LillyPoppins no, that was her face when she was eating junk food and not taking care of herself, the glo up episodes took place in the past and shes editing them now
I did this routine even though I struggled with every single stretch. Coz that's the amazing thing about you Alivia, you encourage people to push their limits and get back on track when it seems like there's no hope of ever achieving my goals. Thanks so much for another amazing, inspiring vid xx
You're welcome Alivia! Thanks so much for replying :) ... And guess what - today I was finally able to fall into a bridge and get back up to standing from one! Bear in mind I've been trying to do this for over a year with no luck. thank you for believing in all of us x
Alivia, I want to thank you. A sincere thank you for being such a positive, radiant light. You are probably the most inspired, determined teen girl-teen in general-I have ever come across. I know that sometimes people just put on a brave face for TH-cam videos, but I don’t feel that from you. When I listen to your voice I can tell that you’re authentic. That you are doing what you are doing for a purpose for yourself, but you want us to be here for the journey with you. I’ve been going through a dark stage in my life for a little bit now, but your videos give me more than hope-they give me inspiration. And that’s something you don’t find often. You are an inspiration, and you make me want to aspire to be a better person. I wish you the world.
I love how this is actually FULL body stretching, not 13 minutes of legs/hips and the last 2 minutes basic back stretching. I actually feel fully stretched after this. Thanks for this amazing routine!!
I remember doing this 2 years ago,i did it everyday and it stopped being painful.But after a year I stopped,I couldn’t force myself to do anything and I didn’t want to even get up and wash my face.I still feel that way but today,when I was scrolling I saw one of ur videos and it reminded me of times when I was full of energy and determined.It made me want to return that “me”.I just want to say thank you,every your video motivates me to do something with my life :)
hey coronavirus school/dance/everything break seems like the perfect time to get my splits, right? wish me luck :) i’m gonna do this everyday for the next few weeks to gain flexibility since lack of just that has severely crippled me as a dancer lmao
well done great way to use up all this extra time if you need any help you can use my safe tutorials been splitting for years and I have never been injured doing it experience at the end of the day counts
What’s amazing about you is that while you are already an inspiration to the world because of unfortunate incidents you fell to your lowest but you come back up stronger than ever 💖 what I’m trying to say is that you’re a v strong person Alivia and I’m trying to be more like you!!
wow im not even close to this level. im a dancer and i can't even sit up straight with my legs out without my hamstrings screaming at me :( i recently started doing alivia's beginner routine every single day. sometimes it feels like I'll never be able to touch my chest to my knees like everybody else. it just feels like ill always have tight hamstrings and I'll never be able to do my splits or even do a pike. but im trying not to lose hope and believing that every day will get me a step close to getting that perfect pike or perfect split like all of you beautiful people and alivia. pray for me guys 💗 edit: wow thank you so much everybody you're all so beautiful and kind ❤ thanks for all the encouragement and support ! you guys are the best 😁
You WILL get it. Push past your limits (not to where it's painful) and DONT QUIT. You got this! Every night before bed, I do Alivia or Anna McNulty's streching routine. You got this.
you will most likely get your split first then your pike but i dont stretch my hamstrings because im not really focusing on my hamstrings right now i will start my stretching rountine on November 1st and I was supposed to start October 1st but then i got a cold so im waiting to get back to normal so i can do it fully and then im doing gymnastics so yeah just go at your own pace and you will be fine but dont go to slow like stretching once a month like i used to before i started gymnastics
I'd say the key is warmth and warming up your hamstrings before the pike etc. I sometimes used a warm bottle to massage the back of my legs (using like a foam roller) to warm up the muscles and relaxing them even further. I am very unflexible but this trick actually helped and I didn't get that much muscle soreness afterwards :-)
I actually did this entire stretch because I had lost most of my flexibility so I've been stretching lately and I'm just starting dance again because I stopped for 2 years due to my foot and I've been dancing since I was 2 and this stretch really helped thx!
Girl I’ve been following your beginner stretch routine for months and it was getting way too easy...... THIS IS Exactly what I’ve been needing!! You are my favorite flexibility *coach* and I just wanted to say how much you’ve helped me- I’m able to do both my right and left splits ( still can’t get my scorpion for some reason ) but I can do handstand and working on my front and back walkover! Honestly I feel so much stronger and like.. ready for more... like the grit thing you e said in older videos.. so thank you ;!
There are many instructors online with different methods of stretching myself included and you can use my safe tutorials, I've been splitting for years and I have never been injured. experience at the end of the day counts
This girl is such a trooper I love her. Your talks midway really do help motivate me and the rest of us. Thank you so much for making us go through this
I always feel better after watching your videos even if it’s just a clip or two. You’re so calming and yet so encouraging at the same time. Thanks for uploading today.
