Watching all these videos to review my kinesiology:) Cool stuff.
does doing butterfly stretch give you the flexibility to perform splits?
I’m upset that when I do it I can already go all the way down bc when I used to do it there was a pain but it was a good feeing pain if that makes sense…
I don’t understand I’m not flexible and my knees go all the way to the ground without any pain.
Di, thank you! You are teaching me so much. I appreciate your kind, warm, awareness and attention to detail with the ability to teach. Masterful!
Question…. Should I warm up prior to doing these stretches?
would love to see more videos on this, maybe you could do some on some other common stretch positions? I think some people are having difficulties with knowing which muscles to fire etc
In a 90/90 position, how do you strengthen the front and back leg?
I can go all the way down with ease since I was 4 without stretching
por favor quiero saber el titulo de la música del vídeo, la quiero descargar para meditar.
Needed this video. I now have a good guide on how to do stretching!
Man I can put my legs all the way on the floor and feel nothing
Great video!
When im on the ground i can get my knees kind of low but still over the hip
But i cannot sit up tall at all and i need to sit on 2 blocks to sit upright
Do u have any tips on that?
These comments with people who can do it without any effort and calling themselves not flexible is making me feel like a failure
How long can I estimate it will take me (roughly, of course) to achieve sufficient flexibility to lay my legs down completely with feet as close to my groin as possible? And to achieve maximum flexibility? 23 years old, no exercising of any kind before (negligible).
Nice vid.:-) Can I do a front split if I am an active runner? Is such a flexibility good for me?
I’m always pulling a groin muscle….if you know what i mean
When I try to push my legs to the ground, I feel sharp pain in my left hip joint. Thing feels like it’s going to snap and fall out. Should I stop stretching with this exercise?
I can barely do my right splits but my knees automatically go to the ground in a butterfly (no pain it feels to easy I had to watch this to make sure I was doing it right. I can lay flat on my stomach and still no pain.). Does that mean I’m more flexible than I know? Or ect?
Excellent quick video for those of us who are not super flexible. Great help to get the benefits out of this posture and not just be uncomfortable and “gripping”.
if you guys would like to get ripped more quickly without wasting a one another minute in the gym, then you really want to keep an eye on this video tutorial SIXPP.COMThis was not the old Chichikov. This was some wreckage of the old Chichikov. The inner state of his soul might be compared to a demolished building, which has been demolished so that from it a new
If you want to be taken seriously you should learn your muscles.
so your saying the hip muscles is what really keeping the people from moving emotion from the hip.
Please do your dynamic stretching and your warmup first before attempting this stretch. This is a static stretch, and a good one with a great example, but should only be done after your workout. =)
We did this in dance when I was little! It was always so fun ��
Will this help with flexibility to eventually be able to do it without a bolster? Im trying to loosen my hips for this pose so the bolster is great to get the benefits. What do you recommend for hip stretching to be able to do this on the floor?
Hi Paul will you be releasing a Beginner, Intermediate and advance DVD or download for the muscles used for the full side splits? Thanks
What are the best dvds to buy for the butterfly and lotus?!?!Lotus is required for some grappling.Thanks for your videos.
