Well, feel free to ask away in this thread! There's no such thing as a stupid question. This is also a great opportunity for the rest of the community to help each other out. Guidelines:

| Posted: 29 Nov 2020 10:31 PM PST Greetings, redditors. I am entirely new to the platform and obviously to the sub as well, so sorry for any stupidity in advance. I've been wondering and reading a lot about flexibility and I basically dedicate between 1 and 2 hours a day for stretching (after exercise, of course, as I know static stretching should be a post-fitness activity). But I've been thinking... is it worth my time? Is it a waste of time? I'm currently also working towards achieving a split, something I've never really given much thought and which makes me excited. But a lot of the articles and videos I've come across online have kind of discouraged me and made me doubtful about the actual benefits of stretching. One, in particular, highly debated afaik, "Quite a Stretch: Stretching Hype Debunked". Usually, when I begin something, I try to be focused and do it properly, instead of sticking to an average level, as I am quite a perfectionist... My weird logic tells me that, if I want to stretch, I should do it for extended periods of time, as opposed to just 20 minutes a day. But I think my concerns are valid, since, if it is true that stretching is absolutely useless and even hinders your fitness level, then it means I waste a lot of time everyday doing something that does virtually zilch to my health which I mistakenly take for a beneficial activity. Sure, it is relaxing and does feel good, but would you try to fit one to two hours of flexibility or yoga workout into your schedule/routine just because it's fun? I mean, sure, you could, but you get the jist. xD TL;DR I'm so confused with all the differing opinions online and would want to know if stretching is worth the time I invest into it, since more and more people seem to agree that stretching is pointless.

| Should your feet go out or be in when you’re on your knees? Posted: 29 Nov 2020 10:22 PM PST I have been watching UFC fighters on YouTube, and when they take a break and rest on their knees (with their butt resting on their ankles) they have their feet extended so that their feet are essentially flat against the ground with toes pointing away from their knees. I can't do this though. When I go on my knees like that I stretch my toes inwards towards my knees and my feet are vertical rather than flat against the ground. Does this mean I have poor ankle/knee mobility or flexibility? Should a healthy person be able to flatten their foot all the way out when they are on their knees? [link] [comments] | ||
| Posted: 29 Nov 2020 10:38 AM PST Does anyone who also has a desk job get crazy lower back tightness? I do stretches regularly and glute and ab work but I still can't find a fix Some days just leaning towards the mirror while shaving causes a muscle pump feel and crazy tightness. Doing dishes. Same thing Walking same thing sometimes. I use a buggy in Walmart even if I don't need it. I wouldn't label it as pain really. More of the low back over working What are do you guys recommend stretching the most? [link] [comments] | ||
| Trying to set some public goals to hold my self accountable! Posted: 29 Nov 2020 10:22 AM PST So I have been practicing martial arts for 30 years and have never had great flexability. I was getting fairly flexibly a few years ago but then lost a lot of it after I ruptured my Achilles and was unable to walk (let alone train) for the better part of a year. So now I am trying to get to where I want to be. Hopefully at 35 I can still get to where I want!! I have set myself a goal of a full side split (as well as dropping 30lbs) for my next Taekwondo Test October/November next year (2021). So I have 11 months or so to achieve this goal. Planning on doing stretching sessions every other morning and welcome any suggestions people here have. Hopefully my goal is realistic I would love to be able to go into that test with a full split and impress :) [link] [comments] | ||
| 'Lazy' Stretches (Using Gravity) Posted: 29 Nov 2020 10:41 AM PST I am looking for some 'lazy' stretches where you can simply let gravity do the work, because my arms are usually too tired/weak to pull on my legs. Most of one's I know use a wall for assistance (leaning bent over against the wall -> hamstrings, letting your legs fall apart like a V -> adductors). Are there any other good wall/lazy stretches (maybe for quads?) [link] [comments] | ||
| Want to move my hips... for reasons... Posted: 29 Nov 2020 10:31 AM PST This whole post is kind of embarrassing. I was with my roommates this weekend having drinks and we all decided it would be funny to, you know, shake our booties. Just getting into the position with bent legs slightly open, I felt tightness in my groin & inner thigh and lower back & butt. I couldn't move much at all! It's been a common theme in my life to be tight but I never realized how much this might affect me. Not so much twerking, but, ahem, performance in the sack. I see my friends being able to almost do the splits while isolating their pelvis to do rotations. I'd like to at least get better hip & back mobility - splits might be a few years after that, at least haha. Some physical considerations: • 26 year old female, slim, not athletic but in good shape. Open to learning more about flexibility and fitness in general. • I have slight scoliosis, lordosis, and kyphosis (rounded shoulders). They aren't severe enough to impede my life in any way, most people wouldn't even notice. • the lordosis (excessive curvature in lumbar spine) creates anterior pelvic tilt, something I've been trying to improve by doing exercises that activate my core and by stretching my spine & back extensor muscles. • I do yoga and at home workouts on occasion. (Not enough). I usually do things like pigeon pose, bridges, planks, extended child's pose, chest expansions, etc. My physio says my form is great. TLDR: I want to be more flexible so I can WOW my next sexual partner. There, I said it. Any recommendations? Open to specific poses/ exercises, or YouTube channels, or trainers to follow on social media, etc. [link] [comments] | ||
| Posted: 29 Nov 2020 09:15 AM PST Basically I had a really bad issue with main my hips wher I could barely step over a small wall. I got rid of that issue by stretching daily but one thing I cant heal is when I spread my legs apart (as though going into the splits) once I go past a certain point it hurts.. I am wondering if I should push through and squat at the position it is uncomfortable with the intention to strengthen my hips? [link] [comments] | ||

