I dont understand the dislikes... 🤔 this dude is doing an amazing work to show us how to correctly stretch. I mean there are so many garbage videos in youtube about doing splits in a day... like 😑😒 i think tom has one of the best channels for stretching! Thanks tom.
Don’t you understand? People who criticize others are miserably unhappy with themselves. They carry their misery around like a weapon to strike out at those who don’t hate themselves. It has nothing to do with any of us who are victims of trolling, hate speech, or abuse in general. We are not the problem. They have the problem.
Sir, Tom, you should really get the maker of those shorts to start sponsoring your videos. If anyone has proven how well those shorts stretch, while still keeping the royal jewels supported, it's you. #TeamTom
Tom you are truly my favorite human! After doing both your newest hip flexors follow along and this video, I was able to accomplish my front split tonight!! Whoop whoop! I’ve been doing all your follow along videos and has helped me tremendously. Thank you so much Sir!
Thank you! Exactly what I was needing. Separate question, would you consider producing a short daily mobility video for older people, like 70s+? I know it probably doesn't fit into your subscribers demographic but members of my family have shown interest in learning key mobility movements to keep their range of movement as they age. However, even the beginner videos you have seem a bit too intimidating for them.
Got you. Will take a look into what i can manage. If I’m honest, I would recommend some strength work as a priority to the elderly population. Is much more important for maintaining mobility later in life
@@BodyweightWarrior Thank you so much for considering the idea. The elderly family members I'm thinking of are maintaining their strength, they would just like something simple to follow for mobility to help them as they age.
I’ve literally been doing your 20 minute follow-along session for the last two months now. So happy to try this one out. I’m so close to nailing my front splits. Thanks for the great content.
Dear Tom...I have been religiously practicing this video from past 3 months and it worked wonderfully for me. I practice 2 to 3 times in a week. Past one month, I do not feel any further progress though. Can you please suggest if I should keep going with same routine or switch to any further levels you may have. Your guidance will be precious🙌
No way!!! I just wanted to start your previous front split routine as I have never done any stretching in my life. Was looking up your video when I saw this! Amazing!
Great video. How often do you recommend practicing this work out weekly in order to achieve a good range of doing the splits? Is practicing this everyday enough? Or does it need to be coupled with some other exercises? Thanks tom!
Heyyy Tom! Loved your video! Can you talk more about doing the pigeon post? Seems quite hard to keep it at a 90 degree with my hip squared. Is there any preparation on doing it and any poses to relieve the tension in doing pigeon? Thanks!!!!!
I actually find this routine more effective than the old one. Been doing the old one for about 7 months now and now I am almost all the way down to the floor.
@@JeeYaoKuneDo Hard to say exactly how far away I was. But what I can say is that by doing this routine I got down a couple centimetres more. I used to do a full front split routine follow along once a week but for the last 6 months or so I‘ve been doing this routine less often. However I incorporate front split work after my workouts, just not for that long and that intense. I usually sit in a front split for 1-2 minutes, move around, hold the position without the help of my hands and do PNF. Still not quite there though. These last few centimetres really are almost impossible to overcome for me. Hope that helps.
@@thepianoguy981Thanks for taking the time to clarify. I've always thought that with flexibility, it's all about a high frequency. But that doesn't seem to be the case in the flexiblity protocols I've seen so far. Whether it's front split, side split, or bridge. One quality session a week seems to be enough (perhaps sprinkled with a bit of grease the groove).
One question, your knee against the ground or looking out, I mean, do you put your knee to the side when you open your legs? 🤔 cause I can't open much my legs if knee on the ground and my leg goes sideways by itself
@@evilevil15If you want to do a proper full front split, your hips need to be „square“. Meaning your back knee is touching the ground and the front of your back leg is facing the ground, not the side! If you let your back leg open up, this might lead to injuries and generally speaking, it is not proper form. Hope this helps, but Tom has explained this in detail in many videos.
Thanks Tom, your videos have really helped me open up recently. If you could do a routine for kickboxing/muay Thai training me and my team would greatly appreciate it.
Front Split routine, Middle Split routine, Pancake, and full body flexibility. The increased flexibility will increase power, also doing isometrics of the kicks you want will increase power
Is it bad I felt much tighter during the last set of splits? During the first set I felt more open. Also, thank you for explaining so eloquently! I thoroughly enjoyed!
Hey Tom you mentioned a lot of things like loaded mobility, regular mobility, flexibility and lots of different approaches. Can you do something to give advice on how to fit it into a weekly schedule? Sometimes you say that you do something 2 times a week, some things are okay to do everyday and some things just 3-4 times and I guess I'm just confused on how to make a weekly schedule? Anything you can do on this would be greatly appreciated
Great vid as always, Tom! Have you planned to upload a routine for hikers, if not take this as a recommendation? I bet other people would profit as well.
Hi Tom! What do you do for core strengthening and how frequently do you strengthen those areas? I’d love to see a video on your approach to building tone in your core. E.g. do you favor the “7 min ab” workouts on TH-cam? ;) Is there a better approach? Are your videos from a year ago still consistent with your train of thought? Etc. Thank you for the videos, they have helped a lot with my mobility!
7 min abs are just pointless (unless you like them). Heavy compound movements have you covered. Maybe some additional work like leg raises but more don’t need it unless very dysfunctional
I’m an advanced beginner, how often should I do this routine per week so I can finally nail my splits. I feel my body needs rest. Sometimes I feel burned out from all the workout and running. Thank you so much. Love your videos.
Wondered if you had a routine for helping with shoulder mobility, tend for my right one to click sometimes. Not painful at all but just feels like it needs help 😂 im 21 too so idk how its got this way, particularly my right
Look forward to trying this. completely unrelated but how tall is Tom? I'm working on hand stands and being 6 foot with a long torso my pivot point is quite high off the ground when I get upside down and I think this is making it harder to balance. Any tips would be great
Thanks a lot! When doing the lunge stretch on the right side, I have a restriction that is more inside and goes down to knee. I wonder if its the sartorius and/or adductors. I'm not asking for a diagnosis. Just a petition for covering something like that in a future video :)
Its likely your adductors. A quick way to check is to try the stretch, then foam roll the inner thigh and then try the stretch again and see if it's improved.
This is worth a try. But otherwise I'll leave you alone. Good luck! www.google.com/search?q=wall+quad+hip+flecor.kit+laughlin&oq=wall+quad+hip+flecor.kit+laughlin&aqs=chrome..69i57j33i10i160.9936j0j9&client=ms-android-samsung-ss&sourceid=chrome-mobile&ie=UTF-8#
Hey Tom I have a question,as a football Player(soccer) how flexible should I be?like should I be flexible to the point where I can do splits or less then that,because being too flexible for my sport can lead to injury due to loose muscles
So, that all the healthy food still appeals to me more than the processed stuff shows me again that we humans are originally programmed to want healthy, nutritious food!

