Sitting also deactivates the glutes causing the hamstrings to work harder

[@barefootstrength]

💯 correct. We cover this in detail here: czcams.com/video/nhUhVMBwV08/video.html

[@ST-rj8iu]

exactly. Need to work glutes to fix this issue. Single leg glue bridge, clamshells, and RDLS are a great option to fix this.

All makes sense, and the reasoning behind my tight hips and hamstrings… thank u sir for your knowledge sharing!

[@dandalee]

Not only stretching the hip flexors, we need to acutely strengthen them! 🙂

[@youssefbayoumi857]

I love the fashion style 😍 The glasses, the haircut..everything. Forget barefoot health, you should start a fashion styling channel!!

[@ginnytilby]

Can this lead to knee pain from the same tightness and shortening? My knees hurt when I sit too long and I've noticed relief when I stretch my quads by pulling up feet up behind my butt.

[@kleindavis550]

very well explained

[@AhmedAdel-sh6gf]

Amazing biomechanics ❤💪

[@aselle1709]

I love this exercise. Thank you!

[@-amunel4673]

Streach the harmsting and hip flexor and your Front side of the Leg and just make your Harmstring stronger

[@MayTheSchwartzBeWithYou]

I know too much sitting is bad, but I've also read too much standing is bad, too. What's your take on that? What is the ideal ratio of sitting to standing?

[@salsadip7453]

Changing positions often is best
Standing, sitting on different surfaces and walking

[@franklincastillo7257]

thats a lie, in caveman times we kept standing up for most of the times

[@MayTheSchwartzBeWithYou]

@@franklincastillo7257 Is that something we know for a fact or merely an assumption?

[@franklincastillo7257]

@@MayTheSchwartzBeWithYou i mean its common sense, cavemans need to standup and move most of the time to search for food and alot many more reasons to do so

[@nigel6862]

Brilliant...

[@kingerfun5620]

Sir I'm suffering from anterior pelvic tilt & ankle pronation .... I need your answer . Can it be corrected

[@mattk7794]

What’s your advice for people with spondylysis spondylolisthesis ? On how to stretch and sleep?

[@freezone2661]

Can this be the cause of my tight hamstrings? Its only tight on the left one, i can say its tight with stiffness/pain
I recently have a hamstring strain before

[@sgill7059]

Stretching the hip flexors wouldn't help if you don't strengthen them and glutes

[@jdrawing5302]

Are there bearfoot boots in existence

[@pohioki]

People will look at me weirdly if I start doing this in the University

[@Pat_Nu]

❤❤❤👍👍👍😘😘😘🙏🙏🙏🍀🍀🍀

[@PlugInJohn]
