@wildmoonchild9404منذ 3 سنوات I’ve always had horrible back flexibility, but WOW lately I’ve been noticing my back being less stiff and I can almost touch my feet to my head when doing exercise four! 348
@

@natnat8230منذ 3 سنوات If you’re barely seeing this, please do these stretches everyday !! (With breaks in between) but your back and I kid you not will become less stiff and you’ll want to have good posture. It helps a lot with that. My body doesn’t really allow me to slouch as much anymore and it’s only been a week since I started doing these. This video is awesome ! I’m not a bot btw lol ....وسعت 160

@madelinezhang9693منذ 5 سنوات Hi, I just want to say that out of all the back flexibility tutorials I’ve watched, you are the most motivating. Because I’ve been trying to get my back flexible for a long time, but when you said it’s ok to be a work in progress, it motivated me a lot more
So thank you so much ....وسعت 681

@MakitaVEVOمنذ 3 سنوات I'm going to do this (hopefully) everyday for a while, I'll update my progress<3.
Starting point: ground zero. My back is very stiff. id="hidden5" class="buttons">
Day one: I couldn't hold the crab hold for too long, also couldn't lift my head off the floor while doing it.
Day two: same as day one. I felt the stretch a bit more.
Day three: rest day<3.
Day four: crab hold is still a struggle but in the rest of the exercises I'm feeling more comfortable.
Day five: crab holds didn’t felt too terrible today, but my wrists hurt a little after them.
Day six: rest day<3.
Day five: I feel like my back is a lot less stiff than how it was on day one.
That was my first week, I'll be updating my progress weekly instead of daily<3.
Week two and three: after this routine I can notice that my arabesques have improved quite a bit, but while doing the crab holds they seem to be getting more and more challenging. ....وسعت 360

@mads338العام الماضي I aim to do this and Hannah's 3-way splits stretch daily to improve my flexibility! To contextualize, I am a recreational dancer who has not taking id="hidden6" class="buttons"> stretching seriously until now. I am more flexible than the average person, but compared to people who stretch for flexibility consistently, I am notably inflexible. I'm committed to change that.
DAY 1 (05/08/2023): ....وسعت 11

@Olivia-ev9hkالعام الماضي I know this is old, but I figured I would give a slight update. I am 100% not flexible. But doing these for 3 days so far and I was finally able to lift id="hidden7" class="buttons"> myself to a kind of crab. Nothing amazing, but already seeing results. Doing your 30 day splits and back every day challenge to see what effect it has. ....وسعت 17

@tatendadune6305منذ 3 سنوات Omg! That second exercise!! I could not stop laughing at how inflexible my back is.

It's exactly what I needed. ....وسعت 27

@myhorshieمنذ 4 سنوات Hi! Im 12 and i always thought i was inflexible. Your videos have helped me VERY MUCH. At first i thought i could never touch my feet to head like you id="hidden9" class="buttons"> did on but after only 1 month of doing this everyday i did do it! I also do your other flexibility videos and i also got my front and middle splits! Thank you so much!!!! ....وسعت 52

@CloudyAsterالعام الماضي I’ve been struggling with scoliosis and sciatic nerve pain a lot lately. Things kept catching in my back. This video really helped me feel looser and like there’s less pressure on my spine. I may not be very flexible or strong yet, but maybe keeping up with this could help. ....وسعت 2

@bryonna2318قبل 7 أشهر Hey so i’m doing this and the other stretching routine for hopefully 1-2months. I’ll update here so i can keep myself consistent!
Day 1: Wow. This was VERY humbling. Really showed me how weak my upper body is and how inflexible my back is. But that’s okay, that is the exact reason I’m here doing this stretch! To get better/improve! In conclusion, day 1 was hard for me personally. Couldn’t even hold myself up in the backbend! But i’ll be able to soon! To anyone seeing this, YOU GOT THIS! Something I’m going to have to tell myself everyday is that CONSISTENCY IS KEY! You might not see improvement in 1-2weeks and that’s okay!! Keep going, you got this!! Day 1 Complete! ✅
Day 2: Y’all this was still humbling. Upper body strength is still TERRIBLEEE. And much hasn’t changed since day 1, this was still pretty difficult for me. But of course, you can’t expect to see a difference in 1 day! See y’all tomorrow! Day 2 Complete! ✅
Day 3: Did not feel like doing this at all today but i reminded myself of what goals i want to accomplish and that this is the way to do so! Very hard to get through it bc i was so tired from school and practice but overall, it’s getting a bit easier. Still hard but getting easier. Day 3 Complete! ✅
Day 4: Had a bad day and sadly didn’t feel like getting up to do my stretches. Day 4 Not Complete! ❌
Day 5: Upper body still weak, haven’t seen any progress, hoping to see some in the next few days! Day 5 Complete! ✅ ....وسعت

@RuthHenriquez1قبل 9 أشهر This is a lovely video, and you're clearly very talented. It seems pretty advanced for beginners though. A video that teaches intermediate exercises id="hidden39" class="buttons"> that work into these would be nice. For example, the crab hold demands a lot of upper body strength that can be developed apart from working this one pose. ....وسعت 1
