Two questions: 1: Has this house just been burgled? 2: Why didn't they take the cute elephants?

Thanks for this! I'm trying to learn to do the splits for a Zensual dance class and they charge ridiculous prices! I've spent my whole life without sports and just desk jobs and Im trying to learn to take care of myself. Sometimes those prices are discouraging (because I have to pay for healthy foods, new clothes as I lose weight,etc lifestyle changes are expensive!) and I think that its' amazing that they have a passion to help people! Thank you!

Lovey I am actually astonished how this worked so well on my first try. Lol now I can touch my toes

I did it, it worked so well. My hands were like 5 inches away from the ground when I started, did the stretch and then I could easily touch my toes. More people need to hear about this.

nice vid! bros i mastered the pistol squats and now i see haters in gym telling me its not good caus of back rounding and it can hurt my spine, but i always need some backroundung to keep balance, opinion please..

OMG I was already flexible and I could touch the ground by leaning forward, but after following the steps in this video, I could lean even harder and feel more flexible. this really works!

Thanks for sharing, always look forward to your vids 👍

I am in love with his hair

I was told about that stretch by my physio/osteo, but because I don't have the level of flexibility that you guys do, I can't grab my ankle to do the stretch. I tried the sitting on the legs version, but I can't put my arms back to rest on my hands either. I was at the gym and actually put one foot back onto the Swiss ball, which allowed me to do the stretch. My physio agreed with that option, and also said I could use a chair or the arm of the couch to get myself into the position to stretch my quads. Just wanted to share that option in case anyone else has the same struggle. Perhaps if I do it enough, I'll get to the point where I can hold my ankle!

Question! How do you stretch/strengthen your back when your stretching forward or down. I can’t stop myself from curving my back- how do I fix that?

Awesome tip, thanks guys!

This is just what I've been looking for! I've been sitting down quite a bit growing up, thus I can't reach my toes. But I'll give this a try and I hope it'll work out, in time, ofcorse

thanks tapp bros

This is very interesting. I never would have thought to stretch my quads in order to improve my hamstring flexibility, which has always been bad for me. Thanks.

SERIOUSLY WHY SOME PPL R TALKING CRAP AND WANT TAPP BROS TO CUT THEIR HAIR?! ITS NONE OF UR BUSINESS AND UR HERE TO LEARN THEIR AMAZING HACKS AND VIDS SO STOP TALKING TRASH AND THROWING IT AROUND!!!! Btw, I'm really amazed of ur videos, thank god ppl like you exist, good luck to reach even more subscribers❤️

Wow! Very impressive progress! Thank so much..!

That just blew my mind. Thank U!

Thanks for tip on stretching, anyone who knows of Dr Berg got my attention, I been following him for a couple of years. I'll have to add your channel as well.

This stretch actually surprisingly worked. Improved about five inches after doing it

Man that guy is shredded for being a little skinny. What type of abs routine would you recommend to look like that? Keep up the good work!

I like how you talk of reciprocal inhibition and myo-tactic reflexes. People need to understand how the body balances itself!! YES!!!

I learned the first stretch in TKD and I used it ever since, I used to not be able to even get near touching my toes, but the I did the stretch everyday and now I'm able to put my chest to my knees. I love it so much.

Thank you very much !! I really like it :D

I have done yoga for six months and have not been able to place my hands flat on the floor. One stretching episode from this video and I was able to do this!! I can't even believe it!!!

I love how the Tapp brothers know who Dr. Berg is!

Hey just wanted to say your videos have been super helpful for many years to me.

Lots of knowledge indebted . Congratulations

Wow, I have tightness in my knees and couldn’t touch the floor but after doing this video.. my fingers came closer to it. Thanks for sharing!

VERY NICE 5 MINUTE ROUTINE. This will be my daily A.M. and P.M. routine. Many thanks...!!!

how did yous know I was having hamstring issues thanks so much. my hammies have gotten so tight that I can't even do the stretch. hope fully wuth what you've shown in can get back to my workouts

Excellent, thank you.

Tried and true, thankyou!

Thanks for the advice. It made a difference in my flexibility immediately. I was having a problem in bending forward, after this exercise I could bend easily. Thanks

Omg it actually works 😂😍 THANK YOU 😄

I came to this video to help me with my yoga forward fold.....and found the two best looking guys on KZfaq! Double bonus. I love the hair so much....oh, and the exercise works. Thank you x

Gonna try this for the next week Thanks 🙏🏾

FTR, this old "trick" actually has nothing to do with stretching the opposing muscle group. It actually works due to putting an active load against the opposing group. This is because in order to allow a muscle group to move the limb, the opposing muscle group needs to be relaxed (otherwise they would offset each other, and little to no movement would occur. In order for this to happen, the nervous system sends a relax signal to the opposing muscle group at the same time it is sending a signal to the loaded group to contract. Stretching the opposing muscle group appears to work, because stretching puts an active load on that group, and sends a relax signal to the group you are trying to increase flexibility in, but any active load will work. And the effect is at its maximum immediately after tensing the opposing group, and diminishes as time goes on. Also, the reason you want to lock your knees in such demonstration stretches is because when you don't, there is no way to definitively show an increase in range of motion, because what appears to be extra ROM can actually just be increased flexion at the knee joint. In this case, the subject is clearly bending his knees more, detracting somewhat from the claims made.

