"Coach Vigue"
I love this routine. I usually do it on rest days and when my legs are sore! I've done it a million times now, it's my go to for stretching!
Love you Coach!!!!! My husband and I enjoy your enthusiasm and random questions throughout the workout sessions. Virtual high five!
Doing this routine on a regular basis and I am gonna get to those splits by graduation. Expect a picture of a guy holding an MSACN doing the splits in an MST3K shirt in May. Thanks, man. I love your videos and they've helped me out a lot with more than just yoga.
Now, that would be LEGENDARY!!! Thanks for training with me, Alex.
Sean
Did He Do it? I'm just Curious. :)
Alex Mammoth I can almost do the splits Alex i have been doing this for 4 days I’m improving already , by the way is it me why can’t I do the splits at the end
Sean I love the way that you motivate and push us all into poses that we might not try on other channels.
Thank you. I speak to the camera the same way I speak to myself.
Sean
Hi Sean. I can honestly say I've never sat and watched a 20 minute video of some guy doing the splits and enjoyed it so much. I'm actually a power lifter and stumbled onto this video by accident. I was that impressed I immediately went on amazon and bought Power Yoga for athletes (I just love things with the word power in them it would seem)
I've set my goal,to do the splits by the end of this year. Cheers. Can't wait for the book to come.
Not sure I'll ever be able to do the splits but in the meantime OMG that felt amazing! That pigeon quad was probably the most amazing quad stretch I've ever done in my life. I just love your videos. Thank you for all that you do Sean!
Hey I am doing this workout from Germany, my name is Tom I am 33 years old and I started Thai Boxing 6 weeks ago, if course I need hip flexibility and mobility, so I looked if you have something like it, I found it here. I am doing one of your morning yoga routines every morning and this one I tried out yesterday for the first time and OMG this feels so good after, I never felt so relaxed and open in my hips. Can't do the full splits of course but I'm gonna do this until I get it, thanks for this wonderful hip stretch routine or whatever! It's amazing man you rock
I been watching a lot of how to do the splits and honestly now I can do it I am looking for an over split video and this video helped me alone thank u Sean
I am not obsessed with splits. I don't know if I will ever get there. My best result is the one on this video with your tighter hip. I also noticed that after this video I feel so fresh!
I have many years of teaching under my belt and when I need a little motivating and some tweeks for poses..I turn to you! Love your style and humour but you also know what you're doing! Thanks Sean!!
You're very kind, Joanne! What do you teach?
Sean
I've been trying to get my splits for a week now using someone else's video, and I found that I was stuck at the same place and not making any progress. then I found this video, and your hip opening ones, and I was able to get my splits on my right side in 2 days! now I just gotta work on my left ones more. I like your videos because they're fast paced and you talk through them, so it's more difficult for me to concentrate on any discomfort I may be experiencing. keep up the great videos!
Good work, Gabriella! Yes, I do enjoy speaking a lot during my videos but I want to make sure describe and instruct through every breath :)
Sean
I'm not there yet, but all of your splits videos help greatly.
Great work! Getting close?
Sean
@@SeanVigueFitness went from 8"(from ground) to 5.5" in about a week.
I can’t tell you how pumped I am I found this
Enjoy, Sam and keep me posted!
Sean
I do this video almost everyday. I can do the splits now! Sean's videos are the best!
How much time did it take for you?
I got it on my first time doing the video, but I had already been practicing yoga consistently for over a year. Just keep at it and you'll get it :)
ok thanks!
Thanks so much! Good work on your splits too :)
Sean
Have you been working with this video, Luis?
Sean
Best routine ever!!!
Immediate results!!!
I had tried a couple of times in the past without any success but after just one trial with these stretches I made it on the right side!!! I am a bit less flexible on the left side but I feel that there is still hope.
Thank you do much!!!
It’s a bit of a dream of mine to be able to do the splits. This was a very inspiring video and i enjoyed following your directions. The only thing stopping me succeeding is lack of patience, wish me luck.
How,d things go?
Awesome !!!! Sean you are an outstanding Yoga/Pilates Instructor. Just " GREAT"
Hi christiam he is
But no like no! Boys think that they can do gymnastics he is good though😰
Did your foam rolling videos and this splits routine this evening after a long day that included a tough spin class and wearing high heels so I needed the release! Thank you for this!
