Thanks everyone for 200k, it's mad! To celebrate I'm doing a short series of follow alongs for more advanced positions. Enjoy :)

64 year old women with 2 hip replacements yes I have both front splits all the way down it took 14 months and your videos really inspire me. I'm working on middle splits and all over strength. My favorite is the follow along videos. A big thank you!

My favourite part is that you couldn't split properly. It was totally relatable and made me practise with you more. 2 months in and I could finally do the splits. Thanks for being real with the struggle

Yess! This absolutely works! I have been doing this for about a month now and at first I started doing this exact routine at least 3 times a week. Around about the end of week two I wasn’t sore anymore so I started doing them every other day. This was where I saw my best results. Only within the first week of this I wasn’t tired anymore so I started doing an extra round of splits on both sides. In only a matter of days I wasn’t so tired that I needed a break in between the days. So I am now doing them every day with 3 rounds of splits on both sides and today was where I achieved my lowest split on one side. I used soft objects to place underneath me to know how deep I was in to measure my progress and today I was able to touch a very thin pillow and I believe I can achieve a full front split on that side in the next few weeks. The other side has seen a lot of improvement but I still have to work on touching a higher pillow underneath me on that one but it’s working nonetheless!! 10/10 would recommend. I’m a 16 year old male and I already feel a lot more... unlocked, I’d say. I suddenly notice myself able to touch my head to my knee while touching my toes and have seen improvements in my progress to L-sits as well. Even If you are not interested in these, I’d still recommend just because of how free your legs feel in general if you are this flexible!!

0:20 1. Hip Swivels (10 reps - pause briefly at end of positions) - start in seated position, feet apart, knees up and hands behind the back. This loosens up the hips before the main part of the workout. 1:01 2. Hip Swivel Lean (Both sides - 30 secs each) - Turn to one side at end of position and put hand on foot and lean forward. Move left and right when leaning to loosen areas where it is more tight. 2:03 3. Deep Squat Hold (10-30 secs) - shuffle about for more active movement. 2:12 4. Downward Dog to Upward Dog (5 reps) - can shuffle about the legs and stretch shoulders in downward position and twist to each side with upper body in upward position. 3:54 5a. Lunge with Twist (30 secs) - twist into side of front leg with arm on knee. Squeeze glutes giving slight posterior tilt. 4:33 5b. Low Lunge (30 secs) - lean into forearms on ground. 5:01 5c. Bent Leg Lunge (30 secs) - use arm on side of front leg to grab the back leg and hold position with squeezed bum. Can do this in twisted position or with back straight and both hands on leg. Lean forward Bringing leg closer to body makes it harder. 6:01 5d. Kneeling Hamstring Rocks (10 reps + 20 sec pause) - bring hips back and flex the toes. Gives a slight floss of the sciatic nerve. In the pause phase keep quads activated and bring yourself as far forward as you can. Keep toes flexed. 7:39 Go into Upward Dog and then switch sides and repeat from 5a to d. 11:31 6a. Bent Leg Lunge Rocks (5 reps + 20 secs pause) - Lean back and forward, then hold forward position on last rep. 12:35 6b. Kneeling Hamstring Rocks (5 reps + 20 sec pause) 13:01 6c. Passive Front Split (30 secs) - from the last position slide your front foot further so you go into the front split position. Hold and breath and sink a little deeper. 13:44 Swap sides and repeat from 6a to c. Rest 30-60 secs 16:37 Repeat 6a to c for both legs. Do Resting Squat at the end

This is the only splits routine I've done where I've actually made progress. Thanks so much!

“I’m so close to getting my front splits. Im gonna add them to my goals.” 20 minutes later...”I’m so far from getting my front splits. Why have I chosen to do this?!” In all seriousness, thank you so much for the guidance! I love your stuff.

I still can't believe it - yesterday I got to the floor for the first time (with my better leg). Thank you Tom for this video, I never thought I would achieve this goal I had for several years now.

Finally a person that is actually helpful. All the other videos they do random stretches that doesn't even help! Bc they can do the splits in the first place but, this video got me alot more further than I was 20mins ago!! I would like to thank u so much and without u posting this idk when I would've been able to do the splits!

The way he said "if you think flexibility isn't that hard your wrong " i really felt that

Yesterday I was literally stretching and I thought, “damn when is he gonna do a front split routine” here we are today 😂

I wish I could like this more than once I have literally done this sooo many times, and today I finally managed to get fully into the splits!!! So thank you :)

Im 13 and have been doing this routine twice every single day and after 3 weeks I finally achieved the front splits! I'm now going to follow the middle split routine and achieve that too.

