| hamstring behind knee tight, want to fix. any help/advice? Posted: 11 Oct 2020 09:02 PM PDT hi all so I thought I'd give this a try. I've always been pretty flexible my whole life with my legs, but have been sedentary for maybe 6+ months now due to covid. The past couple weeks I've been doing straight leg lifts and noticed that my hamstrings are very tight when doing so and I have less flexibility than I did before. Also while touching my hands to my toes, I can do it but there's a bit of a strain. I think I overdid it today because I tried stretching and doing more leg lifts and it ended up making my right foot kind of numb. Anything I can do to fix this? Thanks a lot. [link] [comments] | ||

| Opinions on the starting to stretch routine? Posted: 11 Oct 2020 06:10 PM PDT Hi, I'm a beginner, 17m, and I'm stiff as a board. I looked under the 'where to start' post and found the 'starting to stretch' routine. I have done it the past couple of days and have some questions about it:
I'm sorry if some of these are answered in the original post. I have a lot of questions and not a lot of answers. [link] [comments] | ||

| Posted: 11 Oct 2020 06:39 PM PDT I recently adjust my front split stretching routine. Have this split 3 months ago, recently realized the solid split is quite challenging which is perfect square hip, knee and top foot at back leg facing totally downward, upright torso bending at the hip hinge not lower back. My torso is still slightly angling forward. From what I found, to sit in the split properly, I need to really engage my core, my glute, hamstring and foot so that I hinge at hip not lower back. I can sit to the ground with my way I said but my torso just slightly bend forward, I modify my split stretching which is; when I sit in split in a few minutes, I hold this position with not going totally to the ground, so my torso perfectly upright, but my back leg bending due to that. I feel that if my back leg straight, it's easier to engage my namely muscles earlier that I feel more in the hip flexor, but to engage muscles in bending back leg, it's really hard and tax much energy. So I wanna ask the experts, which way is better? sit totally to the ground with torso slightly angling forward or sit not fully to the ground? or I'm doing this the wrong way? [link] [comments] | ||
| Can increasing flexibility be a bad idea? Posted: 11 Oct 2020 06:31 AM PDT As a teen, I was really into yoga and was semi-flexible. No splits or anything, but my hamstrings were my biggest limitation. Everything else was pretty bendy. I watched TV in lotus pose or a deep hero pose. I could reach mid-forearm with my behind the back shoulder stretch. Anyways, my biggest hesitation is that when I was a teen, my joints would pop in/out of socket easily. If someone tugged on my arm, it would pop out at the shoulder and then pop right back in when they let go. My hips were even more of an issue. They popped out at the strangest of times. Not necessarily painful, but definitely uncomfortable. I was also a twiggy little thing with no fat or muscle mass, so maybe that was the issue instead of flexibility? I'd prefer to keep my joints in my sockets. [link] [comments] | ||
| 9 HEALTH BENEFITS OF YOGA YOU PROBABLY NEVER KNEW ABOUT Posted: 11 Oct 2020 10:54 AM PDT 1 – Greater flexibility The yoga routine includes muscle-strengthening poses. After just eight weeks of regular yoga practice, some people have noticed a 35% increase in flexibility! No matter what level of yoga you are practicing, you are holding poses that you inhale and exhale over and over again, which can increase your flexibility. 2 – Improving heart health While most people associate heart health with exercise that increases heart rate (such as aerobic exercise), yoga is also good for heart health. This is because yoga can help you relax. When we feel stressed, our bodies release cortisol and adrenaline, causing our blood pressure to rise. Stress has all sorts of effects on our bodies, so anything that helps us reduce our stressors can improve our health. If a heart disease causes so many early deaths, then why not use yoga for heart health? there are more: get them [link] [comments] |
