These Relatively Easy-To-Learn Skills May Actually Change Your Life


“Back stretches. Critical skill. I went from multiple aggravated/herniated discs a year (to where I couldn’t walk for a week), to 0 since I started stretching my back and hips.”

“Standing: Touch your toes – three sets of 30 seconds.

Lay on back, lift your right leg across your body as far as you can while keeping your left leg straight as possible. Focus the stretch in the right side of your lower back for 30 seconds. Do the same with your left leg. 

Sitting: Touch your toes – three sets of 20 seconds. 

Sitting: Glute stretch – cross one leg over the other outstretched leg and hug leg for 30 seconds, you should feel a stretch in your upper glute and lower back/hip. Then do the other leg.

Groin stretch – two sets of 20/30 seconds. 

Standing: Touch your toes – as long as you want. By now you should feel a lot more loose in your lower back.

Standing: Quad stretch – pull your leg up behind you until you feel a stretch in your quad/hip. Do two sets of 20 seconds per leg.

This should take about five minutes to complete in total. After enough days of doing this you will be much more flexible in your lower back and hips. I am 6’4 and easily touch my toes when standing up. That was unthinkable before I started stretching.”
