If you can't do this, you have tight hamstrings | #shorts

You know what makes you feel old before you’re, you know, actually old? Your constant soreness from being so stiff. And it's not because of your age; it’s simply a lack of flexibility. So you may not be young enough to pull off a middle part, but those aches and pains are not something you have to live with just because you’re not in your teens anymore.

If you're guilty of blaming your aches and pains on "getting old" even though you're only in your 30s or 40s (or even 50s!), I've got some news: it's not just because you're getting old. It's a lack of flexibility. And you don't have to feel this way.

I am going to do this daily. It’s by far the best stretch I have been shown. Thank you. I will join your classes

I once was stretching my hamstrings just like that and injured myself pretty badly, please be careful if you are not flexible and just a beginner

This. So I can fairly easily touch my toes? While standing. But to do this?! I get 3/4 off the way up and literally not get it any higher/straighter? What’s the deal??
I will keep working on this one though. Thanks!
I have CMT so I’m really trying to rectify my hamstrings

Do people genuinely not feel pain behind their knees when stretching like that?

If I feel 10 years younger I’ll be feeling like a 2 year old, no thanks
