| Difficulty getting out of frog pose? Posted: 16 Apr 2020 07:34 PM PDT It takes me a about a minute to sink into frog pose and I can hold it for a good 8-10 minutes. I have a very difficult time getting out of it. It hurts and I have to go incredibly slow. Is this normal? [link] [comments] | ||
| Posted: 16 Apr 2020 10:00 PM PDT I find that im unable to achieve my front splits. I stretch every. Single. Day. For maybe 15 mins and i find that im stuck in a cycle. I stretch well and im able to go really low and eventually it starts to hurt and im not able to go as low, then i rest a bit and then progress goes away and the cycle continues. Please help!!! I follow this video for reference splits training right now i stopped mid routine due to the fact that my right leg is in pain right now and i dont want to worsen it/ restart the cycle. I have been attempting to get my front splits for maybe 5 months now. I also found that my hips arent as square as can be and theyre slightly opened out, would that contribute to any of the pain im leading myself to? [link] [comments] | ||
| Posted: 16 Apr 2020 11:38 PM PDT Looking to improve my ankle mobility in order to squat well. After doing the wall test it seems that I have soft tissue restrictions on the left and a joint restriction at the front of my ankle on the right. So after stretching/rolling I can definitely improve the dorsiflexion on the left by about 2cm on the wall test. For the right ankle I did banded joint distractions that you see all over the internet as well as stretching rolling to make sure my tissues release as well. Now while I think the band did help whilst I had it on, although I'm not to sure, when i did the wall test again i didnt really see any temporary improvement. Maybe about 5mm but I'm not sure if that was my knee caving ever so slightly. Basically my question is should I see a significant albeit temporary improvement on the wall test after doing the banded mobilizations like I did with my other ankle after soft tissue work? Another question is do I need a heavier duty band for this? The one I have is pretty light duty that I use for rotator cuff exercises. Willing to put the work in over time to fix my ankle but want to make sure I'm doing things right. Thanks for any help! [link] [comments] | ||
| Beginning my flexibility journey after a long break Posted: 16 Apr 2020 07:47 AM PDT Hi all. I used to be very flexible as a girl because I figure skated and did taekwondo. Now as an adult after anorexia recovery I'm back into healthy exercise and ice skating, and I wanted to share a little of my beginner's progress :) I'm trying to work on stability and balance so I can hold poses longer.

| Posted: 16 Apr 2020 05:11 PM PDT Hi! I've been able to do the middle splits after slowly stretching into it for several months now, but I want to be able to just sink into it. After I come out of my middle splits I have to begin my slow stretch all over again to be able to get back into the position. Does anyone have any advice on how to achieve my goal? Thank you!

| Using the mind to improve flexibility? Posted: 16 Apr 2020 02:37 PM PDT I keep seeing promos for this thing called Beyond Flexibility which focuses on how the mind can play a part in the flexibility process. Could this program be based on an already established philosophy? I have read many books on how so much is all in the mind in regards to healing and physical conditions, such as Sarno's Healing Back Pain - The Mind Body Connection. But this is the first that I am encountering in regards to flexibility and would be interested in knowing what the larger framework of this is and if there are books out there that speak more directly of this philosophy.

| Every time I do hamstring stretches I only feel it in my lower legs. Posted: 16 Apr 2020 12:12 PM PDT It's a possibility that my calves are really tight, but I almost feel it near my shins. It doesn't feel so much like a stretch, it just feels uncomfortable. I'm going to try and stretch my calves for the next couple weeks and see if that's the problem, but anyone know what it might be?

| Posted: 16 Apr 2020 09:44 AM PDT I usually sit in my office chair "criss-cross applesauce", for lack of a better term. A colleague told me it was abnormal for men to sit in chairs this way. I was sorta shocked that it was something he noticed. What was really interesting though, was when I asked him to try it, he physically couldn't do it. He said I must just be hyperflexible. I don't practice yoga or anything like that and have never thought of myself as being overly flexible. So two questions: Do any other guys out there sit this way on chairs? And is it considered an abnormal way to sit? [link] [comments] | ||
| Posted: 16 Apr 2020 09:22 AM PDT I've been stretching my front splits for more than five years and it seems I've got stuck at the same angle for a while. I can't add more than 3 yoga blocks under my front leg. Any tips on how can I go beyond the barrier? Thanks! [link] [comments] | ||
