you know what I like about this video? you basically kept saying "It's okay if you can't do it perfectly as a newbie", like "it's okay to bend a little" and stuff like that. Making it really calming for newbie like me. Thanks!!

I just wanted to come back here and leave a comment to say thanks. My hamstrings have always been so tight I couldn't even get my hands past my knees. After less than a week of doing this routine, I can put my palms flat against my shins for the first time ever. Definitely going to continue with this.

I particularly appreciated how you gave explanations of why each step helps and gave concrete times (3 steps, 10 seconds, 30 days). That made it actually seem worth trying, rather than the vague "just try to touch your toes until you can" that was all I'd get told before.

If anyone is interested - I did this for a full month along along with some exercises from another Youtuber. In short: yes, this works!
I went from reaching 5 cm above my ankles to touching the ground with my fingertips. Just do it everyday, it's not that much of an effort. It takes 2 minutes.

I started this routine 7 days ago. I can already see a small progress. I will post an update in 23 days.

This works!!!
Just 3 weeks of this and there is major progress towards touching my toes!
Amazing.
The best exercises course there is.

Finally a channel that combines anatomy and science with flexibility. This channel is awesome.

The most clear, funny and down to earth yoga channel i’ve seen👍🏽

I might have said this already, but your speaking speed and pronounciation really helps non-native speakers to understand every single word. And your positivity is catching. Thank you for giving an "old" man hope in gaining more flexibility. Please never stop helping us.
P.S. I really like your voice, which is a huge bonus for me.

This is amazing! I tried the first step for just ten seconds on each side, and literally as I was doing it, my leg started to lift up off the floor as if my hamstrings were already getting the cue to relax.

Using this comment to remind myself daily, I've been doing yoga for a few weeks now but I'm struggling with tight muscles in my thighs and hips, so I hope to see some improvement ^-^

Starting today. I know I will not do every single day, but will try to be consistent and update in 2 months. Commenting so that it will serve as a reminder

I'm glad I found this. After a relatively complicated spinal fusion and recovery, my hamstrings are incredibly tight due to the protective posture I took while learning to walk again. Plenty of physical therapy over the last couple years, but nothing has been able to address my tight hamstrings. We'll give this a try and see what happens!

[Nigromancy]

Hi Liv! I just wanted to say Thank you - your explanations are just so clear and I love how concise your videos are! No waffling just straight to the point, your a godsend 😁

[MPBassJam]

I have been struggling with tight hamstrings and low back pain for such a long time. I've never been the most flexible but when I was younger I could at least touch my toes. But for the past few years touching my toes has been out of reach for me. I also have a lot of pain in my right hip flexor, probably due to sitting all day for work. I just tried your steps and it was almost magical! I felt my hamstrings and back loosen up, and when I was done I tried a standing toe touch, and reached them effortlessly! I'll be doing this daily from now on, and will definitely check out your other videos. Thank you so much!!!

Stumbled on this provider by chance when looking for leg stretching for martial arts. I did a lot of weights and bodybuilding that I think made me a lot less flexible when kicking so was seeking advice. Watching these videos I now know that the issue is my hamstrings and calves and I am improving each week. Many thanks!

[Copolia]

Lovely Lady, I cannot thank you enough. I have been struggling with tight hamstrings since I started strength training, which has been hugely frustrating as I have been flexible all my life and even now into my 50s. I did this training this morning and I can touch my toes again. Yay!! 😊

[agaplinio]

This felt excruciating but now I can touch my toes easily! 🎉thanks, great video and wonderful presentation! ❤

[sakshi]

Your videos are SO BRILLIANT! I CANNOT THANK YOU ENOUGH. Such a crisp video and helpful tips too. Just loved doing these stretches and cannot wait to see what it does for me in a months time thanks again x

[behaych]

Wow this literally improved my stretch by a couple of inches in one evening. Most people never mention the sciatic nerve but that was definitely my problem. Thanks so much, great videos 😊
