Learning about elephant walks from you has drastically improved my flexibility. I used to never be able to touch me toes but now I can almost put my palms on the floor!
@@SilasC it’s different for everyone, for me it takes like a week or two to get to a pike, I’ve been on and off for a long time, and I’d say I’m in the mediocre range for flexibility, I’m not super bendy, but I’m not super stiff either. Best thing to do is just stick to it, the most progress happens early anyways so touching the floor with your palms will come quickly
@@SilasC I went from reaching my shins to now reliably tapping my toes without warm-up after about 2-3 weeks of light stretching (I follow this channel's 10 minute stress video just once a day)
@@SilasC I guess depends a lot on your flexibility. I used to be pretty flexible but after years of office work and not moving a lot it has reduced a lot. Just with one time doing this I went from ankle height to touching the floor with my fingertips.
I have had a lot of difficulty walking due to poor flexibility in my nerves. I would walk around the shops with my family and get to the point where I couldn’t move because i would feel pain shooting through my hips and down my legs. After watching some of your videos, I have been trying to do some of the stretches you’ve shown. I haven’t been able to do much but it’s definitely improved my mobility. Thank you so much for making the content ❤
When I first saw your shorts, I was basically screaming out of disbelief, and now I am determined to start and try to get myself to a better condition thanks to you... and the jeans. How do you do this on JEANS?!
@@najifarahman8544 no,it's just that this guy moves SO MUCH and in so many ways, that it is surprising that his pants don't reap just from the inmense amount of long and weird movements
“You are more flexible than you think you are” Sir in PE i got a -20 points on a flexibility test. The average is around 1-4 I am as flexible as a steel pipe
I downloaded that ebook and realized I don't know what any of the stretches are because there's no pictures. Still very nice of you to give it out though!
@@waffle_chair9269 Just put "Movement by David" into your favoritely preferred search engine of choice and the first result it guesses for you will be his website. There you'll find everything you need.
I really appreciate the free e-books! So often I come to channels similar to yours and there's so much to pay for that I just can't afford. You really make things accessible and I super approximately it! :)
Dude you are so chill on these videos. Every movement/exercise TH-camr out there just seems like they would rather show off and give half assed advice or just not talk about the act of working out/stretching at and just say stuff like “get to the gym” the only other TH-camr who is chill like you HybridCalisthenics but you are def up there for me.

I have like zero flexibility now a days cause of health problems and I have just recently changed a lot of things in my life so my next goal is to dedicate time to getting my body healthy and in shape again. This looks slow and simple enough and I like that I can take it slow and try to build up to it if I need to. Most things for health and flexibility are hard for me and really intense but you show simple things I can try and at whatever pace I need it to be so thank u for the tips
David, I do not know what magic elixir you put in this exercise but I swear this morning I could hardly palm the floor and I was just now able to hold a proper split for a full 30 seconds. I’m rather flexible, but a bit stand-off-ish with such a big milestone. This trick gave me enough stretch to hug my legs, giving me the confidence to pull through. I’ve tried actively for about 10 months to work up the courage, using a lot of tutorials which felt excessively painful. I love your encouraging attitude, it makes a total stranger incredibly motivated :)
I think you already recommended it in another short. I started doing it last week and I have to say that the immediate effect is crazy. Hope to make myself more flexy little by little. You are doing great worm with these shorts!
can you please do a video on how people who are seriously overweight can start to stretch and become more flexible? I have a lot of weight to lose and a lot of the mainstream exercises are too difficult for me and I need a workout that will help me increase my flexibility, my range of motion and also help me burn calories and fat. I need something that's low impact basically.
