Question
The -wonderful- U. S. Army did not even follow their own regulations, and did -flutter kicks- by the thousands, in our unit. This actually FOCUSES strengthening and therefore tightening of the hip flexors. The -wonderful- U. S. Army also did not follow their new regulations on stretching. AT ALL. Like my unit NEVER stretched anything. ever. But, since my hammies felt tight, I did my own stretching, MOSTLY on my ham-strings, because they felt tight. This was before and after running 5 miles every other day.
We also did the wonderful -old-school / normal- situps, which also flex the hip flexors too much. We did these on the CEMENT. we had people's tail bone area BLEEDING on many occasions. This was NOT just basic training mind you. Also, we did ZERO other core and ab work. ONLY basic -regular- situps. In addition to all of this, they kept having us sit in our cars for MOST of the day, since they actually didn't have much for us to do. OR. we were -welcome- to sit on. wait for it. the cement.
All of this and more caused my L5 vertebrae to slide over my sacrum by about 3-4mm. I STILL can't stand for very long, or walk very long either. It's -hilarious- that I find some of this out NOW after 10 years of being OUT of the service. The U. S. Army is CHOCK FULL of idiots who don't follow regulations and think they're being -tough-. They're just injuring masses of people.

Without working out, one quick fix I discovered is to check if you're putting more weight on your toes than your heels when walking. If you are, even if it's a little uncomfortable, trying dropping your heel down while walking or standing upright. When I started doing this, I put less pressure on my front leg muscles (no idea about the scientific term, and by doing so my anxiety levels actually started dropping dramatically, and it helped with my IBS as well. Kind of crazy how it took me years of trying all different things to fix my health problems, but just switching the weight on my feet was the one thing that actually did anything. Now I just gotta try these exercises and hope they do the rest of the work for me.

I have this for sure. hella arched back, super short hammies, hate ab workouts. I tend to feel it in my hip flexors when I attempt to do lower ab work.
I thought I just had the remnants of my -hockey bum-. also I saw a hockey player prospect show on tv where they were getting stretched out by a trainer and she said they all had the shortest hammies she's ever worked with so I thought it was a somewhat normal repetitive skating related thing. partiall tore my ACl and the doctor siad my hammies were not strong enough to harvest from. I was already one leg curling the entire weight stack on the ham curl machine for high reps. so I never got it done.

My mind is just blown. I've always had bad flexibility in my hams and that pelvic problem. Also bad lower back pains in the past. I've been working out for a couple of years and always neglected my abs, thinking it unnecessary. Now I realise that squatting and deadlifting heavy weights could be a severe problem if my abs are so far behind. I need to rethink my entire workout regime.
The question is: should I continue with my current workout and throw in abs and glutes excercises on cardio days or drop all the heavy stuff and focus entirely on my core strength for a while?

And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment: (Hebrews 9: 27)
And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent: (Acts 17: 30)
For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death. (2 Corinthians 7: 10)
I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish. (Luke 13: 5)
For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. (Romans 10: 13)

I've had this problem over 11 years. Caused me to have a bulged disc which ended up in a fusion. Still have the pelvic tilt and going to PT for it. They are pushing me to stretch hamstrings at PT which is extremely painful. My lumbar muscles are so bound up I have insane pain from doing anything from work, standing or sitting. I'm going to try these suggestions as nothing else has helped me yet. My surgeon told me today that I need an additional 4 weeks off work and I've already been off for 12 weeks.

Omg this video has opened my eyes. For a while now I kept feeling the sense that my spine was somehow too curved at the bottom but I had never seen any examples of other people experiencing it. It looks just like this! I'll definitely be trying this and checking the other vids for the rest of the exercises to help fix this. I'm so tired of my back hurting all the time. Thank you so much for making this vid!

Holy crap. I didn't even realize I had this. Been suffering from a super tight back for years, especially in the mornings. Just consciously standing correctly created a major stretch on my hip flexors. Didn't even have to do any of the exercises in this vid. Just practiced standing correctly, maybe even exaggerating a bit. Immediate relief. And this morning, my back tightness was reduced by 80%+. THANK YOU

Saw a physiotherapist 10 years ago who advised certain stretches etc. I still have the pain despite doing everything they said. I gave up on it all a year ago as it clearly did not help. Now I know there is a name for this, I see the cause and effect and have started your treatment today. Time will tell but you have given me hope that this can be fixed. Thank you.

Thanks for the video-. After years of rideshare driving I have that shape and plenty of difficulties with my lower back.
And guys-. Start this exercise carefully. Especially if you-re over 35, do one day, skip the next, then get back in to it. Bottom line don-t hurt yourself to see a change overnight.