| The Bridge Stretch has been an absolute game changer!! Posted: 28 Nov 2020 03:35 PM PST Hi guys! Whether or not we regularly implement them in our routine, Im sure the vast majority of us are all familiar with the bridge considering how many people post their results with it here. Ive recently began implementing it in my routine as well (2-3 months ago). I am an active person either jogging, biking or kick boxing 3-4 times a week. So I had sufficient strength and mobility to learn the bridge stretch pretty quickly, however Im no where near being extremely comfortable nor having mastery over it. I also am a 29 year old with Tourette Syndrome. My major symptom has always been twitches involving my neck and spine. Ive had the impulses to crack my neck and spine the way someone cracks their knuckles except ive been doing these things often well over 50x a day for years now. Sometimes the twitches are very light but Ive had times I was swinging my neck around so much I developed lumpy knots in my neck from it lol. Ive even strained muscles in my back from twitches. I stopped taking medication with consultation, from my neurologist of course (dont stop meds on a whim EVER), at age 24 because my vocal tics had stopped and my symptoms where no longer impacting my ability to function besides the neck/back related stuff which I was largely fine with managing. When youve been taking multiple antipsychotic class meds from age 9-24, you relish the time when you can live free of them. Of course this meant I struggle through neck/back soreness all the time. Lifting, stretching and being active has helped my situation and strengthened my nervous system a great deal to alleviate symptoms. But every since I began using the bridge stretch both with hands for a greater back emphasis and without hands for greater neck strengthening, my back/neck stiffness has been reduced by a crazy degree. If I do bridge work for a few minutes, I actually feel immediate relief. Its pretty wild to be honest. Now my back/neck soreness has rarely got in the way of my doing physical activities, but ever since the bridge work I just feel like I can do so much more. I began teaching myself tumbles, cartwheels and macaco flips. The relief from the bridge has be a game changer. If any of you suffer from neck/back stiffness for any reason such as sitting too much at work or lack of mobility, I implore you to try adding the bridge stretch to your life. You may need to work at it if you dont have the flexibility but its 100% worth it. If you have had injuries to your neck/back before then please exercise caution as your situation may be different. But the bridge has helped me greatly and I know it can help many of you guys too! Sorry for the lengthy stream of thought, Cheers to healthy bodies and sound minds residing in a powerful soul yall!
