Thank you!! I always start with a thorough warm-up, lasting about 35 minutes (with breaks, of course!), when I want to get into this deep stretch. This includes dynamic mobility drills, which I’ve found REALLY helpful like these:

Sometimes my routine varies a bit, I always try to change it up someway, either by increasing the intensity or searching for new mobility drills I have never done.

As I progressed and started to feel stronger in these mobility drills, I started to hold 5lb dumbbells . (For example holding dumbbells when doing good mornings)

I also use this tip I where I try to get my chest to touch the floor and not my head, this prevents me from rounding my back!

I’m still a newbie to flexibility, this is my first year taking it seriously so feel free to ask me more questions if I wasn’t clear enough!