I keep giving up and laying in bed unmotivated and I’m loosing my splits which I worked so hard for, and I saw this video on my recommended I’m now going to change into my workout clothes, wipe away my tears do a work and come back to this video. Trust me, if your reading this and your unmotivated, think about yourself in a month, a week, a year, think about how far your gonna be. don’t let me, alivia, your family, YOURSELF, down, you’ll regret it. you can do it. I believe.
I have literally been working on my middle splits for 3 months now the 1st month and half I was not consistent but every since September I have remained consistent and I have started seeing progress . I am so close I can feel it ,(Literally ;in terms of pain ) I just hope everyone trying to achieve a flexibility trick/ stretch will get there and remember If it doesn't challenge you it won't change you
This kicked my butt! I’m a competitive dancer and I thought these would be a piece of cake (I could do all the moves but I struggled)! Great Routine! I’m going to do this everyday!
When you said go into the splits I thought “well there’s not really any point of me doing it when I don’t know how to” but then I tried and guess what happened I DONE THEM =)))))))
She's literally the reason I'm flexible now in all of the splits n most of the stretches,i wasn't flexible at all but cuz of her stretching videos n tips I made it to here i literally tried to follow other ones here but no one is like her
pro tip: If any of you already have your splits but they hurt a TON, try stretching your oversplits (Even if you dont go much lower then your normal split) and that will make the pain in your regular splits go down by a landslide. :)
I came to this to use as a deep stretch before a workout. And let’s just say I think this was my workout. I’m tingly lol. But what saddens me the most is that I used to pride myself on my flexibility and now I see that I have really lost some of it after graduating high school (ergo not being on the dance team dancing and stretching every day) and I am really inspired to get my flexibility back. So I will be continuing to use this. Thank you Alivia you always come through
Many years later, I still love your routine. I'm not a dancer or anything but your stretching vids made me want to start stretching and it helped me got my splits.
i’ve been watching this video for 2/3 years now, and i can say that YOU are who kickstarted my journey toward physical and mental strength. your reminders and affirmations all throughout the video have genuinely changed my life. thank you for everything you do alivia!!🥰
I got my right splits after this! You're such an inspiration, unlike others during the stretches you push us past are limits. Whenever I think of you i think "No room for pushing past your limits no room for improvement." You've brought me on many stretching journeys and ive loved them. Your videos are my life, thank you.
Alivia you have helped me through my darkest times when I felt like giving up, but I kept going because I knew you would be there to motivate me. You don't know the power and influence that you have on people so please know that you are an inspiration and i would love it if you would give a ted talk one day
this is by far my favorite full body stretch video ever. i love how the splits are all held for a minute, the front splits even have different variations to them while stretching. i also love how she added “warm up” stretches to prepare you for a middle split, it makes a huge difference, i’ve even gotten my middle splits from it. there are just so many aspects to this video making it easily my favorite. the motivational messages, it really got me through my middle split as that’s the most challenging split to me. i love u alivia
For the past 3 years Alivia has been my go to for follow along stretching routines. I've always taken so much pride in my flexibility but after the color guard season ended in fall 2020, I stopped stretching. Life got busy and I lost my motivation for it. Lately I've noticed how much of my flexibility I've lost and I started being unkind to myself because of it. So today has started my flexibility journey. Ive always wanted to be able to have all 3 splits and be able to do a needle. So here we go. Day one I have a flat right split, and an almost to the ground left and middle but still a lot of work to do. Im not close to a needle, I can do a pretty good scorpion but my back isn't flexible enough for a needle. But I want it and im gonna work for it. Let's do this, Alivia!
I just wanted to say that I absolutely LOVE this mini split routine in this video. I've always had problems with leaning lower in my split and I've always been inches from the ground and felt that I wasn't improving anymore. Now I've improved :D
I got injured just like you a few months ago, and got operated on March. Seing you without (or really almost) any aftereffect brings me so much hope about knowing that I'll may (soon) be able to get my flexibility back when my leg will be better ! Thanks for that, you are so persistent, keep doing what you do !
Sis I love you but that “let’s get flexible dreamers” really freaked me out in the beginning lol. Super helpful vid though, your voice is so calming. I’ve improved so much from this series
I have been working a lot in my middle splits since the last year, but I constantly given up and stopped practicing for a couple of months. But now I'm back in the game thanks to your motivation Olivia! You are such a big hearted person. God bless you💖 Btw I follow your routines everyday from Mexico haha, sigue con el buen trabajo!