Hi Tom, since the quarantaine started my friends and I have been doing your follow routines quite often. Thank you for the tutorials and keep up the good work!!💪💪💪

I've been watching a lot of flex tutorials and yours is by far the one I liked the most, thank you

Best stretching videos I've found so far! I'm on week 2 and sore but feel incredibly motivated to continue on for the years ahead! Thank you for the follow along videos and motivation!

As a vision impaired person, i like your discriptions of the stretches. Great work.

WOW I tried your split stretching workout for the first time and suddenly got deeper into my splits than ever before! Gonna stick to your video, thank you! ❤

Ok so It's my second day in a row doing this routine. I'm gonna come back here when I can do the full splits (pls David don't forget to do it)

came here from reddit, and I love the moving where the slight flossing takes place, i think that the nerve was what was holding me back. I'm a few inches off the floor, but hopefully by doing this routine consistently I can finally get my splits back!

I swear to god I don’t know what’s with your video but it was the only video that helped me ! I followed a lot of front splits videos and I switch it up every week but your video did the most different in just one day one time ! Thanks to you I’m only like 3 CM from the ground so so close

I’ve tried so many split routines , but your routine!!!! Works wonders for me I’m really seeing results a lot faster … Thank u so much and I love u 😂❤️

OOf this was great, best stretch I've had in a while. I'm not quite at full splits but I'm getting close!!!

Thank you for this video, I appreciated how you took your time through each stretch. The timing was perfect for my body, and the second round was much needed.

1. warmup knee drops 2. 2 right angles 3. Military like stretch 4. lunches: -elbow to knee -twist back -go for calves -hamstrings

Love your follow alongs, every weekend I chose 3-4 of them and do them in the evening!

Brilliant, I am 60 ex Army. when I reached my 50s, body started going, still went grm, but half the time with some injury, But now following all your streching routines, and I have noticed a difference. No more groaning when standing up and sitting down. I cant see my self doing the full splits but getting a tad lower each time,

Thanks Tom. I need this routine. I know this is five years old but the routine is exactly what I need. I've been working on this here and there but now I can follow along! Thank you!

This month and with all the extra time on my hands, I’ve been trying to do front splits.. I used a couple different stretch routines which were great, but after doing this follow along for a few days, I finally slid into a front split! I really like all your videos and how they are detailed without being stressful. Thanks, Tom!

4 years later and I’m still using this video to stretch ☺️ thank you yet again for this Tom!

This routine is absolutely fantastic! Thank you so much. My whole lifetime I've been lifting heavy weights and neglecting stretching to my own detriment. Your videos are brilliant.

Thanks to your video I was able to go almost all the way for the first time, definitely saving this video to practice more in the future.

Oh boy how does your knee not hurt with just that little yoga mat under it? I have to personally put my 2 meter yoga mat 8th fold over just so my knee doesn't feel like its dying during some of these.

I’m really surprised by and fond of how our body is designed. I’m 15 (Male) and I started doing your routines in lockdown. I eventually achieved the Front Splits through this routine but gradually lost it after I started focusing more on the Box Splits. This is my second day doing this routine after a while and I can already almost do it... TWO F**KING DAYS!!, Anyways, now I’ll have Front AND Box Splits... HAHAHAHA!!!

Know, we just need the middle splits routine ^^ Good job, i'll give it a try tomorrow!

I started doing this routine at the beginning of August 2020 every other day (some weeks would be just twice a week because quarantine laziness), and while I’m not hitting full front splits four months later, I’m more flexible than ever before! For reference: I regularly failed the sit and reach flexibility tests at school and physicals because I couldn’t touch the box (ie, I couldn’t touch my toes), nor could I fully straighten either leg in front split position (my right leg in particular would only stay bent at a comically high angle). Now I can straighten both legs in front split position. On good days, I can touch my toes! There are days I dread doing this routine - I’m typing this now to procrastinate - but it’s been awesome to see actual progress!

Wow this is awesome, this not only helps me with my sciatica but also I been wanting to do the splits so I will start today and see at what day I will be able to do the front splits ! Great vid thanks !

i love this background music. its oddly contagious and satisfying. Sometimes when im at work i have it playing in my head to help the day go by faster.

Good morning Tom. This is by far the best follow along video for achieving the front split. I loved it! I'm about 1-1.5 inch from my front splits and I know doing this daily will get me there. Thank you so much! Will be watching ALL your follow along videos. You are the BEST .

I have been SO close to reaching my front splits over the past few weeks, and doing this video ONCE, by the end of the video I was finally able to do it. Thanks so much!

I've made so much progress using these follow along videos. Thank you!

I just started watching yr videos.. did the 20 min stretch routine today. keep it up

This video finally made me get my splits down to the floor! Thank you!

I know you have videos on the middle splits, but would you be able to make a follow along vid as well?

Great video - love it that you show us the effort and the discomfort & that is short enough to do a couple of times a week - thanks so much

This is the best split video I've found so far.