What a person eats affects how much inflammation you have. If you have excess body fat as you say, you have likely Insulin resistance, or also Metabolic Disease. This affects nerves, increase neuropathy in the body. Walking is always the first step with exercise. Start slower, as injury will set you back further. Ligaments and tendons take a long time to heal. By diet, I don’t mean restricting calories. Instead, what and when you eat and drink is important. The government diets don’t work in the long run… they mess with the metabolism and leave you ravenous. No diet pills either… those are dangerous. I would not take medications like statins as they worsen blood sugar (T2D), cause muscle rhabdomyolysis, dementia, Parkinson’s and a whole host of other side effects. Excess carbohydrates and processed foods and processed seed oils, processed drinks including juices, are usually the problem as they increase cravings and addiction in the brain. Food manufacturers create food products designed you get you addicted that you will keep buying them… very manipulative. There are 70-100+ words with mean sugar now. On needs to learn to read ingredient lists. Even sour cream has corn starch added. Sucralose will spike blood sugar. If you have hypothyroidism, that might make the journey slower, until you find a doctor who knows what they are doing… most don’t. Focus on overall health first. Dr. Ken D. Berry has lots of informational videos that explain things simply so you understand how the human body will benefit from things you do, and don’t do…. and why. Remember, the ‘calories in and calories out’ has long been disproven. Don’t get sucked in by people selling a product… as they profit.$$$
I am 5'6 and was about 280lbs of fat. Very little muscle, practically none. I started doing o-mad(one meal a day) for dinner and I've been losing weight like crazy. I was a size 40 waist and XXL shirt size pushing 3XL. I'm now fitting into XL "regular fit" non stretch flannels. My pant size is down to a comfortable 36Waist. I started to use resistance bands with wall mounts (Bob and Brad resistance bands) and I've put on some lean muscle all over my body. My knees and ankles used to hurt for no apparent reason. I have very few days if ever at this point to get aches and pains. My hips rarely hurt and my lower back pain has lessened. I started getting used to flexing my stomach and glutes when lifting/holding something. I think this has played a really big role in my lower back feeling better. I don't know how much I weigh right now. If I had to say, around 210-200lbs. So I've lost about 70-80lbs in 10 months.
You popped into my feed about a week ago and have to be one of the top 5 creators I've ever found. Self care delivered in such a smooth creative and fun way. Chefs kiss my bro. Love from NC
I know its a repeat kinda comment : but fr : your videos help so much, dealing with a connective tissue disease and OA i went years not trusting myself to stretch and these videos just give me the nudges everyday to keep positive
Ok…you might be my new fave video guy. I’m a nurse whose body is rebelling against the mean things I make it do regularly. Your videos are concise, easy to follow AND easy to remember. Thanks! Stay flexi! ✌️ ❤️ 🌎
Just found you literally 5 minutes ago. My hips, hamstrings, and lower back have been SO tight for a while now after spending the a year and a half of Covid college sitting at my computer. Even these 30 elephant walks feel MIRACULOUS. Just downloaded all your ebooks 🙏🏻
This bending the knee for a deeper stretch has been amazing! I have rods and lots of other junk on my lumbar vertebrae, so I've not been able to bend at the waist since it was shattered in and accident at 16, a very.... very😳 long time ago. But, stretching is so key for me and helping stay loose helps my low back pain. I have been able to put my palms flat on the floor a long time, back is forced straight, but I could feel I needed more, and bending my knee has given me a whole new deep stretch and I know it sounds lame to be excited about a stretch... but, anything I can do to ease even a small bit of this pain is something I am SO thankful for!! I really appreciate it! Love your channel!!!
Thank you! I really appreciate your content, I’m a dude who hate stretching and always has but my hamstrings are so tight now that I can’t lift properly which I need for my job so I just wanted to say thank you even though you’ll probably never see this.
I got all your guides and just had to donate to support you. Thank you for giving out this information for free. Do you also have/could make an ankle mobility guide by any chance? I want to improve my plantar flexion to swim better because my limited range of motion is holding me back
What an amazing little video! I’ve been stretching seriously for about 9 months and have been stuck at palms-to-floor. After doing this I can do palms to floor on Yoga blocks. Thank you brother
Thanks for this - behind my knees there is so much tightness! This burns and hurts at first but definitely see a benefit just after one session! Will continue to do this.
I did this stretch and I liked it alot. To support my back I placed a chair in front of me, because beeing old is no joke! ^^ Thanks for the inspiration! :)
Thank you for inspiring me to get flexible and teaching me this hack, tried to do an arm standing leg tuck into the splits...Broke my pelvis in 3 places! Words cant express my gratitude for teaching me the way of the flex!