I made it through all the stretches! The middle splits one usually kills me and I always give up and come out but your encouraging words helped me make it through! Ty💕
omg i came back here after long time, no one can motivate me as much as you do, you are amazing and thanks for this, as a beginner or maybe high beginner? hahahah i did it! im so proud!
That’s such a good idea because I have this thing with my knees where when I’m in middle splits they feel like they are about to crack... I never thought about that before lol :)
I’ve been following her beginners routine for about a month now, and I’m just watching this because it’s starting to get to a point where I’m comfortable, so I want to see what’s up next. Now I know that THIS is where I want to be, and with how the beginner’s routine’s been going, hopefully I’ll be able to get there soon. I wouldn’t be this far w/o you Alivia, so thank you!!
This was honestly the perfect stretching vid for me personally, perfect level, I was able to do everything fully and with a challenge too. This was perfect
honestly alivia ur stretching videos are the only ones that have ever workef for me. i did ur leg flexibility stretches thing for a year and i got super happy with my leg flexibility but then i injured my hamstring and stop dancing for 2 years. i just came across this a week ago and im already almost where i was before my injury!
Greetings from south america y'all Days doing this: -1 -2 God I feel really sore😟 My straddle and middle splits improved -3 In the middle of the routine I started laughing because I cannot believe how good my straddle/splits are today! 😂I am almost in the ground in the frog position -4 Left splits hurting, knees hurting from middle splits -5 ouch my harmstrings! maybe I should start triying oversplits -6 7-YASS I SURVIVED THE OVERSPLITS EASILY! 8-Adding small pillows little by little -9 WFT 15 cm or less in my middle splits, yesterday i did the middle split stretching routine and somehow went from 30 cm to 15 cm 10- Had to stop in the middle of the routine, my hips are really really sore! 😯 They just don't stop hurting, and it has been almost a week since I did the middle splits routine but still hurts 11- Days go by and the pain doesn't go away... so I'm back stretching but with alternatives, my straddle still hurts, my front right split still hurts however my pike and hip flexor doesn't ¿? I've also overstretched my back aftee so many days without legs... auch 12- same as 11, minor improvement in back flexibility :) 13-still injured 14-Still injured and my back is also injured now 🤣 15- still injured back and legs, now I'm fearing of injuring my hips and shoulder because they are the only thing I can stretch lol 16-same 17-same 18-gosh it's been a month and still hurts, all I can do is a few lunges and the pigeon pose. I discovered a way of active split stretching withouth hurting my legs and back. Go into a downward dog, lift one of you legs and bend it and kick My dream now is to be able to do the routine... something that a month ago was so easy!😢 19- now it hurts a little less than before. But I don't improve anymore 20- The bright side of this is that my hips are getting really flexible 21 22 23 90° in pigeon pose (right leg) 24- 25- 26- 27- 28- I think I will stretch my toes more often -15 stretching routines later- My frog pose is almost there
This is a bit late but if you aren't warming up before this video then that's why it's painful! Before doing intensive stretches always warm up - for example jumping jacks or running on the spot. If it feels like a good pain then that means you are doing the right thing and it is working. I hope this helped!
@@jaimiedelittle1873 Sorry, I forgot to write that I stretch after 40 min of working out legs/arms/core and I warm up before so I thing that is not the problem😕 Thanks for the suggestion tho, I've seen lots of comments complaining about why they are able to split a day and not another ones, and that is the absolute reason. Stretching without being warmed up can lead to really serious injury! (And it seems that overstretching too)
Alivia is great but I feel like she should stress more that you should not push past your limits to the point that it hurts badly because it can be dangerous.
Every time i think of not doing it... i remember what she said "you can't expect to succeed by only working on the days you feel like it. You have to show up every day and exceed your limits" "the moments when you really don't want to do something, is when it's crucial to do it, those are the moments of change". Thanks Alivia, you're such a beautiful inspiration❤ (sorry if there is any mistake, im way on improving my English)
I want to say thank you so much for your videos. I am feeling lost and hopeless these days but every time I take some time off my day to focus on my stretching routine with your videos helps me a lot and I feel less stressed and anxious afterwards. It also helps me improve my stretches which makes me super happy too , Thank you
I love watching you routines. They help so much. I’ve been doing them everyday and the results are crazy! I love you and are videos they are so helpful and so aesthetic♥️♥️
I have been consistently stretching following other videos on yt and was not really feeling many of the stretches and I felt like I wasn’t challenging myself to my fullest potential, this is PERFECT, thank you 💕💕
alivia, thank you, thank you so much. i was struggling so hard to start with some change and you were the only person who made me really do it. i'm still half through the way of getting my splits or being able to call myself completely flexible, but all your stretches helped me so much, especially this routine. that's not the only part i'm seeing myself changing at though. my problem with acne was here for almost four years. but only now, when i started thinking differently, practicing yoga, being way more aware of what i eat and how i spend my time, i can see it getting clearer already. same goes for my mind. you helped me gain confidence and gave me that first push to get my life together. please, don't stop what you're doing. i bet i'm not the only one who's really grateful for it
I have used your old stretching routine for a while and the stretches have gotten easier overtime. I tried this for the first time and some of them were really challenging but you told me to go past my limits and you encourage me to keep going. Love you alivia.
