Wonder how to get flexible?
If you wonder how to get flexible fast, you’re watching the right video! This is a complete guide to increase your flexibility fast with scientifically proven methods and techniques. In this video, you’ll find a thorough analysis of everything you need to know in order to get flexible, whether you are a man or a woman of any fitness level.
Science of stretching - flexibility science:
After reviewing 32 recent studies, I was able to pull together all the vital aspects of a successful flexibility training program and put them in this dense presentation. In this video, you will find a full presentation of all these studies. Thus, the method that I present to you is based on the most solid and recent scientific evidence! If you’re interested in learning more about the science behind stretching, you can find the links to all the studies I presented in the description below.
How to increase flexibility fast for Beginners:
The most common mistake that beginners make while trying to get more flexible is searching for beginner stretch routines. The basic thing that you need to know is that the exercises that stretch the muscles that you want are not the only component of a flexibility training session. There are many other components that determine if your flexibility session will be successful or not. So the most important thing is to understand the whole concept of flexibility training from A to Z. Then, you’ll be able to use it in every muscle group and exercise. With the method that I’m presenting in this video, you’ll be able to get flexible in your legs, hips, arms, and back as quickly as possible. Thus, once you understand the key points of flexibility training, you’ll be able to use them in every muscle of your body according to your needs, whether you are flexible or inflexible.
How to increase flexibility fast for inflexible people:
Stop searching for ‘’stretches for the inflexible’’! If you’re inflexible you’re on the same journey that I used to be. Besides having a very inflexible body I managed to accomplice all my flexibility goals simply by using this method. Being inflexible simply means that you need more time and the right guidance. This video contains all the information that you need in order to transform yourself from inflexible to flexible!
2023 UPDATE! New Side Split Flexibility Program (6 more methods added):

-static stretching -30 sec. of stretching -5-10 minutes per week total stretching duration -(3 sets of 30 seconds for 6 days a week) / (or 3 session with 3 sets for 60 seconds) -total stretching duration is most important! -1-2 minutes rest between sets -gentle and control stretch = best results

After watching dozens of videos on flexibility over the years, this one was truly a delight. A concise review of science instead of mere feelings arisen from personal experience. I don't understand how I never searched for something like this even though I did on other areas of training. You did an excellent job here. I feel grateful for having found this, and for you having put this together. Best wishes!

@MegaSkilla thanks for the response I actually do use the sauna twice a week with immediate stretching right after.. honestly I think I push it too hard and while it’s counter intuitive i push it so far it’s causing me to regress. I’ve since lightened how hard I push it and I’ve made it past that plateau. I would stretch until it was painful and I’ve be sore from it as if I had done a vigorous workout. I can’t speak for everyone but in my case, less is more and more frequency has greatly benefited me! Thanks again!

Did it 3 times, put my hands flat on the floor and touched my knees with my head - and i am terribly stiff person. I will try the same routine for other body parts! What i always hated with stretching were excercises above my level too complex or uncomfortable to relax into - and this is just simple enough to start from any level of fitness.

Great video. It's amazing how in life we go around in circles before being able to remove all the chaff and coming back to the absolute basics.. what works! When I started martial arts 45yrs ago we'd alternate leg stretches for about 30s each side etc.. After years of trying all sorts including tortuous PNF stretching and holding static stretches for 5min+ (which totally screwed me up!) I'm back to restarting a bit of flexibility training and now because of this video going back to what worked in the absolute beginning.. and what felt right! What I never knew was that the consistency of time over the week was more important than long individual sessions.. 45yrs on and it finally makes sense! Thank you Yiannis for these videos.

This is amazing. It takes all my 6 months of researching flexibility through basic google search into a succinct 12 minute video. I just reached halfway through the video and it summarized all my efforts. I didn't even bother going into the scientific research papers so it's an added bonus. The graphs are also very helpful as it visualizes my week routine on paper. I just found you on KZbin and am wondering why I didn't get suggested this earlier! This is a wealth of information and you got my sub!

From watching this video five months ago, I drafted a stretching routine and applied it three to five times a week, each session no more than about 9 minutes long. I went from having really bad flexibility to sitting on the front split (both legs) as of yesterday, and nearly there with my middle split. One thing to add: on the months when I didn't measure how far I was stretching, I didn't improve--but on the months when I measured, I improved. Also, always warm up: it makes a difference with your progress, and makes the process safer! Thanks for the very useful information.

I think also he ment the time (9min/week) is for one specific muscle stretch. In my gym routine I have easy 7 exercises what leads to way more than one hour if ofcause some of the muscles you have double. The best tip for stretching from me is; use a interval timer on your watch or phone. Forget the time and be in your muscles with your thinking. For me 45sec. And 2 reps was good but I will try 30sec and 3 reps. (10sec break between to change muscle and or positions). Yes corona and homeoffice no gym is the killer for the hamstrings, but I am on it ;)

5-10 min per muscle per week. For splits I do: 1 min hamstring stretch 1 min hip flexor stretch 1 min (attempted) splits And repeat on the other leg. I do this 5 times a week so in total its 10 min per muscle per week.

