    Any tips to help my pancake? I do not really feel any stretch during this pose (also not when sitting on blocks), which muscles are used for the forward tilt and how to stretch those?

    what i learned after 1+ year of consistent stretching

    Posted: 08 Jul 2021 02:43 PM PDT

    1. everyone progresses at different speeds on the journey, choose a method of stretching that is the most enjoyable for you so you can do it consistently rather than focusing on the results
    2. there is no ultimate stretching routine or exercise. be gentle, intuitive with your stretches, and you need to try a bunch of different things before you can find what works best for you
    3. the benefits of stretching has long been debated, but in the end of the day, if it makes you feel better, then just keep doing it! for me personally, i find i get less injuries in my runs , and the stretches have not prevented me from getting faster, so who cares if stretching is ''scientifically good for you'', just go for it :)
    4. the hardest part of this journey was getting started. I put it off for years, and once you start, things will begin to flow . so if you've been putting it off, let this message be the universe telling you its time to start, now!

    Here is a video of my current simple routine, you can find my progress video on the channel as well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7cwNAZ\_3Gjk

    Upper back and shoulder flexibility still sucks, oh well

    What are your favorite 'stretching goals'?

    Posted: 09 Jul 2021 06:59 AM PDT

    I recently started doing Kit Laughlin's Bent-Leg Hamstring Stretch every day, and it occurred to me that this could be the key to the forward fold, a goal of mine. Every day, I can see myself (literally) inching closer.

    Now that I know the thrill of working every day toward a visualizable goal, I'm wondering whether I can incorporate one or two more stretches into my daily routine. Having nicely stretched calves is one thing, but it's another thing entirely to see someone in some crazy pose and to think "If I do such-and-such stretch every day, I could do that." For me, that's really motivating.

    So what are your favorite 'stretching goals,' and what are the main stretches involved? (Again, just to clarify: I'm asking not for your favorite stretches, but primarily for your favorite stretching goals... and then for whichever stretches got you, or are getting you, to those goals.)

    Hip Flexor vs Lower Back

    Posted: 09 Jul 2021 12:26 AM PDT

    Okay it might be a stupid question, so call me stupid if you want, but what is the difference between "lower back" flexibility and hip flexor flexibility? My understanding was that your hip flexors connect from your lower spin down to your pelvis and inner thigh, so I kind of thought that those were the muscles you stretch when bending your lower back… but I've seen a lot of people talk about the two as separate muscle groups to stretch.

    Heavy leg day + flexibility optimal?

    Posted: 08 Jul 2021 04:55 PM PDT

    Do you guys think doing my flexibility training (trying to get to full split as male) on the same day right after a heavy leg session is optimal.

    My leg days are intense with heavy squats and such and I was wondering if that hinders recovery for my flexibility in anyway doing it on the same day.

    Where are my Bertolotti's people at?

    Posted: 08 Jul 2021 10:21 AM PDT

    I've discovered via MRI that I've got a partially sacralized L5 on the sacrum, which I've read is called Bertolotti's syndrome but I was never told that specifically. Was going for a scan for something else and voila! At the time I had a bulging disc on L4-5 which Bert folks are prone to due to possible mobility issues. It's time to work on that and give that lower back less stress.

    When sitting, it has always been a challenge getting those hips straight and feel the glutes and hammies (maybe even hip flexors?) tugging them into posterior pelvic tilt. I've since done some couch stretches to work on hip flexors, what are some other dailies I could do for this? I've never really liked foam rolling the hamstrings, can be exhausting keeping myself upright w/ arms especially when sore after the gym. I've got years of tightness from running and lifting so I've gotta find stretches I'll enjoy so I can keep up daily. Thank you.

    Do you know that feeling of coming in the door, or switching off your computer, after work and feeling frazzled? 10-mins of yoga can make a huge difference to your body & mind. Try this routine after work so you can transition into a relaxed, blissful evening and tick off your flexibility training.

    How to get heels to ground during Frog Pose?

    Posted: 08 Jul 2021 09:17 AM PDT

    Hello, I'm currently in PT due to aches in my left surgical knee (ACL). One of the things we've been doing to open up the hips is the frog pose. However, I can't seem to get my heels to touch the ground. I plan to ask my PT about it today, but is this due to ankle flexibility? In the meantime, should I be doing a more beginner friendly version of this exercise?

    Background - 31 year old desk job guy. Lift weights, but haven't really didn't start stretching until PT.

    Here is a pic of me attempting the stretch. Note the heels not touching down.