ALIVIA IS BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You have helped me so much in the past. You helped me get my backbend, back walkover, splits, and my flexibility. I remember when I was SO NOT FLEXIBLE but now i'm one of the most flexible dancers in my dance class. Thank you
15:18 i got my middle splits back! I didn't have time to stretch for the past few weeks so.. I lost my left split and middle split. Also the back flexibility. Thank you so much!
Alivia idk what u may be going through now and I haven’t watched ur recent videos yet but I just want u to know that u are absolutely inspiring. I appreciate all of ur videos and the honest encouragement that comes with experience is so awesome and world changing that I just want to thank u. Know that whatever ur going through u are stronger, u are tougher, u will persevere and girl ur beautiful!! Inside and out. Ur a world changer and don’t forget that. Thank u so much I appreciate u. ❤️❤️❤️
honestly i believe that your encouraging words that you say throughout the video REALLY help me to keep pushing and trying harder...and you say them at the perfect time...like at the middle splits you said that you might want to fall off but do not because you are so much stronger than you know and you said that at the perfect time because i was about to give up...thank you alivia for everything
Alivia I hope you see this .your channel is Soo inspiring . You always push me to my goals and you motivation words were the only thing I needed after hearing them I was able to do my splits and other goals without pain you have changed my life and many people. and also the streches that you give are so effective . Hope you are safe 😘
I did cheer two years ago and had my splits and was super flexible. After I moved away I just stopped stretching completely and i'm so glad I found you! I'm starting to get my flexibility back!
I like your videos and espacially these stretches are amazing i always do them before dancing, but sometimes I feel like you are a little too focused on improvement and define yourself through your achievements too much and don't let yourself rest at all. I hope you love yourself regardless of your achievements and don't work too much. Don't be so determined to achieve your goals that you don't notice when you overdo it and let yourself rest from time to time ^^
I’m a rower and not super flexible.... I was excepting not too hard of a stretch, but holy crap! I was not expecting that. My splits are so bad, it’s insane! I’m gonna do this routine everyday and see how it changes my flexibility!
*while holding middle split* her: “dont give up you got this it’s your mind telling you that you can’t” me: ur right yeah!! her: “just a little longer!” me: uh oh her: “you can do this” me: YES I CAN *falls on face* no i can’t!
I used to do this 2 years ago? Don’t quite remember but doing this now brings back tons of nostalgia. 2020 was a rollercoaster and I didn’t exercise nor stretch much. In result, I lost some flexibility and core strength. It’s alright though! 2021, i’m regaining it all and coming stronger!
i have been watching your videos for ages mainly the splits routines as I,ve been trying to get them for years but injury or other commitments always sets me back. I just wanted to say that you have come such a long way. you look so beautiful and confident and your flxibility is amazing.
I used to do this routine every day or every 2 days a few years ago, it was life changing. The progress I saw was amazing. But then.. I dropped out of it. Then I thought about myself back then and myself now. I was so organised back then, and I decided to bring it back. So here i am
Same! I used to be much more flexible before, as I stretched every day. I can still do this, but not as easily as before. I need to stop being lazy and start stretching again 😭😭
Ive been doing this for 1 month and I'm only 2 inches away from the middle splits!!! I've been watching you for 2 years now and you have helped me so much with my flexibility you are the only youtuber that truly inspires me to stretch. You are such an amazing person and I wish you luck on getting your middle split back.

Ok
I saw it and it motivated me so much like so much! Thank You Alivia!!
Wow is it just me or is her skin look bare and clear absolutely beautiful
Samiyah Taylor she is wearing makeup. She has lots of acne.
LillyPoppins no, that was her face when she was eating junk food and not taking care of herself, the glo up episodes took place in the past and shes editing them now
LillyPoppins she looks beautiful how about you just stop.
LillyPoppins even if that was true, makeup does not cover the actual bump or make acne flat. it’s not a miracle worker.