Great split instructions! I have been doing karate for 6 years and the split has always been hard for me. Of course, I am 51 now but hoping if I do these consistently I will be able to match your split Sean.
+John Adams Keep practicing this routine and you'll surpass my splits! When I dropped into them at the end I was a little surprised at how smooth it was. Put in the flexibility training first and enjoy the splits second :)
Sean
At age 51 it has been about 30 years.... I came closer than I have in a long time, even with TKD training. Thanks!
+LJBROMFIELD Excellent to hear! There really is something magically subtle about this routine and I'm honored to bring it to my channel :)
Sean
Did this after i finished your Killer Core Smasher workout and i was really prepared. I do a lot of yoga and other flexibility routines during the week and i was a lot more flexible and able to do the splits on my left side, the right side almost, but i gotta keep working it out and it will happen, but all in all. Enjoyed the workouts and this is great for 41 years old. Much love
+stuart johnson Good work, Stuart! Yes, good choice after the Core Smasher workout...it's a very nice finisher sequence. My right hip flexor is tighter so I work that side a little longer each time.
I'm 41 too :)
Sean
Kewl. I will keep working to make sure that I live the healthiest life possible.
I was always so constipated before I found this video. now it's like Niagara Falls every time I put cheeks to porcelain. Thank you so much for this.
Excellent! Just make sure you courtesy flush each time :)
Sean
I was just noticing yest that I had not done a splits training for a few weeks and here you are!!. I have always enjoyed doing the splits. I suppose doing it regularly is the answer to that .. Thank you Sean. Cheers, Kate :)
+TooFIT4You Are you doing them regularly now? I'm hitting them several times a week and each time it's better and better.
Sean
+SeanVigueFitness How funny!. I loaded this video to do again this morning. Yeah. I have been able to do the splits since I was eight but.. Im almost 45 and you gotta keep at it. What I find if I dont do practise my whole hip function starts to be noticeable. Even with all the yoga I do. I simply know when my body is out of whack. I get aches that usually would not present themselves. Its odd how we go thru stages and forget things for a while. I always feel good when things are stretched out!.. Thanks for the reply.
I'm no where close to doing the splits but I'll get there! Thank you for the great video! I never did much stretching in the past so this has been a great guide.
You really help me improve my posture and flexibility, i cant still react completely the split but im working on it. I stopped doing workouts for nearly 1 month since i had hamstring injury by doing splits without warming up. Definitely lost a lot of flexibility but im working on it...
good work, always good to have another reason to spend 20 mins on my splits!
Hello from Wisconsin, Sean!
Really great video. Doing this a few times a week will definitely help me get there!
+Alexander Beltz Hey Alexander, where in the great state of Wisconsin are you currently?
How are you feeling after a few times?
Sean
Hi Sean! I stumbled upon your videos about a month ago, and I am so glad that I did! I just wanted to comment and tell you that as a professional dancer, even though I have had my splits down for a fair amount of time now, I LOVE this little workout! I am always looking for ways to enhance my flexibility and keep myself limber, and there were a couple of exercises hidden in here that woke my body up in completely new and innovative ways! I really appreciate it, and will continue to keep this one in my pocket :) Thanks so much for being so awesome!
+Mara Brand Hi Mara, thanks for your post and I'm glad we found each other! I love tucking hidden stretches and moves into my workouts that can be game changers...it seems you found them :)
What forms of dance do you do?
Sean
Wow, thanks so much for this one, Sean! Just what I needed! I haven't done the splits since I was in the single-digit age bracket, and I managed to get about 3 inches off the ground! Definite confidence booster. And you're right: gonna sleep well tonight!
+Rudelle Good work, my friend....3 inches is a fantastic place to start. I was actually shocked that I slid all the way down on the first go around. I thought, "This routine really works!".
Keep us posted.
Sean
Starting from scratch returning from a pelvic tilt injury this should b ideal will let u know how it works thanks again
+Declan Donoghue Glad you found the video. How's it going for you?
Sean
Wonderful relaxation poses for my Saturday stretching, great addition to meditation too! Plus it got me warmed up for power yoga next
+Sheri Saperstein Richberg Excellent, Sheri! I hope it was my Power Yoga ;)
Sean
Thank you so much for these videos! You're awesome!
