Has anyone radically improved their flexibility?

[JohnnyMcGrathSaysFuckOff]

I am active and sporty, lift weights etc and do yoga every night to "balance out active strength training", as Adriene says!

But although it releases tension, and I'vw become a little more flexible, I'm still quite tight in hamstrings, back. Has anyone started from a low bar and seriously stepped up flexibility? And how did you do it?

Following to see if anyone has. I’m reasonably fit but very inflexible (always have been since early childhood), and I don’t seem to be able to improve it.

The Times fashion editor has written quite a lot about yoga and gradually working up to doing the splits, so in principle it seems possible.

Yes!
I already do yoga with Kassandra and weights but I started following people on TikTok and adding some mobility moves and I have improved massively.

I can’t link them all as MN keeps freezing and unloading, but this guy is excellent

along with Tom Morrison who has helped my shoulders
MovementbyDavid has loads of tips
The A Life is a new one I’ve spotted

I will see if I can find the others, I have a long list of follows! I will pop back with more.

aadamrichardson is good
James SOMERSET Osteopath has tips

but I think my most watched and most frequently used tips are from the link on my first post and the two posters I listed below that link.

I have osteoarthritis and my pain has lessened considerably doing some of their mobility movements, and if I skip a few days I feel really stiff and sore and my hips and shoulders really suffer.

@CordeliaNaismithVorkosigan yes me too! I have always been able to build strength effectively but find flexibility more difficult. And yes, I have that times article about the splits favourited!

@OhhYoureSpikey thanks, will check out! Much appreciated.

If you are wanting to do the splits then MovementbyDavid has lots of great tips to achieve this, the guy is unbelievably flexible and strong.