@@mellowmonday that was the past
I got my freaking middle splits after this
Do you know how much this means to me?
Yesssssssssss
@itsjust ha yeah, before doing those stretches I was very close to the ground. After the stretches, I got it :)
After watching her leg streach, I got my right split!!! ( I already had my left)
@@Emily-db5mf omg, congrats ❤️❤️❤️ I'm also trying to get better on my right side (that's my weakness)
I can do the middle splits buttt not all the way. 😭
I did this routine even though I struggled with every single stretch. Coz that's the amazing thing about you Alivia, you encourage people to push their limits and get back on track when it seems like there's no hope of ever achieving my goals. Thanks so much for another amazing, inspiring vid xx
Keep going ! ✊
You're welcome Alivia! Thanks so much for replying :) ... And guess what - today I was finally able to fall into a bridge and get back up to standing from one! Bear in mind I've been trying to do this for over a year with no luck. thank you for believing in all of us x
PREACH GIRL
I totally felt the samr way
Alivia,
I want to thank you. A sincere thank you for being such a positive, radiant light. You are probably the most inspired, determined teen girl-teen in general-I have ever come across. I know that sometimes people just put on a brave face for TH-cam videos, but I don’t feel that from you. When I listen to your voice I can tell that you’re authentic. That you are doing what you are doing for a purpose for yourself, but you want us to be here for the journey with you. I’ve been going through a dark stage in my life for a little bit now, but your videos give me more than hope-they give me inspiration. And that’s something you don’t find often. You are an inspiration, and you make me want to aspire to be a better person. I wish you the world.
Bethany Lee that's so nice

Wow,never thought I'd see a comment this recent,but how are you doing?

Same.... I just haven't been bothered... Let's just keep exam season as my excuse😉

Congratulations!! Slay queen!! I'm working on my splits
I can't believe your acne is gone .. your skin is so beautiful 💕
She's literally the reason I'm flexible now in all of the splits n most of the stretches,i wasn't flexible at all but cuz of her stretching videos n tips I made it to here i literally tried to follow other ones here but no one is like her
I LITERALLY like screamed "YES!!!" 😂😂💕💕💕
Haha me too😂
Why
Sana Khurram I think it's pretty obvious
Not the routine who changed me but your words😍😍😍😍
totally gonna try this i probably can do most of them just never thought of them 🌹🌺🎲
What did you reach so far?
pro tip: If any of you already have your splits but they hurt a TON, try stretching your oversplits (Even if you dont go much lower then your normal split) and that will make the pain in your regular splits go down by a landslide. :)
Thank you so much I badly needed this
That’s a good idea thanks!
Finally knowledgeable information
Tysm I tried this tip and it works do you have any tip for back flexibility?
Thanks, I've gotten much better at the middle splits.
Thank you, you are so inspirational I have been motivated to keep going with myself no matter what happens thank you so much you are truly awesome 👏🏼
I came to this to use as a deep stretch before a workout. And let’s just say I think this was my workout. I’m tingly lol. But what saddens me the most is that I used to pride myself on my flexibility and now I see that I have really lost some of it after graduating high school (ergo not being on the dance team dancing and stretching every day) and I am really inspired to get my flexibility back. So I will be continuing to use this. Thank you Alivia you always come through
her voice is so charming
Many years later, I still love your routine. I'm not a dancer or anything but your stretching vids made me want to start stretching and it helped me got my splits.
Your skin is so clear and beautiful! 💗
i’ve been watching this video for 2/3 years now, and i can say that YOU are who kickstarted my journey toward physical and mental strength. your reminders and affirmations all throughout the video have genuinely changed my life. thank you for everything you do alivia!!🥰
I got my right splits after this! You're such an inspiration, unlike others during the stretches you push us past are limits. Whenever I think of you i think "No room for pushing past your limits no room for improvement." You've brought me on many stretching journeys and ive loved them. Your videos are my life, thank you.