@@sheikwake Exactly
100% I have messed my low back up following fitness booty band girls. Tom has shown me how to heal myself through mobility 😁

Do you know what brand he uses?
this routine is my all time go-to video. i always get the best "after stretch" results by this, you won't get disappointed.
Tom you are truly my favorite human! After doing both your newest hip flexors follow along and this video, I was able to accomplish my front split tonight!! Whoop whoop! I’ve been doing all your follow along videos and has helped me tremendously. Thank you so much Sir!

Thank you so much for these split stretches tutorials 🙏 they are really painful.. but helpful with my hip joint pain!
Yesyesyesyesyes front split video!! thank you very much, Tom!!! :D
I’ve literally been doing your 20 minute follow-along session for the last two months now. So happy to try this one out. I’m so close to nailing my front splits. Thanks for the great content.
Same! Gonna try this tomorrow
Grateful for this video. Hip flexors burn as the instructor emphasizes squeeze the glutes around minute 26. 🔥 Awesome way to get daily mobility.
Super happy to see an evolved version from your original front splits routine! Thanks for the videos!!!

Best split tutorial on you tube
Thank you for posting. I've been working on my splits this whole year. I'm making progress slowly but surely.
I just wanted to say that today is the first time that I got to do the front splits totally touching the floor!
Thank you so much!!! ✨
Great video thanks for the follow along 🙏🏻☀️

So great, thank you! It really helped my fronts after just one session yay!
OMG yes! I have been VERY patient!
I got my flexibility back. Thanks to you. ❤❤
Can you do a video on how to improve hip rotation in the golf swing?
How often do you recommend doing this routine?

Excellent routine again!!! Got my split range down by 6 inch (right down the floor) in a perfecr sqared position. Thank you for all your help!
I actually find this routine more effective than the old one. Been doing the old one for about 7 months now and now I am almost all the way down to the floor.

And what was your frequency?

Exactly what I needed. A follow along that is really helping to improve my splits
Thanks Tom! Front split is so challenging. Hopefully one day I’ll get there 😆
Never before had I needed something so much, but did not know I needed it until I got it.
Nice! I’m literally just starting on my front split. Just in time! Thank!
Perfect timing and thoughts..so grateful..really needed a change 👌been grinding for 1 year...long awesome journey continues..
Definitely have to try this one on my stretching day! I can tell it's going to be a huge release.
Which would be better for us the original follow along or this one, been doing the first one for a while now
Exactly what i wanted ! Will try it tonight thank’s bro

Great video
Fantastic routine!!!!!
This is a full leg stretch for me 😁 to prepair for a massive leg day the following day 😈
Everyone’s focused on your flexibility while I’m jus wondering how you have such flawless skin.

this routine 2 times a week?

Would it be enough to do this once and the middle split routine once a week or should i do it more often
I loved this! probably got 2 inches lower on my good side, and better on my bad side too!
Do we need to have both sides flexible? My right side is nice and smooth but left is stiff
una pregunta; la rodilla debe ir contra el piso o de forma lateral porque al abrirme mi pierna automáticamente se va de lado y así me abro más fácil
