Literally working on flexibility just to be good at pole dance

[@MrMayoMan]

LOL, I'm doing this because I need it for my kickboxing

[@stretchandtrain]

amazing! That is how I got into stretching as well. I did it for poledancing :)

[@stretchandtrain]

awesome! All the best with that. A very cool sport

[@ChantaBrite]

I find this information valuable along with the video and the presentation of it was easy to listen to. I have also been on a journey, one of disability which is also valuable and helps me understand why I can't do certain things. What I found there is a relationship between the brain and body when it comes to stretching, movement and other factors that is just life. When these are working and operating, functioning together in agreement, then it becomes easier to stretch, move, and live life. However when there is disablement and different systems are also affected, it puts it at times in the impossible journey section, which requires miracles and learning, very least being informed and accepting. It is at times really slow and can then also be very quick.What I am considering is the other way of stretching which you touch upon, which is deep, and that is where I fall into, along with other things, such as vestibular system at present, that has problems, which can make it impossible to stretch or at times touch your toes, or can do things to your muscles, such as hypertonicity which is really quite painful, and feels like a rock. Thankyou for helping inform people, because the very least it helps to know and not waste time following that which can lead and does into injury.

[@stretchandtrain]

Thanks for sharing your experience! It was a great read for me. Wishing you all the best with stretching 🌸 Big hugs

Hey, thank you for this. Do you have any knee mobility videos. I find squatting/lunges etc very painful for one of my knees. I'd love a knee mobility follow-along to work to.

[@stretchandtrain]

Hi :) I would really recommend seeing a physio to figure out why this is happening. Sounds very much like something that can be strengthened over time and the pain can then be stopped but very hard for me to help over a comment. Hope this is of some help. Have a beautiful day

[@DanielSAraujo98]

I was never able to touch my feet with my legs stretched. I am 6ft and I used to be like a whole palm away from touching my toes, but I am stretching and it’s getting better, but I am not sure if I will ever be able to touch my whole hand on the ground. Do you think it might not be possible?

[@JuraIbis]

Just general good advice but I started to just straight up drink 26 ounces of water every day before anything else. I hate it, I dislike drinking room temperature water and I don't feel thirsty a lot but it's a necessary evil. You'll see changes within 3-4 days (it fixed my dry eyes personally).

[@stretchandtrain]

ohh wow! I would use a fix for my dry eyes. Thanks for sharing!

[@user-hz7nn4qk4e]

I stretched 4 years ago for split i improved in front but i didnt get it but middle i feel bone to bone how i know that my anatomy doesnt allow me ?

[@combo366]

i got my splits a month ago, yet they still hurt when i go into them? is it natural that they hurt after doing my stretches and warming up to, not just trying to go into them cold? how do i fix this? or do i just need to continue doing my stretches till the pain eventually goes away? its not a sharp pain btw just that uncomfortable one

[@stretchandtrain]

Hey, yes it is normal it hurts. If I don’t do mine for a few weeks they hurt too 🥹 So super normal. One day when you have super solid oversplits your regular split will maybe stop hurting :)

[@Rob42125]

👏🏾👏🏾

[@mariak1425]

Nice that you did some pole dancing! I stretch for pole dancing myself 😊

[@stretchandtrain]

Ohhh yeah for pole dancing! I have actually competed in it several times both in IPSF and local unregulated competitions so did quite a lot of if. What is the dream move you are working towards?

[@samsam-nh9xi]

I stretched during 4 years didnt much feel im flexible ...im a bit overweight and 47 years old ..is it because my weight ? 97kg fir 169cm

[@gautamgupta5416]

I am suffering from my backbone pain while doing backbending. Will you please help me for that.😥😥

[@stretchandtrain]

I would really recommend seeing a specialist. There can be many reasons and causes to your pain and it can easily develop into more pain with stretching so please see someone about it. :)

What about kids

[@stretchandtrain]

kids are a whole topic for another video but usually is very much depends on age, how young they are, how committed and what other activities they do. :)
