| Posted: 08 May 2020 07:54 AM PDT I read in a thread the other day that you shouldn't try to do a middle split before you can do a pancake or you can damage your knees. I also heard if you force yourself into the lotus pose before you can permanently damage your knees. I'm now kind of nervous that there are other ways I might injure myself that I don't know about, since these things are rarely discussed. What are some other common way beginners might hurt themselves? [link] [comments] | ||

| Posted: 07 May 2020 08:03 PM PDT How can you exactly tell when your hips are square while doing in the splits. I know what it means to have squared hips but how can you tell if your hips are squared? [link] [comments] | ||
| Posted: 07 May 2020 06:43 PM PDT I am currently losing weight. I recently started stretching because I always feel extremely stiff and I haven't stretched in years. While stretching I noticed my bigger stomach constantly gets in the way. Am I over exaggerating or does anyone else have this issue? Today I was doing the child's pose and it felt extremely unconformable due my bigger stomach being in the way. I know the obvious answer is to lose weight, which I am currently doing. But in the meantime should I stop stretching until I lose a bit more weight, or just push through the awkwardness that comes with being overweight and stretching? [link] [comments] | ||

| Posted: 07 May 2020 10:58 AM PDT Hey all, a few years back I badly injured my ankle while messing around with stepbro in front yard. Long story short essentially the bottom of my foot was touching my calves with my whole bodyweight on it as i slid down a hill from a jump. As you can imagine this really messed my ankle up, nothing broke but i assume just about everything tore. Fast forward a few years to now, and I still struggle with ankle mobility on that leg for things like squats. I have tried stretching my calves as well as doing banded joint mobilization drills like you see on youtube, but I was wondering if anyone had some other tips that might help me out. The cause of my lack of mobility is 100% a joint restriction. when i first did the wall test for dorsal flexion I got nowhere near the wall on that side and felt a blockage and slight pain not only in the front of my ankle joint but the inner side along the ankle potrusion as well. To clarify, the band mobility work i do now does help, but only lasts temporarily, maybe 15 mins after i do it if i dont keep my ankle in a flexed position. Thanks for any feedback, sorry for the long winded post. [link] [comments] | ||

| Couple of question on my stretching routine. Posted: 07 May 2020 10:38 AM PDT I have been stretching every morning along with some YouTube videos. They are short between 10-25 minutes long but I have been consistent and noticing a different. Most of the videos are beginner levels and I switch up the videos often. My first question is, should I do the same routine over and over or should I constantly change it up doing different follow alongs? One of my biggest issues is my right hip. When I sit cross legged on the floor my right hip is very uncomfortable preventing me from sitting in that position very long. Since I've been stretching regularly it's gotten better but still far from where I want it. My second question, what stretches should I focus on to relieve the pain in my right hip when sitting cross legged? [link] [comments] |