Yas look at her skin clear flexible body SNATCHED what a queen
Alivia you have helped me through my darkest times when I felt like giving up, but I kept going because I knew you would be there to motivate me. You don't know the power and influence that you have on people so please know that you are an inspiration and i would love it if you would give a ted talk one day
Your confidence and your optimism is so attractive
Stay strong Alivia. Keep your face towards the sun, then your shadows will fall behind you 💓💞❤️🍭
I feel so good whenever she uploads anything 😭
this is by far my favorite full body stretch video ever. i love how the splits are all held for a minute, the front splits even have different variations to them while stretching. i also love how she added “warm up” stretches to prepare you for a middle split, it makes a huge difference, i’ve even gotten my middle splits from it. there are just so many aspects to this video making it easily my favorite. the motivational messages, it really got me through my middle split as that’s the most challenging split to me. i love u alivia
love you so much and your acne is getting so much better!! thanks for this!! 💛#notificationsquad
For the past 3 years Alivia has been my go to for follow along stretching routines. I've always taken so much pride in my flexibility but after the color guard season ended in fall 2020, I stopped stretching. Life got busy and I lost my motivation for it. Lately I've noticed how much of my flexibility I've lost and I started being unkind to myself because of it. So today has started my flexibility journey. Ive always wanted to be able to have all 3 splits and be able to do a needle. So here we go. Day one I have a flat right split, and an almost to the ground left and middle but still a lot of work to do. Im not close to a needle, I can do a pretty good scorpion but my back isn't flexible enough for a needle. But I want it and im gonna work for it. Let's do this, Alivia!
Please do a stretching rountie for person who haven't stretched in months!!!!♡♡☆☆
Do her basic streching routine. Make sure to warm up.
Alivia hasn't stretched in months😂
How about who hasn’t stretched ever lol
getlost_ yassss
Shay El how is that possible😅
did this in par of my usual yoga routine and OMG those inspirational messages have got me PUMPED
Great! Needed this, my old routine didn't stretch me enough so this is great.👍💯🏆😎👊😉😍
уυchiii subliminals yep same i was looking for something more advanced. Good luck with stretching!
@@sillykork8291 same to you!
I just wanted to say that I absolutely LOVE this mini split routine in this video. I've always had problems with leaning lower in my split and I've always been inches from the ground and felt that I wasn't improving anymore. Now I've improved :D
I WAS SO EXCITED FOR U TO UPDATE YOUR VIDEO ❤️ I love how inspirational you are you’re my role model alivia!!
I got injured just like you a few months ago, and got operated on March. Seing you without (or really almost) any aftereffect brings me so much hope about knowing that I'll may (soon) be able to get my flexibility back when my leg will be better !
Thanks for that, you are so persistent, keep doing what you do !
*I love how this is so calming*
3 years later, still doing this same routine. I luv u so much Alivia:)
ME TOO
This is an incredible video...but did she just film it in the hallway of an office building?! 😂
Maddie Fishblob ikr. maybe it’s an airport lol
It's a separate stretching hall
Its her apartment
Sis I love you but that “let’s get flexible dreamers” really freaked me out in the beginning lol. Super helpful vid though, your voice is so calming. I’ve improved so much from this series
Your skin got so much better!! I’m so proud of you❤️
I have been working a lot in my middle splits since the last year, but I constantly given up and stopped practicing for a couple of months. But now I'm back in the game thanks to your motivation Olivia! You are such a big hearted person. God bless you💖 Btw I follow your routines everyday from Mexico haha, sigue con el buen trabajo!
i did this routine everyday for a week and my flexibility improved a lot and i am very greatful
I made it through all the stretches! The middle splits one usually kills me and I always give up and come out but your encouraging words helped me make it through! Ty💕
your voice is a treat for my ear .such a great voice😍😍
omg i came back here after long time, no one can motivate me as much as you do, you are amazing and thanks for this, as a beginner or maybe high beginner? hahahah i did it! im so proud!
I love how you included a HUGE variety in this vid.
Ps. Glad to see your skin is clear. Mine's still a work in progress, but it's getting better 😊😊
I used to stretch with another tutorial, found this one today, which seems way deeper and more challenging, so I'll start doing it tomorrow
My legs: okay we got this
My arms: yep this is easy
My back: no.
At first it was the same for me, but after a few times streching i saw some improvement and now i can do a scorpian:)
For me my arms and back could do it but my legs were like NOPE
same
her inspirational messages actually have depth
I read comments during the middle splits to distract my mind 😂
who doesn't
Emma! Me too tho lol 😂😂
hahaha me too
That’s such a good idea because I have this thing with my knees where when I’m in middle splits they feel like they are about to crack... I never thought about that before lol :)
Ilysm you are really making a difference in this world, thank you for existing and not giving up ❤
Almost a week of stretching with this video everyday! I've already seen results!
I’ve been following her beginners routine for about a month now, and I’m just watching this because it’s starting to get to a point where I’m comfortable, so I want to see what’s up next. Now I know that THIS is where I want to be, and with how the beginner’s routine’s been going, hopefully I’ll be able to get there soon. I wouldn’t be this far w/o you Alivia, so thank you!!
