This exercise is designed to help keep your pelvis level when you go for a run, swim, or bike. Balance is key. We are stretching the glutes, piriformis, it bands predominantly in this exercise. Most people use their lower back muscles when they become misaligned & imbalanced. You will notice one hip is tighter for most people in this exercise. That is the leg that is working harder during your cardio. Do this exercise daily before or after your cardio and you will see a quick improvement!

[@DadP0d]

This a great help. Thank you!

[@KimSaha]

Nice 👍 very informative... well filmed. Thanks!

[@robingalaskewicz6409]

Michael, Thanks for your question. Most leg length discrepancies are psoas muscle imbalances that hike the pelvis up on one side. In true leg length discrepancies, people that have scoliosis, or other structural imbalances, this exercise will prevent further imbalance from occurring. One side will always be tighter in these circumstances but you would not want these postural deviations to lead to further imbalance or improper biomechanics.

awesome vids! keep em comin!

[@ReeeceIRL]

Excellent tip. Thanks

[@Maxyshadow]

[@RobertDePinto]

[@TRUvoodoo]

Wow this is a great stretch! I've been really tight in the hip as I try to transition from a heel strike to mid foot strike and none of my stretches were helping. This loosened me up right away I feel great.

[@yadhup]

Useful tips! You guys rock!!!

[@moviedude22]

great team...excellent info

[@maverickzmedia]

awesome video, really appreciate the content

[@Runner8617]

so grateful for this video! I have extremely unstable hips which causes my right knee to hurt and my right leg always crosses to the left when i run. I will try this every day and tell you if it helped...

[@Wul-Lop]

Your video informs & inspires people all over the world. May we all run faster, safer & happier. Thank........ Thank...... Thanks.

[@johnpinto3885]

thanks for the video

[@lamai1jj]

great stretch for hips, thanks! my left hip is super tight and has alot of scar tissue. this stretch, along with the foam roller is really starting to help with my running progress.

[@PariyaKashfi]

Thanks for the useful videos guys! Just wondering if you have them in written somewhere? would be nice to print out and take to gym with me...

[@AndreObradovicAus]

great page thank you

[@jaedynlaanstra6978]

awesome vid guys! im 11 and i am more of a short distance track runner. this helped so much thanks!

[@RobHawthorn]

Guys great exercise will definitely try this, thanks. One thing, has the video messed up at all because it says top 5 exercises but there's only 1 and part of another exercise but it gets chopped off at the end

[@lagiyaismael6040]

thank u so much

[@Anzhela2]

Hi everyone, I tried this stretch out and it really does seem to be helping me! I have had a tight right hip for years due to my right leg being a lot shorter than my left. This stretch has loosened things up from my foot all the way up to my neck on the right side. Also, it has helped loosen up my right knee which has been injured several times in the same place due to its slightly inward development, again caused by the shortness of my right leg. I have only done this stretch a few times now so I have not seen an improvement in my running yet, but I have felt a looser more lubricated feeling in my right hip. Thank you so much for this wonderful stretch!

[@alyssabowen9297]

bri chil I love this comment.

[@ruthkerr5334]

Thanks for presenting these exercises! Am just wondering when the best time to do these exercises would be? Would you do all (10) of them together? After a run? Or as a separate workout regimen? Thanks again.

[@amblincork]

Tried one time and could feel the loosening up - feels like a good exercise

[@BrennanAnnie]

I had to watch twice because the first time I was distracted by all the nice legs. But second time I was do happy. Great exercises. I will definitely incorporate these into my routine.

[@kawar2164]

About long distance runner whats best exercises for ?

[@ghostuwi]

Hey you guys also work with the Everyman car show ?