This makes me miss my dad these are pretty easy for me because of my dad
Awsome work Sean! This routine got me closer to doing a split then any other I've tried. Will try to do this every day, thank you.
+John Doe Great top hear, John! Have you made it all the way down yet?
Sean
Sean..this was GREAT!! LOVED it!! I like how you worked towards the splits instead of jumping right into them..I still have a lot of tightness in my hamstrings but I'm actually almost touching the floor!..Can't wait to do them effortlessly
Thanks so much, Alesia! You will do them effortlessly after a few more sessions with this video. Are you still practicing?
Sean
Im not very flexible even though i am still young,its one thing ive been self concious about but im determind to learn
This is amazing. I haven't done splits since I was a child (I am 60). I do yoga often and poorly, though. 2 times through the routine and I an approximately 5 inches from landing on one side and 3 on the other. No recovery stress.
+Kathleen Fisher That's a great first time, Kathleen. Do this routine at least every other day and you'll feel more flexible every day.
Sean
Yeah if you do that your streching your hamsrtings and that causes you to get more further😊🤗👍
Hi Sean, the reverse hurdler stretch puts a lot of pressure on my knees or the front sides of my feet press into the floor and cause joint pain.
Best stretch ever!! This in itself was a workout
+Maries Almarales That's so true, isn't it Maries? Stretching is always a challenge but oh so rewarding :)
Sean
Man!!..your workouts are everything👍👍
Thanks so much!
Sean
Hi Sean, finally gave this one a crack. I loved it and would like to repeat this workout until I become more supple. At the moment, my tendons felt like they wanted to snap. They were as taut as whipcord! I almost got down and did the splits but I figured I would get lower to the mat the more I practice. It was a great stretching workout for the end of the week and ready for the jog tomorrow!
Congrats on your top 1%!! I'm turning 33 this year and it's something I would like to aspire to also. Thanks for the inspiration! Would you mind sharing your menu for the predominant plant based diet one day? I'd like to know what how that would all work out :)
Thanks again and thanks for the awesome videos! I'm a lifelong fan.
+Andrew “ArrowRend” Orr Thanks, Andrew! Good, do this routine after your jogs and take it slow and easy.
I'll probably make a video in the next couple weeks about what I have for breakfast...and it's the same thing every day.
Sean
SeanVigueFitness Thanks for the tip!
I'm not quite there yet but I'm workin on it!!!
+carladaisybee1983 Good work! Practice and enjoy the improvements from day to day :)
Sean
this stretch routine really helped! both of my legs touch the floor, only a few cm left for a full split. the whole time i was following this i was like 'jesus!' bc it really stretched out my legs. i was following a baby stretch routine which did work but this one did the trick
thank you now I can do the splits. You are the best!!😁
Awesome! Still doing them?
Sean
My first time trying out one of your videos and I loved it! So much fun and a relaxing apporach. I havent done yoga for 4 months due to forzen sholder, but decided I can work on splits and other stuff that dont include shoulderwork.... And doing your 20 min practis got me there! Wow! I am finding my way out of this haze I have been in for the last few months :) Thanks! I wish you a great day! :)
You still consistent lmao
It was a great workout ❤
My first time trying. My hamstrings are so tight and hard. I could not get much lower than the pyramid position but will keep trying. Thanks Sean.
+reegm79 Don't get discouraged...you'll feel looser after every time you do this routine. Practice and enjoy :)
Sean
Thanks for taking me there man!
Really great work as usual, Mr. Vigue.
I'm 220 lb (5'8) and was able to get within about 3 inches of a split.
+Church Of Iron Excellent work, my friend! Did you come back to this routine since?
Sean
awesome! helped so much. i should probably do this 3x a day lol
I was ALMOST there!!! Great video!!!
Thank you so much.. The splits are not much of a goal. This session kicked my ass. I'm jiu jitsu guy so this is important to my life style. oss
+Sir Medrano I think the same way too - this routine is all about the total body stretch...and the splits are an unexpected icing on the cake :)
Keep us posted!
Sean
I enjoyed your video, Sean. The neighborhood was filled with the sounds of my painful weeping.
Sorry about that! Are you feeling better?
Sean
Tip-top, my friend! Getting gradually more flexible, and sharing your videos like crazy to my fellow martial artists!