This was honestly the perfect stretching vid for me personally, perfect level, I was able to do everything fully and with a challenge too. This was perfect
honestly alivia ur stretching videos are the only ones that have ever workef for me. i did ur leg flexibility stretches thing for a year and i got super happy with my leg flexibility but then i injured my hamstring and stop dancing for 2 years. i just came across this a week ago and im already almost where i was before my injury!
Greetings from south america y'all
Days doing this:
-1
-2 God I feel really sore😟 My straddle and middle splits improved
-3 In the middle of the routine I started laughing because I cannot believe how good my straddle/splits are today! 😂I am almost in the ground in the frog position
-4 Left splits hurting, knees hurting from middle splits
-5 ouch my harmstrings! maybe I should start triying oversplits
-6
7-YASS I SURVIVED THE OVERSPLITS EASILY!
8-Adding small pillows little by little
-9 WFT 15 cm or less in my middle splits, yesterday i did the middle split stretching routine and somehow went from 30 cm to 15 cm
10- Had to stop in the middle of the routine, my hips are really really sore! 😯 They just don't stop hurting, and it has been almost a week since I did the middle splits routine but still hurts
11- Days go by and the pain doesn't go away... so I'm back stretching but with alternatives, my straddle still hurts, my front right split still hurts however my pike and hip flexor doesn't ¿? I've also overstretched my back aftee so many days without legs... auch
12- same as 11, minor improvement in back flexibility :)
13-still injured
14-Still injured and my back is also injured now 🤣
15- still injured back and legs, now I'm fearing of injuring my hips and shoulder because they are the only thing I can stretch lol
16-same
17-same
18-gosh it's been a month and still hurts, all I can do is a few lunges and the pigeon pose. I discovered a way of active split stretching withouth hurting my legs and back. Go into a downward dog, lift one of you legs and bend it and kick
My dream now is to be able to do the routine... something that a month ago was so easy!😢
19- now it hurts a little less than before. But I don't improve anymore
20- The bright side of this is that my hips are getting really flexible
21

28- I think I will stretch my toes more often
-15 stretching routines later-
My frog pose is almost there
Misógina internalizada Opresora héteropatriarcal oh nooo 🥺
This is a bit late but if you aren't warming up before this video then that's why it's painful! Before doing intensive stretches always warm up - for example jumping jacks or running on the spot. If it feels like a good pain then that means you are doing the right thing and it is working. I hope this helped!
@@jaimiedelittle1873 Sorry, I forgot to write that I stretch after 40 min of working out legs/arms/core and I warm up before so I thing that is not the problem😕 Thanks for the suggestion tho, I've seen lots of comments complaining about why they are able to split a day and not another ones, and that is the absolute reason. Stretching without being warmed up can lead to really serious injury! (And it seems that overstretching too)
Alivia is great but I feel like she should stress more that you should not push past your limits to the point that it hurts badly because it can be dangerous.
Every time i think of not doing it... i remember what she said "you can't expect to succeed by only working on the days you feel like it. You have to show up every day and exceed your limits" "the moments when you really don't want to do something, is when it's crucial to do it, those are the moments of change". Thanks Alivia, you're such a beautiful inspiration❤ (sorry if there is any mistake, im way on improving my English)
Finally a stretching routine at my level where I feel the challenge ! Thank you !
I want to say thank you so much for your videos. I am feeling lost and hopeless these days but every time I take some time off my day to focus on my stretching routine with your videos helps me a lot and I feel less stressed and anxious afterwards. It also helps me improve my stretches which makes me super happy too , Thank you
I love watching you routines. They help so much. I’ve been doing them everyday and the results are crazy! I love you and are videos they are so helpful and so aesthetic♥️♥️
I have been consistently stretching following other videos on yt and was not really feeling many of the stretches and I felt like I wasn’t challenging myself to my fullest potential, this is PERFECT, thank you 💕💕
I honestly love your videos so much!!! You have helped me improve so much and I just wanted to say that your videos are super helpful. Love you!!
alivia, thank you, thank you so much. i was struggling so hard to start with some change and you were the only person who made me really do it. i'm still half through the way of getting my splits or being able to call myself completely flexible, but all your stretches helped me so much, especially this routine. that's not the only part i'm seeing myself changing at though. my problem with acne was here for almost four years. but only now, when i started thinking differently, practicing yoga, being way more aware of what i eat and how i spend my time, i can see it getting clearer already. same goes for my mind. you helped me gain confidence and gave me that first push to get my life together. please, don't stop what you're doing. i bet i'm not the only one who's really grateful for it
You made my morning, this was just what I needed after all of the workouts 👏🏽👏🏽🔥🔥
I have used your old stretching routine for a while and the stretches have gotten easier overtime. I tried this for the first time and some of them were really challenging but you told me to go past my limits and you encourage me to keep going. Love you alivia.