How does my posterior chain, particularly the hamstrings, get stretched, when I'm actually stretching my anterior chain (hip flexors, quads, etc.)?

👍 Yep. It works! Thank you!

Thanks Tapp bros this realy will help. I have been working on loosing my fear of falling and getting hurt and I think this will help.

Thank you, Aslan!!

I don't know why everyone is telling him to cut his hair. The style looks so smooth it's not something everyone has

Thank you! Before stretching I could touch my toes with the tips of my fingers, after the stretching I managed to touch the ground with my whole hands.

Great information. Thank you very much.

This is so cool because I learned something interesting! Nice work! Thank you ~

Its true thanks

Does this stretch help with spilts? I’m trying to get my spilts for ballet but I still have a long way to go. Thanks.

This is gold thank you

you always give amazing tips thanks

THANK YOU! Even in Gymnastics 500 yrs ago(for me that is) they didn't give us simple little tip. This would have alleviated so much pain in the beginning of the season! Wow!

After countless different exercises to fix APT, i tried this once using just 2 minutes and I could touch my toes.... AMAZING! Thank you so much!

Thank u so much.It helped me a lot.

Thank you

Lovely, thank you

great tip; this is actually ancient knowledge of the Shaolin, they knew it relaxes when opposite leg muscle is tensed. They do a static squat with the feet spread far apart to activate quad tension AND stretch the hamstrings simultaneously.

Dr Berg is the best

Thank you!

Really good exercise .. thanks a lot bros

Good video!! Thank You!!

If you do that quad stretch lying down with the other leg bent you won't get that arch in the back that comes from tightness in the area. More effective and safe for people prone to such issues.

This really is working. Thanks a million! :)

Thanks dude! cool trick.

They seem like very nice people and doing something for others. I also very much like Dr. Berg

This do work so well! Ive been having problems with my back, hamstrings and glutes caused by sitting to much playing guitar and piano. Now ive been doing yoga for some time, which in many cases utilizes the same teqniques, and i also do some stretches every day while brushing my teeth :) Haha

Really working

I looked up this stretch because I did this exact thing today while walking. the back of my legs felt tight and fatigued after only half a mile and my back felt an ache. Normally I'd want to stretch the part that feels tight, BUT as exactly as you demonstrate, I instead stretched my quads (since I realized I never do that much) I then resumed walking pain free. yey!

It’s works so well

Gentlemen, Thanks. Instant flexibility increase! I am 55 years old and have been looking for this since i was a teenager. (Before you guys were born?) Now I am double my late teens weight and really need this more than ever. It is a pleasure to learn of this treasure, and its absolute simplicity and effectiveness! Thank you.

I have to say that I did not expect that to work that well, but I tried it and it did! Thx!

I haven't touched my toes in over two years. Thank you

Yay, got the hands below my kneecaps!! 🏆🥇

I was GENUIS! Really gonna try and do it everyday

Thumbs up for you and @Dr berg

THX THIS ACTUALLY WORKED FOR ME😉

Blown! This really works! Great shift in mindset

rockin the martial arts shoes hell yeah man i love those shoes for kung fu

It works!! Try holding stretches for longer and you will get way better results!!!

Is your freerunning as smooth and flow-ey as your hair? 🙀🙀🙀

it worked ... thank you@!

It's actually great exercise

I have a few issues with this: 1. The quadriceps are irrelevant, stretching them is the only way to relax the hamstrings. 2. I understand that stretch receptors stimulate muscle contraction in response to stretching. But how does hamstring muscle relaxation (which presumably dampens stretch receptors) mean that your hamstrings are now able to stretch further? You stretch them again and the stretch receptors activate as usual. 30 seconds of bending your leg is not going to change your stretch receptor sensitivity over any long period. 3. The only effect I see in this video is perhaps that of warming up, and his knees were also slightly more bent at the second stretch. 4. You did not recommend warming up before stretching

thanks for the very useful tip

Im working on my speed vaults and I'm having trouble lifting my legs up far enough, could you explain how to work on that?

maybe it will help with my pelvic pain thank you

Great information

Thanks, i had no idea about the nervous system thingy

Wow now the internet knows how to hack the human body

nice, thanks

worked great!

4:40 I actually do that every time and today I realized that I am getting flexible !!!

Thanks this helped me a lot👌👌👌👍👍👍

Needed this

hey, I need to try this asap, I am new to your channel did you do a video on how to stretch the calves?

dude! thank you! I've trying to touch my toes forever..now I can touch the floor!!! I'm excited. (I am very non flexible)

Could this stretch be helpful before/after a cardio workout?

Magic!!! great video.

great exercise

thanks man its usefull

great video. I've got a question for you guys. I've been going through some of your body weight routines but i have an issue with too many pushup like moves. An old injury puts a lot of pressure on my right shoulder and i have to stop. Do you have suggestions for alternate moves or increasing the range of motion for the shoulders? Thanks.

Amazing it works