[@joliebarata5065]

[@TheKauaiboyz51]

[@vijaypatil5763]

TheKauaiboyz51

[@gregoryspindler324]

Most people have their left hip lower or rotated forward to seem lower

[@barnahnah4671]

This is a personal note: Hold for 2 minutes Push toward the wall

[@omarchoudhurychoudhury946]

does this make u run faster

[@zhangdavid7757]

Hi! likely before a run. You want to open and loosen muscles/hips/etc

[@spittyfire3]

I wish these things worked for me. As strange as it sounds. my best runs are the ones where I don't stretch at all and have about 3-5 IPA's the night before. 5k's, 10k's, 1/2 marathons...always better if I do nothing but run. I've tried everything, still...best runs are when I train like hell, take a week off and carb load with beer this night before.

[@lpgft]

I tried your method of carb loading with many beers the night before my race. I ended up in jail ....

[@spittyfire3]

lpgft Yeah, but I bet it took them longer to catch you than normal.

[@Maxyshadow]

spittyfire3 LOL!

[@IllegalInAmsterdam]

How many times do you this per day?

[@tanaysharma1432]

Every time i came 3 or last among my 4 friends but after watching this i came 2 and some tyms 1

[@ALLTHETIMEo]

Lol yeah.but it doesnt matter.i will be trying this tommorow

[@tinman9341]

Is it just me or do they sound so much like The Fast Lane???? Which channel came first?

[@officialevanthompson]

Nicę

[@randomimmigrant348]

Joanna is 12 years old and 35 years old at the same time

[@chrisvarela2687]

Ragnar!!

[@fernandov8388]

how did i get here?

[@royfr8136]

This is like a SNL sketch.

[@DomoLoverGirlXoXo]

That guy looks like one of my classmates

[@papadoraanju9336]

its

[@Meeteepao]

Brandon looks like Kevin Spacey :D

[@pratikpurohit2446]

Where are those 10 exercises

[@MichaelRWright]

So, what is you have one leg longer than the other?

[@essentiallythis9249]

Michael R. Wright see a chiropractor 😉

He looks like Kevin Spacey, no?

[@tarawatchorn]

What are you doing

[@iceman4086]

You know he beatin cheeks

[@LiftPizzas]

I can run 400m at about twice the speed as I can run 5000m. The reason I can't run 5k at my max sprinting speed is because my heart and lungs cannot deliver O2 and get rid of waste as quickly as it builds up. It isn't my legs slowing me down, and stretching or other silly leg exercises aren't going to change that. Your sustained running speed is limited by your heart and lungs, not your legs.

[@amblincork]

Obviously dont understand the benefits of this exercise for many runners

[@crazymusicman13]

It's clear they had no rehearsing prior to turning the camera on lol. the guy has no idea what to do!

[@Cofreshh]

wurd lol

[@pandatoheaven4104]

I have better advice, pretend you have school on the summer and run away from it

[@rodneyhollier7290]

You guys are so awkward. I appreciate the advice though.

[@Saku19]

+Rod Hollier Apparently, their minds operate on a running program...so things like standing and talking are very unnatural to them.

[@Cofreshh]

2mins into the vid I said the same thing...then u saw your comment 1st and was like yeaa lol

[@Cofreshh]

+Cofresh I*

[@jarablue]

Sometimes it's nice to shut the fuck up and do something. I wonder how many people on this site would be comfortable not saying anything for a whole minute! Whatttt?????!!!!

[@cryora]

Standing and talking is very unnatural to me. I'd rather sit down and type.

[@JDBoelter]

She sure seems to know her stuff. The guy seemed like a know-it-all "dbag" in the "breathe like an Olympian" videos, but here, with the sunglasses gone, he's quite likeable. Maybe he just needed to lighten up.

[@luisaurrutia5037]

Is this a joke or should i try it ?

[@jreyes2822]

nope is not a joke you should try it

[@dl_carlo]

Is she a ginger?

[@Kekevdp]

or like he use to be fit..

[@SilverSwe]

to run like an elite you need to train on running every day - not playing around with stupid games and "exercises"

[@chyomama2970]

yeah, but not everyday so your muscles don't get injured. like 4 days a week and 2 days of low intensity workouts.

[@Cassiuss]

SilverSwe no not train everyday, cause your muscles need time to rest

[@ShowDonkeys]

No chemistry between these two.
