I am 76. The initial test indicated I could only get one third down my shins. After doing one round of the exercises, I could bend down to touch my ankles. That is a huge improvement. Thank you.

I am 65 yrs old. I've been practicing yoga for most part of my life and not been able to touch the floor for last 2 decades - I've been 3 inches off from my toes. With just my first round of your active movements, I was able touch the floor!

I’ve always wondered why stretching my upper body feels good but stretching my lower body is so painful. Your comments about the nerves sounds like I finally have an answer. Thank you.

I have constant pain in my lower back. It's gone, for now at least. Oh, and I managed to touch the floor ^^
This is one of those YouTube videos that take just a few minutes to watch but might end up having a ridiculously disproportionate amount of positive impact on your life. Going to keep doing this, thank you!

Dude, it is so refreshing to see a 'normal' stiff bloke demonstrate this. It makes the demonstration so much more effective.

I am in my 60s and though I could touch my toes in my 20s, over the years due to sitting at the desk job lost that ability.
After many decades after doing stretching exercises as demonstrated by you, i managed to touch my toes!
❤❤❤

Wow! I'm 63, haven't been able to get anywhere near my toes for 40 years. You just helped me almost touch them. Thanks man.👍

I'm 51 and have been aiming to touch my toes (haven't been able to for decades) so I've just followed what you've outlined above (but I also did 20 calf stretches also). What an improvement! I struggled a bit with the hip raising portion and I noticed my leg-raises weren't that great but that'll improve no doubt.

At the start, my fingertips got to about 13-14 cm (bit over 5 inches) from the floor but when I tested myself after I could get down to around 7 cm (bit under 3 inches) with exactly the same straight legs and tightness in my lower hamstrings / upper calves... wow.

I'm going to add this advice of yours into my daily routine and hope to see incremental improvements... my toes have nowhere to hide! Thankyou.

Hello from Brazil. I'm 48. I run, swim and ride bike every day. I've done a full Ironman, but I don't use to stretch. I tried your exercise and it improved my stretch, even I didn't reach the floor. Thanks for this content, I learned something new today.

I've had pain doing a forward bend for decades since a car accident at 16yrs old. After just following along to this video and doing only the first exercise, I went from reaching 4 inches above the floor to touching the floor with all fingers. Wow! I'm going to keep practicing too. Thank you!

[PulsarProductions]

Wow, I really can't believe this worked! I stretch every day but I can never get near my toes, always several inches away and it never shows any improvement. I just did ten reps of the first exercise only and found I could actually touch my toes straight away! Unbelievable! I will incorporate this in to my daily routine. Very rare click bate titles live up to the hype, but this one did. Thanks 🙂

[nkiey]

My toes have been untouched for years. Today they were touched. Thank you!!

[tomvtek]

I’m 65 and I went 3in lower just following along with you in the video! I’ve never been able to touch the floor, but I’ll keep trying your exercises. Thanks!

[kevinmccarthy]

Worked for me also! I went from about 4 inches from floor to touching floor after doing your exercises! Wow!

[joeclay]

That's why I can touch my toes. It feels like I'm forever picking things off floor in my van and doing that stretch. Thanks for sharing

[hausnerr]

How does Dr YouTube know that i need to watch this video on a Saturday night at 10pm? And it works. I can touch my toes now. Never touched them in the last 30 years😂

[joejoe-lbbw]

I'm amazed. Just did the first exercise and I reached much further down my ankles. A youtube video that isn't a click bait scam!

[seanc]

Great video! Very informative! I'll have to incorporate this into my daily routine! Thanks so much for this! 🙏

[senseibear]

OMG! I'm 46, and this worked straight away... I never thought about how dynamic our systems are, I understand why people need to warm up before physical activity.. Plus I know how to do it now...
Thanks

[penguinista]

That worked well for me. Notable improvement and feels good in my body to do the exercises as well.
Thank you!
