I could never touch my toes since I was 7-8 years old. I just touched my toes for the first time after this exercise!!!!!! I had to do it for 10 minutes and I could hold the touch for only 1 second but I did it!! Oh my gosh you’re the best
I was doubtful until I went to test out my own results and I immediately touched my toes??? I've been bothered by a memory of my old coach saying every self respecting athlete should be able to touch their toes, turns out it was easy to learn if you teach it right, thank you!
The entire life I never able to touch the floor and just within 10mins after watching this video, I am able to do it now! This is crazy, blown my mind!😮
OMG!!! I’ve never been able to touch my toes my entire life and 5 minutes after watching this video I was able to touch my toes for the first time!! Thank you so much!
If you looking for a recent comment ive never been able to touch my toes ever 😂 i did this stretch for 1 min and took 30 second breaks i did it 10 times and was able to touch my toes after the 5th minute
I heard that the goal of this stretch is to stretch the hamstring area so you don't need to touch your toes but instead you can stand up and lean backwards and that'll give you the same effect just less dangerous! I'm not a yoga person so I don't really need to touch my toes, but for regular exercise I think the leaning version should do the same trick
WHHHAAATTTTT!!! I literally have never been able to touch my toes before and after a few minutes of this exercise I TOUCHED MY TOES!!!!! You got a new subscriber just for that. Thank yoooouuuuu!!🎉🎉
I can do this I can't do the elephant walks just yet properly because I have hamstring tightness I'm very very tight in that area due to a physical disability but this is going to help for sure
Hi Gaetano! You can definitely use a massage gun for this! Try to run the massage gun down the muscles that are being stretched! We are actually working on a video about how to use a massage gun to get a deeper stretch, so stay tuned for that one!!

I have question , i never workout before and i don't move my body alot in my daily life , and wanna start working out, so should i start with stretching for a weak before i start exercise or start working out directly
So, how are you? If you hadn't started yet, go for it dude. You should train all types of strength anyways, do bodyweight exercises, with weights, extension and mobility exercises like this one, do cardio, do everything with proper rest, food and planning and you'll become Zeus himself. Or, maybe you're him already, I don't really know.
I haven’t done it yet but it improved a little but my lower back hurts sooo much, am I doing something wrong? My knees are also killing me and I’m only 11 years old, am I doing something wrong??
How many time/reps to do a daily routine? My hamstring are made of steel and I don't see any advantage. But my mobility is very very weak and for 40 years I haven't done anything to improve it
Day 1 of this exercise, i hope i can do it within a week EDIT: im actually in shock it's still day 1 and i already managed to touch my toes, i will definitely keep doing this until i can elephant walk

@@RehabReviveWhen doing this exercise which part of the foot do you have your body weight, heel or toe area ?
WOW CONGRATS 🎉

This worked. Amazing. I'm so delighted.
Awesome!! I love that i found this it works and I thought I could never!!! Thank u so much
I just tried this exercise at the gas pump. It took longer to fill up than to touch my toes. And it was very relieving for my lower back. Thanks doc!
It really worked...just touched my toes. Thank you!

Awesome info Dr. Lin!!

I can do this I can't do the elephant walks just yet properly because I have hamstring tightness I'm very very tight in that area due to a physical disability but this is going to help for sure
nice .very good.very informative
We are so glad that you enjoyed the video! We really appreciate your support
Thank you very much! You are the best help!
That worked like magic, in just a few seconds I could touch the floor so easily!
And I was kinda proud I was able to do it after 3 days of stretching 😅
Thankyou so much ❤❤❤
WOW!I touch my toes for the very first time even tho it was for a second but thank you so much,Thank you so much
did this yesterday and was able to touch my toes in 10 mins! today though i am back where i started, any tips?
Dr.Justin what about releasing some muscle tension with the massage gun? which could be the critical muscle to work on?
The problem with these experts is, they rarely reply.
Hi Gaetano! You can definitely use a massage gun for this! Try to run the massage gun down the muscles that are being stretched! We are actually working on a video about how to use a massage gun to get a deeper stretch, so stay tuned for that one!!