Thank you, Sean! I'll try to do this everyday. For now i am so far away from those splits...
Great! Are you still practicing this routine daily?
Sean
Sean plzzz. I am doing strecthing everyday. but cramps are not going too much pain after exercise and progress is very slow. now I am found your video. going to try this. let's see how's it gonna work. plz give some more idea. do I need any oil massage etc after strecthing. or any other tip
gettin dem splits close, still some work to do! great stuff sean!
How are your splits now?
Sean
@@SeanVigueFitness Wow my comment was from 3 years ago, time flies man.. i was pretty close, but i had some setbacks and injuries on the way. Still stretching, my goal eventually is to get front and middlesplits. By the way Sean, your stuff is awesome👍
Such good energy, subbed
Awesome stuff
In the last two weeks from watching your videos i've gone from the most inflexible man alive to a little bit flexible and it's an incredible change. Thanks for the videos Sean! I've just bought SVF 365 on Kindle! Keep up the great work!
I have a ways to go but I'm working on it!!
+Meredith Reed Good work, Meredith! Practice this routine a few times per week and you'll be "splitting" in no time at all.
Sean
Thank you, I hope so!!
Exactly
I LOVE Your Videos!!!!
Thank you so much I finally found something that work you just gained a sub
I appreciate that, Emmanuel! How're your splits coming along?
Sean
Also, what is a good amount of time to stretch a day? I have been doing a couple of your videos a day and don't want to over do it. Thanks so much for the great content! God Bless
Hi Sean,
I teach yoga, Pilates, weight training, aerobics and a fast Tai Chi! Have asked my son to follow you as he's a busy University student and doesn’t have a lot of free time. Thx for your reply!
Hi Joanne! Thanks for introducing your son to my channel and keep me posted on your workouts and teaching.
Sean
Sean Vigue......You the Man #💪🏼👍🏼 The embodiment of flexible fitness. We're just guys lol. You strike me as a genuine dude and that's why I make you my go to yoga for these splits I need to practice more, to the post workouts, and the morning stretches on my days off. Lead the way brother. Now as to what I felt... I found it to be a good lower body stretch. I did however feel major Charlie horse pain during the pulling back of my back leg while finishing pigeon. What do you think that could that be my friend? Also during the split attempt I felt it in my glute side hipbut not to severe as the hamstrings.. My own guess would be hamstring/glute/hip flexors tightness?Or dehydration? My only other symptoms is tightness in my right knee during some stretches that address my lower body, mainly pigeon, figure 4 sitting on a chair mildly pushing 4 directions bending forward. I got that move from another stretch enthusiast 😁 any advise is helpful my homie. God bless
This is the channel for me. Gonna start doing these for MMA.
Glad we found each other, Carter! Keep us posted on your progress.
Sean
Yes finally I been wanting to b able to do a split forever 1st day an I'm hype
+Mspcakes Gilliam Congrats! This routine leads you very smoothly into the splits. Practice and have fun :)
Sean
Ok question for the Master, i always hear to my body wants me to do while i try to follow you too lol. When i work out (usually 3-4 times per week) I do plank for 3.40 min , then a butt exersice for 3 sets of 20 and then one time yoga, next the same plank-butt and stretching exersices, next time the same with stretching, and then the same with pilates. Ok this is my training programme for myseolf. BuT I FEEL VERY VERY TIGHT..should i do more stretching to relief my muscles?
Amazing improvement
Excellent! Still doing them?
Sean
Nice...I'm currently at hovering splits. Feeling like Gumby after, fantastic.
+Jaimee K Excellent, Gumby is very flexible. Are you still practicing this routine?
Sean
+SeanVigueFitness , yes, at least 2x a week. I'm slowly getting there...it helps my hip flexibility the best, it gets that weird muscle in my groin, my psoas? Hips are my biggest and hardest problem to remedy, this is one of the best exercises for me. I thank you, Sean!
Man wtf I love this guy. His energy is fucking great😭😭😭😭😭
Haha, thanks, Taj! I love what I do ❤️
Sean
Hi Sean,
Thanks for putting this comprehensive stretching video out there for those would want to achieve the splits! I've been actively trying to achieve these splits with stretching routines like yours for 6 months now, and honestly I feel very little progress, which is frustrating. I try to do a thorough stretch routine like yours 3-4 times a week, I guess I'll have to up my game. I believe it's my hip flexors that are too tight... is everybody really able to achieve the splits?
