with herbal medicine and have *almost never felt better (lol maybe as a preteen). Just started on guggulu, it's supposed to help scrape toxins from the joints and increase joint mobility and facilitate movement.

[@Mirin_the_Witch]

Oh wow, I really needed this. I have had problems with tight hip flexors for a long time, but I struggled to find a stretch that wouldn't make me compensate by putting pressure on my lower back (very sensitive after an old injury). This is something I can do regularly and safely.

[@419]

You can just tell he knows the whole Kamasutra. That's one good reason to be flexy for sure 😂

[@ariellewis2016]

Your kid is gonna be be in your videos one day and I’m so excited

[@MrMagooReturns]

Watching these videos, I always feel like bim getting hidden knowledge. Love it.

[@Fathead0_0]

OMFG YOURE A GAME CHANGER I LIVE YOU OFMG I LOVE YOU SO MUCH🥲 Ik ppl might think this is weird but y’all have no clue how hard it is for me to shift around and stretch into those positions. I’m gonna literally binge all of their shii bruh. This is where I belong

[@HalcyonSpirit141]

You've introduced me to a realm of stretching that I didn't know was possible😂

[@beeankha]

You can also regress the couch stretch by doing it against a chair if the wall is too intense! So your foot isn't getting pressed against the wall.

[@hanoli7933]

Making a book thats free, amazing!

[@josh_ets]

That’s one way to flex having nice quads

[@AlejandroSanchez-xn4zz]

Such a timely vid! Thanks for your work, David 🙌🏼☀️

[@chileluvr]

One video. One, and i knew i need this guy in my life! Lol😂

[@ddeokbokki007]

Haha cool way to change ur pants! Awesome vid as always! Stay flexi!

[@anastasiaashunina_a3]

You are just great! I‘m a trainer as well and can tell…you do it so smooth and just keep me motivated to go further and not to do only my swimming/riding/skating routine…I started to do more stretching also in time when I occasionally see your shorts😂I like your attitude and how you explain the information. You show and explain! This is how it works! Great!

[@doublea125]

Dude my quads already felt like they were going to snap like a rubber band from just watching you do the couch flex. Guess I need to do your program you mentioned.

[@bebenine]

You are badass, sir! Thanks for the content

[@maggie1470]

I so wish more people knew this! Have more flexible hip flexor can help immensely with low back pain

[@GivaKit]

I do not have words to describe how much i hate the wall stretch, but there i am doing every training session and it really works 😅

[@srStinnky]

Your videos are always so fresh! Just downloaded the hip mobility e-book, I just have a couple of questions on which are the exercises I asume you’ve posted videos already of all the workouts, maybe next e-book you could set links to the videos in the name of the exercises 🤔 I’m starting tomorrow (today is already late and time to sleep) ✌🏼😎

You're killing me. All of this is very painful

[@gymnast8865]

That is truly some great great great advice

[@desodenis]

I qm so glad I found this channel. Bodyweighy activities seem so much more fun than bodybuilding even tho I am working out for bigger muscles. I am adding flexibility to my workouts and its been a few days i already love it even though the only move I can do is reaching the floor😆

[@mariathomas3419]

Hi there, I've just found you on here and love all your advice and knowledge. I suffer all the time with my hips and lower back pain due to sciatica. I really think your videos will help but being a dinosaur I'm not sure how to get the ebooks....

[@alex18771977]

Nice videos, man. And very useful. Thanks

[@jamesestrada7956]

just watched every single one of ur videos. i am now in love with you man. you are so rad. i still stretch now. ✌🏽🤠

[@sean640]

I downloaded the free ebook from the links on your page cause Im almost 30 and skateboarding really needs hip rotation and I really need not sore hip joints

[@LesIsMoreTube]

You rock! Thank you.

[@based_prophet]

I had dancer hip for years you fucking fixed it lol 😆

[@aaronadkins9434]

Tried the "elephant walk" stretch and immediately felt relief from lower back pain. My quads and hamstrings are super tight which causes the lower back pain according to my chiropractor. Stretching the right way and the right areas is life changing!!!

[@buck_up]

this is my favorite stretch and I've gained a lot of mobility from it almost instantly

[@Alleellaa]

Can you add *a link to the ebook* to the *description* please? I’d love to see it! 😊

[@Alleellaa]

My bad, it seems the link _is _ “listed in the description”. I was just looking in the _current video_ description. I actually like the way it’s listed now, directing to the free ebooks page. For dummies like me, you might consider adding it to both places, so they don’t get confused. Thank you for sharing great content!

[@CoolKidJohn]

I love how he does this in his kitchen

[@gigasigma3507]

WHERE BOOK PLEASE??!!

[@jessicagutierrez2989]

Dear gods, I've been looking for a good hip flexor stretch. These bad bois are tighter than my hamstrings in the mornings 😅 I always have ussues with them, but I'm so glad you made this!

[@Talk-Hub]

still have amazing mobility, my right leg is way more stretchy, props to my karate kicking days, no issue I can still reach the ground in a split

[@1brogi]

you need a wall, uses the refrigerator😂 dude, i really like your videos because of your humour. i never saw a person who is more flexy and has that many skills.

Thank you so much for this!

I feel a lot of pain in my knees doing this on the carpet but you’re doing it on the hard floor! 😮

[@GoblinPr88]

I can never seem to get a good hip flexor stretch (glute min/TFL) cuz my quads are too tight. I feel the stretch in mid-lower thigh before it ever gets to the actual hip. I'm not the flexiest, but I'm extra flexy in the hips, so stretching them is really difficult.

[@ashwinkarnik115]

Can you do something on ankle flexibility? My plantar and dorsiflexion are both terrible. In this video you have your foot flush against the wall, and mine simply does not do that. Sorry if you’ve already made something on ankles