When you’re doing backbend and you get dizzy just take deep breaths
Woah thanks!
Wow
Thx
ALIVIA IS BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You have helped me so much in the past. You helped me get my backbend, back walkover, splits, and my flexibility. I remember when I was SO NOT FLEXIBLE but now i'm
one of the most flexible dancers in my dance class. Thank you
15:18 i got my middle splits back! I didn't have time to stretch for the past few weeks so.. I lost my left split and middle split. Also the back flexibility. Thank you so much!
Alivia idk what u may be going through now and I haven’t watched ur recent videos yet but I just want u to know that u are absolutely inspiring. I appreciate all of ur videos and the honest encouragement that comes with experience is so awesome and world changing that I just want to thank u. Know that whatever ur going through u are stronger, u are tougher, u will persevere and girl ur beautiful!! Inside and out. Ur a world changer and don’t forget that. Thank u so much I appreciate u.
❤️❤️❤️
omg yaasss ive been waiting for this video for so long
honestly i believe that your encouraging words that you say throughout the video REALLY help me to keep pushing and trying harder...and you say them at the perfect time...like at the middle splits you said that you might want to fall off but do not because you are so much stronger than you know and you said that at the perfect time because i was about to give up...thank you alivia for everything
Alivia I hope you see this .your channel is Soo inspiring . You always push me to my goals and you motivation words were the only thing I needed after hearing them I was able to do my splits and other goals without pain you have changed my life and many people. and also the streches that you give are so effective . Hope you are safe 😘
I did cheer two years ago and had my splits and was super flexible. After I moved away I just stopped stretching completely and i'm so glad I found you! I'm starting to get my flexibility back!
I like your videos and espacially these stretches are amazing i always do them before dancing, but sometimes I feel like you are a little too focused on improvement and define yourself through your achievements too much and don't let yourself rest at all. I hope you love yourself regardless of your achievements and don't work too much. Don't be so determined to achieve your goals that you don't notice when you overdo it and let yourself rest from time to time ^^
I’m a rower and not super flexible.... I was excepting not too hard of a stretch, but holy crap! I was not expecting that. My splits are so bad, it’s insane! I’m gonna do this routine everyday and see how it changes my flexibility!
*while holding middle split*
her: “dont give up you got this it’s your mind telling you that you can’t”
me: ur right yeah!!
her: “just a little longer!”
me: uh oh
her: “you can do this”
me: YES I CAN *falls on face* no i can’t!
That's awesome dedication. You should be proud that you pushed yourself to your limit❤ the limit being falling on your face xD❤
I used to do this 2 years ago? Don’t quite remember but doing this now brings back tons of nostalgia. 2020 was a rollercoaster and I didn’t exercise nor stretch much. In result, I lost some flexibility and core strength. It’s alright though! 2021, i’m regaining it all and coming stronger!
Sis, when she just twISTED into the bridge eye-
Also my back kinda aches after doing the bridge. My legs are also Hella achey and shaking sksk
i cant twist like it just dont work
Lmao
What about beginners??🙁🙁
Hibatoullah Mouchfiq what do you mean you shouldn’t be here if you’re a beginner
Haha yupp I am literally coming from two Chloe ting workouts, to stretch it all out. 😭😭
i have been watching your videos for ages mainly the splits routines as I,ve been trying to get them for years but injury or other commitments always sets me back. I just wanted to say that you have come such a long way. you look so beautiful and confident and your flxibility is amazing.
2 years later and this is STILL my go to whenever i need to get back into dancing
Thank you so much. I’m closer to my goal of getting my middle splits. Thank youuuuuuuuuuu
I used to do this routine every day or every 2 days a few years ago, it was life changing. The progress I saw was amazing. But then.. I dropped out of it. Then I thought about myself back then and myself now. I was so organised back then, and I decided to bring it back. So here i am
Same!
Same! I used to be much more flexible before, as I stretched every day. I can still do this, but not as easily as before. I need to stop being lazy and start stretching again 😭😭
Ive been doing this for 1 month and I'm only 2 inches away from the middle splits!!! I've been watching you for 2 years now and you have helped me so much with my flexibility you are the only youtuber that truly inspires me to stretch. You are such an amazing person and I wish you luck on getting your middle split back.
Thank you I’ve needed something new for a while now :)
UR SKIN IS GLOWY AND YOUR FLEXIBILITY IS BACK we love a hard working and determined queen