Thanks for the stretching videos all the same!
-Kelly
Of course not !
Great workout! Should I do this everyday to achieve the splits or is once a week good?
Hi, everyday acuatully you get more progress hope the advice works!😁
I'm getting better on my splits
Nice work, Jimmy!
Sean
very good
I have done the 5 day split challenge and now this. My hamstrings are the so short from years of racing cycling. You can drive a bus under my front leg. Still if it takes a year, I will keep going.
Time cop territory@JCVD 😎😂😂😂
I would like to learn to get deeper in my over splits
Did this video help, Delencia?
Sean
I did it
Great!
Did you consider doing a video building up to a handstand?
+RogerR0305 I need to practice my handstands again...it's been a looooong time.
Sean
what is that lying down stretch you do suppose to stretch? I can never really feel it, been trying for a couple days now.
Lying on my stomach with my thigh on the mat?
Yep!
I believe that's the hip flexor massage move that I do every night while I read. It loosens me up in those tight spots.
Sean
loving it! I'm gonna do this and then the "Best Hip Stretches" video and then the "Best Deep Hip Stretches" and maybe even "Best Damn Stretching Video in The Universe"!
+orangeorphan You'll be the MOST flexible person on the planet after all those routines :)
Sean
Nice!
Three days since my weekly jog and I'm still sore. This stretch should help. How close am I to the splits? Far far away :)
+M Champ Far far away turns into far away and then just...there. Keep at it!
Sean
still have a lot to work to do before I can make it, but I've definitely made farther than I thought I could.
+Demitrios Parsons Woodson Good work, Demitrios! You'll go a little further each time with this routine.
Sean
hey, was reading an email where this guy was saying the reason some people have a protruding belly, even though they maybe in overall good shape, is due to inactive hip flexors. relaxed hip flexors push the belly out. eventually the email ended in this guy trying to sell you a DVD and book to "unlock the power of your hip flexors". just wanted your opinion on this please. certainly not going to buy his DVD, but why would I when I've got the book "power yoga for athletes" 😁
good
Godlike
TH-cam really needs a loop or replay button.
Or something that let's you play frame by frame like you can do with Netflix or Hulu. That way you can pause and re-select sections as you need
Thomas McKanna
thanks. you are right. how lazy can i get?
I didn't improve at all, does it take some time?
First day doing this and I hope to do this about every day or so😬😂👌
Are you still doing it, Josiah?
Sean
@@SeanVigueFitness Sean!!! My man! I am going to start doing these exercises/stretches everyday until I learn to do the splits! But I have a question, will this make me flexible like foot behind head sorta thing? Or just splits?
How old are you can we build muscles get stronger and bigger after the age of 40 as well
I DID IT!!!!!!!!
Well played, Cassie!!
Sean
i will sub
Thanks, Buffalo!
Sean
how did he know I have been trying to do the splits the last few weeks? how did he know lol! and along comes this video!
+MooJoo5555 Oh, I can anticipate and deliver on what people are needing from week-to-week :)
How did your splits go?
Sean
I know how to do a front and back limber top that
just 2 inches more !!! Thanks Man! You have a gifted thing inside you :)
I didn't get into my splits :( once in a while I can do the splits (in a very hurtful way) but most of the time no..I stretch very regularly and focus on my breath and all but I feel like I'm making progress veeery slowly.. ( 1 step forwards them again 3 steps backwards and so on) I stretch for about 3-4 years now, sometimes gave it up for a few weeks or even months though.. I think when it comes to flexibity I didn't have much genetic luck..
Have you been practicing this routine frequently or was it a one time thing? I've ben adding this routine to my own workouts lately and my splits are once again improving. For awhile they were pretty tight.
Sean
I did this routine for the first time, before I had an own routine with stretches that I saw on youtube here and there, some of them included stretches of your routine. I will try to do your routine frequently, today I wanted to do it again, but I got sore muscles from yesterday doing the routine. that's also a big problem I get sore whenever I stretch, no matter how much I try to loose up my muscles while stretching.
close I think. I need to shoot video to really see how close. closer than ever for sure!
+MarieSmithJacksMom Good work, Marie. After a week you must be real close to the floor.
Sean
