do these also help get flexible

[vidform]

I have very long legs and a short upper body. I'm built like Kermit the Frog. Does that put me at a disadvantage when trying to improve the flexibilty in my legs? I have tight hips and would like to improve my flexibility. When trying to do the butterfly, it is hard for me to push my knees down to the floor. If I do the stretches in your video, will I be able to push my knees to the floor at some point? How long does it take to improve flexibility? Months? Years? Thanks for the great videos.

I know stretching is important but I was wondering how often should u stretch? Everyday for a lil while or is it like 3 times a week or what?

[onepiece321321]

Excellent. I watched so many stretching videos telling you to do that and that, but it doesnt quite help because its not beginnerfriendly. I feel like I really get something out of your videos.

[tkd4life2400]

Alot of Yoga moves invlved. I do alot of these in Taekwondo but ive learned some new ones from the vid. Thanks !

[tonmy21]

you are saviour!

[gustavocologni]

you obviously know everything there is to know about Stretching... ...I am a beginner and among other things I wanna be able to do FULL SPLITS and be as flexible as you. I am 35y.o. ( is it still possible ? ) I am fit and lean but not flexible !!

That is all I wanna know !!! Thank you for your videos !

[adiocros]

Does it really help me to kick higher? Should i do it like everyday?

[kiwikarateguy]

okay, so i want to be able to do axe kicks and high round house kicks, what is the first stretch i should do to acheive this? please?

[Bodyweightculturist]

Look through ElasticSteel channel for some ideas.

[daivondays]

you got like this newyork acsent or somthing, kinda kool

[Bodyweightculturist]

Paul is from New York.

[MartinCarr88]

excellent video - im doing this for the sitting position in meditation.

[AnEliteSpartan]

damn your stretchy. we do that every day in gym but my knees are about 6inces above the ground. same with everyone else. OMG

[MaStErPhReSh333]

how long have u been doing it for. It takes about 3 years to do it fully ,my knees touch the floor after 3 and a half years of karate training and i stretch everyday for 8 minutes. It also depends on how far you can do the splits. Trying the splits does a great deal on your butterfly stretch. You dont ned to just saying

[AnEliteSpartan]

ever since 1st grade. im a sophmore in highschool. but we only do it for 10 sec each day. that could be why!

[Topdogz10]

This helps the guard?

[Bodyweightculturist]

Yes, it does.

[badassforever]

cool videos nice stretching..btw did u give adam sandler some accent lessons too..

[Bodyweightculturist]

I think Paul did. In return Sandler taught Zaichik the push ups with both hands behind his back.

[badassforever]

so is paul now on that special cream and drink that sandler used to destroy everyone? dont mean to be rude..but whr is paul? and r u his rep??

[Bodyweightculturist]

Got to Elasticsteel website to see who Paul is. As far as Bodyweightculture, he submits articles and videos to BWC.

[tsireotmrad]

Can you give some sort of indicating how long it takes to hit the floor with both knees:

my conditions at the moment:

- Im training (stretching only) 20-30 minits a day.

- butterfly strech: my knees are 5-7 cm's above the ground at both sides.

- i can pull my knee all the way to my chest (1:45)

thx for the vids. i made great progress so far. and sorry for my poor english (15 years old and dutch).

[Bodyweightculturist]

You should visit ElasticSteel site or PaulZaichik site for help with that. Paul Just submited this video to us.

[jeffthestupid]

[6Uncles]

[Bodyweightculturist]

The sooner, the better.

[starrywalsh]

I have this guys dvd, he is very good, a bit boring, but very very good.

[Bodyweightculturist]

lol

[imnoobish]

is there a way to do stretches painlessly?

[Bodyweightculturist]

You can warm up well and take the stretches slow and don't push past the limit.

Also you can check out PaulZaichik forum and youtube channel and see if you can find something there.

Good luck.
