t get worked enough. Often times, people will try and increase back rotation in error through the lumbar spine. This is not what you want. Instead, look for ways to twist through the middle portion of your spine like this and you will feel better very quickly. The goal is to perform 10-15 reps to each side and then move onto the second stretch in this daily flexibility routine. The next stretch is called the QL slide. This is going to help anyone out there that has suffered from muscular low back pain. The Quadratus Lumborum or hip hiker muscle is often times relegated to chronic stiffness and tightness from never being adequately stretched. This easy to perform movement is going to do a great job stretching this low back muscle. Simply drop a leg back and use your arms to prop up your body into a side bent position. Try and maintain this position for 30-45 seconds each side and look to feel the stretch most in the outside area of your lower back just around your waistline. To increase the difficulty of the stretch even more you can allow the other leg to slide out a bit which will place more stretch on the adductors of the hips. The third stretch is called the side pretzel stretch. This is an amazing one for the hips and back but also helps to increase shoulder and upper torso mobility and flexibility as well. Start by laying on your left side and grabbing your left ankle with your right hand. Pull back until you feel a stretch on the quads. From here, grab the top knee with the opposite hand and try to pull the knee down towards the floor without letting your hips rotate too much (which would shift the stretch to the low back in error. Finally, we have a dynamic stretch called the NSFW. It-s named this because this is simply something you don-t really want to be doing at work since it will likely raise some eyebrows. That said, it will fit perfectly when performed in the gym especially as a squat warmup or in preparation to do a sumo deadlift. The key is to open up the hips and place the feet in a frog position with the insides of the feet flat against the floor. You should feel a big stretch on the hip adductors and rotators in the bottom position of the stretch. Hold for a brief 2 second pause and then repeat for a total of 10-15 repetitions. The key to any good stretching routine is that you can perform the stretches without any equipment in a limited amount of space. Once you do just a few sets of these you will see just how amazing you can actually feel with such a small time investment. If possible, incorporate all 4 stretches into your daily routine and let me know how it helps you.

This is great content. I know about. 5% of what you know so in your other videos I am so busy tying to imagine what you're saying as I have no idea about all the fancy names etc. When this happens you confuse and lose because you are making people burn their mental calories by not speaking to them in their language. I know a huge amount of your viewers are in the know but some of us aren't. Having that screen behind you and then sketching over it to visualise what you are saying is flipping brilliant! I am also very visual so now I do these without thinking what are they again as in my head I remember the exercises in the grid and this makes me in my rushed day want to do them as it's been simplified down. Nice going: )

I just tried these 4 stretches this morning. I woke up with a tight lower back (history of back injury (pulled it 5 times) and now, it feels a bit better. I could tell that my form wasn't the best for any of these stretches, so that will take some work to get the full intended stretch, but even with one morning session, I can tell how great these are. I'm not sure if I've ever properly stretched my spine before today.

Can someone please help me with the QL slide stretch? It feels like it's pulling muscles above my waste the wrong way, not me being inflexible. Like they are ment to flex and stretch east and west but this is making them flex and stretch north and south, it genuinely feels like it will pull a muscle off my rib or something. I'm not dramatizing this I'm serious, I skip this stretch. Thank you for your time.

Years ago I felt a pop in my knee area while running. Knee has bothered me ever since. In that time, I had an MRI and they found nothing, but the pain continued. I then underwent a scope with knee surgery. Years later I still have problems. I have been to physical therapists and a podiatrist and nothing. Do you recommend any where to go? It really limits my workouts due to pain. Thank you

I love how Jeff talks fast, and backs up everything he says with a specific reason instead of an overly simplistic metaphor. If I have to look up terminology, fine. Also, physical therapists are kind of the only people worth listening to when it comes to healing and/or strengthening the body.
Oh, and those gertdam mama effin face pulls. Why had I not heard of these before?

I was extremely flexible in the late 70s/early 80s during high school track & field. My coach admonished me for this because she (boy-s track team) said my level of flexibility came a speed cost, i. e, -it made me slow-. However, many brothers referred to me as -pretty fast for a white guy-. Now I considered that better than any blue ribbon or trophy.

The bridge and reach is a nice stretch! Feels like a workout which perhaps is why I enjoyed it most. The pretzel was tasty. A bit salty, but I enjoyed it. QL felt nice. And the NSFW stretch is good but better with a spotter and safer in the bedroom. Stay stretched! Good video.

I've been doing the stretches for 2 months the best one for me is the pretzel. The worst one is the last one. I don't know if I'm doing it wrong but I can't do many of them cuz it makes my hips not feel so great after. Irregardless thanking your wealth of information I appreciate it!

I started daily face pulls months ago had no money no job and my life was a mess. Now face pulls have changed my life. I am rich and retired and all the girls love me! This stretch might even make it better! Just kidding Jeff I love these vids and I do do face pulls everyday!

Thank you Jeff. These kind of videos are so helpful for me as an older lifter. I'm constantly chasing injuries and trying to figure out what I can do to stay strong in my 40's. My hips and lower back suffer from hours of sitting everyday. Stretch 2 and 3 were fantastic.
