I have anxiety and depression and couldn’t get out of bed in the morning. Doing you stretches and Taekwondo motivated me to overcome this mental illnesses ever so slowly so I’m very grateful to you!

[archamedis]

Bloody hell, this video is exactly what I need without even asking. Thank you!

Notes:
• 9 minutes for each muscle a week
• At least 2-3 days a week of stretching (best results at 6 days)
• 2-4 sets, each set 30 seconds
• rest suggestion: switch to another muscle to stretch

E.g. single-leg toe touching hamstring exercise, 30 seconds each stretch and leg, 3 times per leg = 3 minute session

This is interesting. I used to do 90 min yoga class, to help with my martial arts. I then couldn't make it and did 10 minutes morning yoga every day dramatically improved my results. Going to give this a try.

Once again, I am amazed at your ability to concisely and thoroughly explain a potentially complex topic. As someone who probably spends too much time watching fitness/exercise videos, I feel confident in saying that you are light years ahead of the pack.

I’m 75 and have been completely ruined by the Covid lockdown. It denied me the option to go to the gym and keep myself fit. Many of the instructors are no longer available for the classes I loved. You have given me new motivation to get going again with you examples and research data. I love your explanations. I may not get to start this week since it is the holiday week, but for sure after the hub-bub has died down. Thank you for what you do.❤

I love the fact that the wonderful information put forth is based on science - love this channel as it has helped me in the past 3 weeks to become more flexible!

[aliciahigashi]

I am absolutely going to do the stretching you recommended 5 times a week. Since coming across your channel and doing the movements my body can tolerate I have decreased my pain, discomfort & increased my ROM. THANK YOU SO MUCH LIV!

[neygart]

I love your positive way of teaching, your smile is just a bonus. I'm going to set stretch goals for 2023, I'm curious how far I get. Thanks for your awesome videos.

[gregorybeattie]

I just found your channel and I’m blown away! I’m fit, healthy and robust, but my flexibility is useless, because I’m rubbish and hardly ever stretch! These videos are so easy to follow, scientifically-grounded and user-friendly. I will definitely be following for more content and thanks in advance for helping me reach my mobility goals!

[charlie]

I started a stretching routine already, after seeing your videos. And I already see progress in my balance :-). I'll give this a try as I have 10 min 3 times a week.

[yadthink]

Great info, Liv; thank you! I'm a new viewer and brand-new sub. I appreciate the lessons & positivity in your vlogs.

[ananascarpenter]

Thank you so much for your very clear explanations. Very valuable to me! And yes, I am going to schedule 9 minute stretch sessions three times per week!

One important thing you need for getting more flexible: Motivation!
I literally got punched in the face every time I was in class. For months I had to look over to 20 years younger and much more flexible ppl. Now, 6 months later I see a lot improvement from week to week. I reached my goal to touch feet during stretching and the goal to touch feet without stretching comes closer day to day.
Each body is different. Each body needs different amount of time. Just stay motivated!

[christopherhohman]

Thank You for another informative video Liv. I can't wait to see the follow along.

[flowjan]

The Quality of this channel is insane. Other youtubers with this quality have millions of views I hope you will reach that.

[hayatieow]

You make your presentations so inspiring n motivating! Also so much of fun watching it! Thanks.

[AVastShimmer]

This seems really intuitive and a lot more manageable than the 30 - 60 minute, 6 days a week sessions that have gotten me nowhere in the past. I’m 6’7”, 200 lbs and rigid everywhere. I’ll be really excited to see if I can get this to work!

[PrincessThomas.]

Love the follow along video for these stretches! Thank you!

[DiscoFang]

This little-bit-often is the truth. I'd spent a lifetime (well, 20 years) exercising and stretching for martial arts until injury nixxed that. After 10 years of doing not much physical stuff I couldn't even touch my toes. I discovered that just 4ish minutes at the end of the day of 3 different hamstring stretches had me elbows to toes in about 6 weeks.