@@RehabRevive thank You! we love those video on massage gun ♥️
Waow thanks It is working like a charm !!
Wow! I got to touch my toes. Crazy but true. Thanks so much. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Glad it worked
Omgoodness this actually worked I could never touch my toes thank so much
Is great. But pls. I do have this left hip hike. So can this help with pelvic tilt. Pls. Cos i heard pelvic tilt can also limit toe touching.
Will this works for those with congenital tight hamstring?
Thank you😍
I have question , i never workout before and i don't move my body alot in my daily life , and wanna start working out, so should i start with stretching for a weak before i start exercise or start working out directly
Start by walking
So, how are you?
If you hadn't started yet, go for it dude. You should train all types of strength anyways, do bodyweight exercises, with weights, extension and mobility exercises like this one, do cardio, do everything with proper rest, food and planning and you'll become Zeus himself. Or, maybe you're him already, I don't really know.
I haven’t done it yet but it improved a little but my lower back hurts sooo much, am I doing something wrong? My knees are also killing me and I’m only 11 years old, am I doing something wrong??
Ummmm, what if when I’m trying to do this, my knees are like really tired and I feel nothing in my thighs and legs???
Will this work if I’m already a very inflexible person? Because I am very stiff
How many time/reps to do a daily routine? My hamstring are made of steel and I don't see any advantage. But my mobility is very very weak and for 40 years I haven't done anything to improve it
yes. this exercise works 👍👍👍
It’s so hard I get tired trying to go up and down imma try again geesh
Broo this is magiccccccc thx man ❤🎉
Riight on! Glad you like it!
Finally I touched my toes. Saw many videos ,but this is most effective video for me.
Thanks alot. Will work at it for more flexibility. 🎉
Seems like stretching just never works for me 😔
I can touch my toes. I can even put my hands flat on the floor next to my feet. I do these to loosen my stiff lower back. Is this wrong?
Wait for reply, if any.
Here's another reply!
Hi friend! It is also a very good way to loosen the back! Congrats on being able to reach so low into the stretch! I am jealous!
@@RehabRevive Thank you. I'm nearly 73.
Day 1 of this exercise, i hope i can do it within a week
EDIT: im actually in shock it's still day 1 and i already managed to touch my toes, i will definitely keep doing this until i can elephant walk
I get pain in my si joints when I do this?
is it just me but when i do this my upper back is in pain? im not sure if that's meant to happen or not
is it a stretchy pain or a sharp pain
worked i was aways able to touch the ground but it hurts alot after doing this almost my entire hand can stay on the ground
it hurts my back i dont understand why
Why is it painful or like stressful when I do it
Don't worry, you won't hurt yourself, same thing happened to me but I just powered trough and now I'm fine (and can touch my toes).
YOOOO THIS WORKED!!!!
Nice!!!
Damn this is amazing I'm able to touch my toes just in 30 sec
When I grab my ankles and do butts up I can't straighten my legs. 😢
I cant even go below my knees😣
I’m going to do this and come back when I can touch my toes lol
could you touch?
@@goodshiro10 holy shit 10 months ago😭 yea bru i touched them within like 15 minutes 💀
super
most of ppl cant touch their toes due to lower back issues. theres much more stretching than just hamstrings
I've tried it for three days and I can't do it? Guess I'm not a flexible person?
Update: after four days I did it. Lol! So I guess it does work.
Yay! Yes, it just takes some time!
HOLY SHIT THIS WORKS
HOLY SHIT YOU ARE A GOD, I HAVE ALWAYS STRUGGLED TO GET BARELY PAST MY KNEES UNTIL NOW
Lol im getting closer even after 5 mins, soon i think i will be able to do it
👌🏼🙏🏼
Nope!
YOO
Click bait at its finest
I haven’t done it yet but it improved a little but my lower back hurts sooo much, am I doing something wrong? My knees are also killing me and I’m only 11 years old, am I doing something wrong??
