If you want to stretch your hamstrings, or should I say be able to have more reach, use a tennis ball on your feet first. Use it to stretch the fascia in your feet for about 10 seconds a spot. I just discovered this about a month ago. After then stretch your hamstrings. It is more effective.
Good tip! I forgot I've had problems with that when I try to stretch my hamstrings lately.
4:15 first exercise
Look at Bob dressed in a relaxed way. Go Bob!
Hi Bob & Brad this comes in handy especially before an after workouts. Thanks for sharing.👍 Be Safe Everyone🌎😷
This is insane. I needed this video right now! Thank you ❤️
thanks Bob n Brad we love you!!! thanks for all the pain you have help relieve!!
Bob all comfy makes me relaxed
A great video to see...I've had recurrent blown hamstring issues for months...thank you...
Thanks so much! I've been struggling with an issue at the hamstring to glute insertion point. I think this will help a lot before my runs.
Amazing video ❤️
Thank you very much. You help me so much. 🙏🏼
Thanks , You both off them for showing hamstring tight exercise . 👍
Bob and Brad, the coolest granddads on the interwebs...lol
Love this channel! Great tips!
these videos on stretching are helping me,, i think.
Love you guys!!! Keep them coming!
Yes. I love using the stretch strap.
I feel the exact same way. When my physical therapist gave me one, it was a game changer.
So important. Everyday I stretch my hamstrings, gastrocnemius and soleus muscle groups. They've been so tight for years. For the hamstrings I use a road bike inner tube and hold one end in each hand and stretch like Bob illustrated. Use stairs for the gastrocnemius and soleus. It makes walking and going up/down steps much easier. Thanks guys.
I have had RLS fur decades and initially overstretched my physio told me not to stretch my calf muscles at all cos of this. However lately a medication change has made my muscles spasm v badly n they now go like rock n wake me up ev 2 hours thru the night. Because I am so bendy sometimes I can do excercising but can't find a position that actually stretches the calf muscles at all. Do u have any suggestions I cud try ? i do sprsy magnesium on them which helps a little. I love doing the exercises you demonstrate. Really helpful!!
Plz plz plz... Would you make a video how to restore flat thoracic curve
Do you have a link to the deep heat pad?
I feel like this one was made specifically for me. The massage gun information was really good. I have one but it's hard to tell when/how to best use it. When I have really tight muscles, the vibration really loosens the muscle up in a noticeable way. It's like a guitar string vibrating. I'm really worried about using it on my neck or near my spine though. I'm also worried about the vibration and giving myself a concussion or something any time my head is vibrating.
You should never use a massage gun around head or neck
doing this with a senior...if she can't straighten her leg, will she still get some stretch benefit (legs stay bent)?
Do you recommend these while on sciatica?
Look forward to you guys every night!! My PT said I had the tightest hamstrings EVER!! Looking forward to this video!
I cant sit on floor with straight legs. It seems lot of work is needed to get back that flexibility.
Any thoughts about learning Aikido ?
You guys are the best. So much fun and so knowledgeable too. I wish we were neighbours 😂
I'm trying to extend my range of motion I my legs. At present I can raise a straight leg up to 90 degrees using a strap but want to bring it closer to my chest. I like the stretch relax approach but haven't tried it yet. I will and hope to see the results.
You might consider a 5 minute meditation prior to stretching...being chilled out keeps the body loose...
THE BEST!
Hey B and b. I got tight hamstrings aswell and since stretching didnt help i thought the problem with the weqk gluteus muscle and tight hip flexors seemed very fitting in my situation. 2 months of working my abs stretching my hip flexors and training my gluteus later: my hamstrings are still tight and my backpain is stronger than ever. You got any ideas for me? Let me know
Bob and Brad, what am I doing wrong if I feel the stretch more behind my knee and below than in the hamstring area? Thanks 💗love you guys!!
Try bending the knee a little until you feel it in hamstrings then you can again straighten your knee little bit for some extra stretch.
@@ah.l I'm not able to get my leg straight like I should; my knee is always a little bent, but I'll give it little more bend. Thanks
Hmm need to do this but cannot straighten my knee completely due to injury

No, you're not babbling, Brad -- it's really true about the breathing! That's what yin style yoga is like, you hold poses for a long time and the breathing relaxes your body and everything just keeps releasing on its own, no force required. The first time I tried it, I was shocked at how flexible my body became just from my relaxing through deep breathing. It's like everything just melted.
I second the yin yoga. It's a lifesaver.
Every video you make, it’s like you have a camera in my house and know what I’m working on. Wait, do you? How many fingers am I holding up? Thanks for the videos.
😂😂😂😂
I really love your show guys, I have one thing I'm having trouble is finding pain relief from sciatic nerve, I also have that pesky Stenosis on my L5 L4, I've old fractures in my vertebrae that are arthritic and I have tried looking for your episodes for those types of pain relief. Would it please be possible if they were bunch together, please?
P.S. I'm waiting on a must have knee replacement, I've lost an inch in my right knee

I will add this to our to do list to bunch them together!

HAHA
What happenned to second exercise?!
Wow, Brad has some seriously flexible hamstrings!
Hi
HI!
@@BobandBrad Hey love you guys
You guys helped my back pain since i cant go to the doctor cause of lockdown
wow, you fit a lot of products in this video...
I cannot extend my leg like u can... whenever I try their is lot of pain behind my legs nd my back too...nd main legs are shaking ...please help me...what's the matter...is they are due to tight hamstring or due to my low back pain?
The same thing happened to me when my pain was at it's worse. The massaging and heat help a lot so that it's not painful when you do the stretch. I cheat and bend my knee and push my foot out until I feel the stretch. It makes it way less intense when you have like a herniated disc like I have.
This may help you figure out what's going on, or what's not: kzhead.info/sun/oNexgbZtbYdtpoE/bejne.html
@@BobandBrad thank u so much
💕😄💕
Quick question guys: Lately I keep getting arch/foot spasms. Always as I'm driving. Scary. Have pull over, park, kick off sneakers & massage till I get it rubbed. How can I stop them from hapoeming?
