Dude!I’ll lick those feet for hours–
thats unfair cuz my leg is much longer than my body! can someone please help me?
Be cautious about the fact that these type videos are from “expert’ village because this stretch as just one example is damaging the way she is performing it. The back should NOT be rounded and never pull on the feet and etc..etc.. See surgeon Dr. Steven D. Starks book,”The Stark Reality of Stretching” for proper, scientifically correct stretching methods.
every one has different methods, and this is totally not gonna injure you if your flexible like her or me.
There are different methods that are correct yes..and different methods which are misinformation. This stretch can indeed injure people…even you. The damage it can cause is microscopic. These muscle tears are called microtrauma. The damage is SLOW and insidious…and happens often over a period of anywhere from a few..to even decades before it may become hindering…however these microtears are PERMANENT…so, if you do this stretch, it is at your own risk. I recommend other ways.
masha5maria, The incorrect ’stretch’ shown here is for the HAMSTRINGS primarily. One should NEVER grab/pull the toes in this stretch. The gastrocnemius muscle tendons of origin begin above the knee, and the hamstring tendons of insertion all attach to the tibia below the knee. When the calf muslces are placed under loading force simultaneously with the hamstrings,the structure often mistakenly loaded and damaged is the posterior joint capsule of the knee. (cont)…..above>>
..(I meant continued BELOW..not ‘above)….>> Further the position she is showing in this video loads other structures which interferes with important biofeedback ion doing the stretch. In this position ask anyone where they feel, “the stretch” ; and they alwasy point to BEHIND THE KNEE. There’s no hamstring MUSCLE behind the knee. Never load two muscle groups across the SAME joint at the same time in a primary stretch. Rounding the back as done here can damage the posterior ligaments>> (cont)
>> of the lumbar spine and the pelvis if leaning very far forward as she is doing here. Leaning forward in this position and holding it as in the video increases the loading stress on these ligaments, resulting in insidious tearing and scarring of these structures. Often when the damages is felt and becomes painful and and chronic….years later it is then too late…as I said these tears are PERMAMENT. Good luck masha maria….just trying to help you with proper scientifically backed info.
Lastly…masha maria..I could mention several other things she is doing wrongly here..but I will leave with this one. She says to flex the toes or feet…..this is not good at all. When stretching the muscles being stretched and the other muscles of that limb should all be totally RELAXED. Only by relaxing into a stretch do you allow for the proper sliding-elongation of sarcomeres(muscle fibers) to relax into a true stretch giving you a new current resting length of the muscle. Relax the feet.
actually its fine to some people who are used to that not new btw for example me i’m totally not new to this its yoga and gymnastics its what they always do their, and gymnastics is a lot of pressure so its different to all poeple its just the flexiblility that matter ok!
my back hurts when i do that, is that bad or good?
probably not so great.. from personal exprience i would recommend bending forwards keeping your back straight with your arms stretched out in front of you. don’t pull on your feet in order to stretch further. you’ll get the same stretch on your hamstrings whether you curve your back or not so you might as well keep it straight and not hurt yourself.
If you are ‘flexible” this much naturally/genetically..then you do not need to stretch your legs if you are active.
Further, whether flexible or not, rounding out the back is bad for the lower lumbar and can cause sciatic and peroneal nerve damage. Another thing is that when you with your genetic flexibility PULL as she does you run the risk of causing thouands or PERMAMNENT microtears in your muscle tendon junctions which scar. This adds up over years. Finally using her metod here>>
>>cont) you are PULLING on the hams and probably feel the pull also behind your knees which is very BAD for your knee capsule & means your miles PAST the ham stretch as the hams are already flexed. If they are flexed they cannot stretch, impossible, because they are working,expending energy & cannot relax into stretch. What you are getting as you feel a ‘release’ in this position is an ECCENTRIC CONTRACTION not a stretch. So, when you sit back up, guess what? > The hams tighten right back up!
ok all i’m saying is that some people are flexible and take rhythmic gymnastics for example when i stretch splits(we have to stretch from the chair) the part under my knee hurts and its like that to all those rhythmic gymnasts out there and its normal coaches know ok. yes it herts but we are used to it and guesss what theive been hearting while i stretch like that for 6 years and guess what no problems my moms friend used to train like this for 15 years now shes almost 50 and shes all fine.
When you stretch correctly it does not HURT. If you feel discomfort or pain in any stretch then damage is occuring. Pain means there is damage occuring. Those microscopic tears I talked about (microtrauma) can take 2,3,5,10 or 20 years to finally display the greater problems they’ve developed into..such as osteoarthritis in the knees/ankles/hips not to mention tenosynovitis,compartment syndrome,plantar fasciitis etc.etc. YOu said your Mom’s friend trained that way for 15 years and no problem>>
>>well she may have problems in her joints etc. but does not talk about it. Many of the problems may not have yet manifested themselves. Finally she is not & I know CANnot do that training now because she probably has caused scarring to the point that if she tried to do those type incorrect stretches regularly it would tear the scar tissue up inside the muscle that she already built up from years of doing bad ones. If people use CORRECT stretches you can use them all your life, not only 15 yrs.
thank you honey it works for my frisbee freestyle-