I have no affiliation or benefits from saying this, but I have used this protocol that Yiannis suggests consistently for a month now. I practice middle split and I measure progress by putting the toe of my back feet against a wall, with my front foot I push away a box and then I measure the distance between the box and the wall. The lower I manage to split, the further the box is from the wall. After doing the protocol Yiannis suggests, I measured my first month about a 5cm increase in the above described distance. What I'd like to suggest is that with fairly minimal effort, and a great deal of simplicity, this protocol works well for me... the thing I found the hardest to believe (and also feared the most) is that I now do *light* stretches in stead of pushing to to my usual intermediate stretch intensity. But I'm now confident it's just a more intelligent approach to do light stretches for the lower extremities (with 'light' I mean: I stretch until I feel a stretch in my hamstring for example, but I don't push past that. It's a stretch I could easily hold for 3 minutes or more, whereas I used to push to the point where I could just barely hold it for the minute I needed) I see programs that make you believe you have to go through an incredible amount of exercises or 'time per stretch', overly complicate things for no real added result or suggest you'd have to do hard stretches that not only will push your progress back, but might lead you to injury as well. I believe all those more complex regiments can have a use, but for most mortals, with limited time (as in not being a full-time athlete), the protocol Yiannis suggests, seems to strip it to the bare minimal that gets you maximum results with just enough effort and minimal risk of injuries... I have nothing to sell or gain from saying this, but since KZbin is filled with so many things, and I have been looking for a long time for decent stretch programs / theories / research myself, I like to speak up for this author who bring actual intelligent and efficient programs, one that proves to work for me. Just be consistent and don't violate the 'minutes per week'-principle: my roommate does it less consistent than I do and there is a pretty big difference in result. Commit and consistently do your exercises... I'm pretty sure this protocol will bring you similar results to what I'm experiencing. If you doubt: do the measurement I suggested, try the protocol for two weeks, do the measurement again and you should be able to see the difference already after two weeks. Starting from say a 90° split, getting your full split might still take you 7 to 12 months, but at least you know you're doing something that works and that you're reaching your goal in pretty much the least time you can, with just the right amount of effort. For those curious: I'm now about at the same split as this video at 0:25... I rest my hands on paralettes that are 15cm high and my legs go well below the paralettes, so my crutch is probably about 10 cm from the floor, so a decently far, but not yet a complete split. So I'm just continuing the exercises until full split. But from tracking my progress with the above described measurement, it's easy to state this protocol works... better than what I tried up till now. I'll probably report back in a month or two. Thank you Yiannis and best of luck to all the brave and dedicated souls who are training their splits.

Wait a second I have too many questions after watching this video xd Are these tips meant for a regular person who is not too serious with flexibility training? Like if I want to get the flexibility of a contortionist, there is no way that 10 minutes of stretching per week would do it ?? (I recently read the contortionist handbook and it said that beginners should start with 1 hour per day moving to 2/3 hours per day, 7 days a week)..... Or did u mean 10 min of stretching/week per 1 pose rather than total time? I guess that would make more sense ..... ? Im so confuuuuuseeeed I keep hearing different opinions :(
@jordeaman
@jordeaman 4 жыл бұрын
he doesn't really say it but when he's talking about 3x30" and 6 times a week he means that for every muscle group or movement you wanna stretch. So lets say you wanna get more flexibility in your hamstring then you can do a hamstring stretch for 3x30" and 6 times a week but you also want to do side splits. then you also can do this 3x30"x6. And so on and on. Besides that the thing with sience is that we don't have data on everything. Their are probably not many studies in the literature about something so extreme as contortionisme. So people who practice this art have probably alot of practicial knowdlege and protocols that are not being scientifically studied, but probably work. Last point i wanna explain is that what he's talking about is the most time and safety effcient way to gain flexibility. In general more is always better as long as you don't injure yourself. This guy maybe confused you, but he made an amazing video!

Hey ADELE hope you're doing fine. The 9' of total stretching duration per week, refers to each muscle group. So if you decide to stretch the main muscle groups of your legs (glutes, calves, quads, hamstrings, and adductors) with only one exercise, this equals almost 2 hours of stretching per week. These guidelines are not my opinion but the results of dozens of studies. Nevertheless, these studies didn't have as subjects contortionists and at these extreme levels, I totally agree with the reply of +jordeaman.
@alithk
@alithk 3 жыл бұрын
i am pretty sure you can stretch longer . one reason why the study did not show any improvements over 10min stretching per week could be that the nervous system opposing the stretch starts to take over. that means as long as you can avoid that ( by doing low intensity and truly and deeply relaxing into the stretch )you should be able to do more than that if you really want to . this is what i think at least .

Well its 9 minutes per strechted muscels per week. Which means if you do for example 3 exercises and on both legs / arms you have either a total of 20 minutes / 3x a week or 11 minutes / 6x a week. Using the anderson method (prestrech ~15s) and pre strech everytime you can add additional 4,5 minutes. So if you train 4 times a week and do your streching right after - imagine you do streching just after 3 of your trainings - you still need 24,5 minutes of stretching instead of 25..

Well that's 9 minutes per each stretch so just for both hamstrings we're talking 18 minutes per week. Then the two lunges and the 2 front splits adds up to a total of 54 per week and I'm sure you'll have other stretches

You have no idea how long I've been searching for a proper explanation of flexibility! Thank you so much for the amazing video, it really is the best there is on the topic. I was wondering If I want to stretch multiple muscle groups at once - for example if I want to get the split and the middle split should I just switch between exercises every day? Like do the splits on Monday, Wednesday and Friday and the middle splits on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday? Do you think that's a good idea or should I just do one at a time?

One thing that has worked for me, and is supported by studies is static stretching with the help of a massage gun. I get into a static stretch until I hit a point where I just can't go further and then with the massage gun find the "tight" spot and hold the gun over that point until it releases. Additionally I work on strenghthening those muscles as well with weighted exercises (often kettlebells). The massage gun stretching has been supported by a Korean study I found. Unfortunately there aren't many studies yet on this type of stretching, but for someone like me who always had tight knots and couldn't stretch much this has been a life changer.

Sorry, I'm confused. You said 30 seconds of stretching was optimal, while increasing to 60 seconds showed no increase in flexibility. But then later you said if you can't do 30 seconds 6 times a week, do 60 seconds 3 times a week. Is this information not in conflict? Other than that, thank you so much for this video. It's the most informative source I've found so far.