Tom : ok that's it a nice, short , and sweet follow along. Me: that was very hellish, painful and most of all its not that short ahhhh it hurts so much but its ok . No pain no gain i will do updates

This combined with the stretches for a pancake are 👌🏻 my medial hamstrings are really stopping me from getting my full splits so this combo is great

Hey mate thanks for doing this tutorial because of ur stretch tips I can kick higher in taekwondo and quickly achieve my full middle split

Love your energy, honesty and follow alongs! So grateful to have found you!

subscribed because after doing this video once, I was able to almost get my full front splits! thanks :)

Got my front splits because of this video❤❤❤...unfortunately stopped stretching lost it just a bit😂😂...back here to do more😌❤...kudos!

I love how realistic your follow along routine is. This is very effective for me and I'm way lower than I was before. Thank you very much Tom!♥

This video really helped me. I already saw changes when I was halfway, I then tried at 14 minutes in and I was a lot closer. I recommend this video to people who want to be able to do the splits quickly. I do want to know how many days you should do it for though.

this got me my front splits, thank you so much!

Tried this for the first time today. i cannot do full front splits & didn't expect to be able to by the ned of this video. I put a Pilates roller under my leg while doing the splits practice. It started under my knees & by the end it was under the top of my thigh! i feel like front splits are achievable for me!

your splits-follow-along videos have been nothing but wonders!!! thank you so much for sharing your effective and challenging routine!! the music in the background is a plus too!!!

This is by far the best front split follow along I have done!! Real progress with my own splits Thanks you ❤❤❤🙏🏼

I had a long day on my feet, and yet following this video really rejuvenated me. Thank you so much!

FOLLOW ALONGS. FINALLY. THANK YOU

Love this little stretch routine! On my good side I can drop into an over split with no stretching prior but usually my bad side i need 45 minutes to an hour of stretching beforehand to get completely flat. I tried this and got completely flat! I'll be using these stretches more often!

I’m on my second day on this routine I really love it 😍👌🏽

Thanks this was helpful

Most effective follow along video I have tried so far, thank you!

I have never been close to performing a full split but this is great for hamstring and hip flexor flexibility in general, thanks Tom!

You have literally helped me get so far done in one video I switch between different videos a lot because otherwise I will of course get used to the routine and specific stretches so it won't be so helpful but I am very close only about a couple cms awayyyy

Dude I've been close for a while but thanks to this video I just got it on both sides, fully squared off for the first time. Nice one man!

Hi Tom, I'm new to mobility training and the channel, I was wondering if you had or could make a video on how to do mobility measurements in order to be able to track your process, this is all new me and I haven't been able to find a good video on KZfaq that shows this.

Congrats for the 200k Tom :) I remember your 2k so seeing all this route is pretty wholesome

Yee boy! Day two of thirty! >:D Leshh go! This one def hurt more than yesterdays haha

This really helped me get into the splits! i still nedd to go a bit lower but im doing this strech 4 times a day! so thank you!

Yes!! Great work! Looking forward to the middle split and pancake! 🙌🙌🙌🙌

"For those of you who are feeling a little bit masochistic" lol 20:03. Good video Ill try this for a month

Dear Tom These follow along videos are very useful and helps a lot. Thank you very much and please keep up.

don't rush into splits! once i'm 20 minutes into my routine i can do oversplits on both sides :) no forcing yourself or hanging on your limits, or being disappointed because of high expectations. i can get as far as tom when i'm not stretched out because i stretch consistently at least 3 times a week! but don't forget about stretching other body parts as well! shoulders, back and hips are very important. TIP: start with hip stretching early because middle splits took me waaaaay longer than front splits, while my knees were touching the ground in the butterfly position!

Day 4 of doing this routine and now I can touch my toes and my splits are a lot closer to the ground! Cant wait to get my splits!

Just the right length, just a daily stretching routine. Really enjoyed these short band sweet 20 minutes videos. Thumbs up all the way.

yaaaaaah , have been waiting for this . Love the follow throughs

I love your follow along videos. It will be nice if you can do one that consists of front, middle and pancake all within 30 minutes. I am planning to follow until I can do the splits. Thanks for the excellent work and I have forwarded your video to many of my friends already.

been doing this routine almost everyday and im definitely seeing progress

1 month completed from today live updates everyday until I get my front splits

OMG I GOT DEEPER 2 INCHES AWAY TO 1 INCHES AWAY TYSMMMMMMMMMM

thank you so much for the excellent flow! it's not too quick, it's not too long

This is one of the best Routines of all Time 🙋

This is the most effective routine to get the split that I've tried!

So I got the splits in 2 months and 11 days. And I was so inflexible before. I alternated between this routine and another one with rest days

Damn... this is it. YES, U'LL GET INTO UR SPLITS IN NO TIME... love the video❤

Awesome video. You are fantastic coach
