Your tightness isn’t the problem. It’s the solution.
When you feel tight, the natural response is to stretch it. Fair enough. But look at the result honestly. People stretch the same areas for years, get a bit of temporary relief, decide they’re just not flexible, and carry on.
Here’s what’s actually going on.
Your body doesn’t trust you in that range of motion.
If you’re weak around the hips, tightness is protection. It stops you going somewhere you can’t control. That’s your nervous system doing its job.
So stretching it harder is arguing with the wrong thing.
What changes it is information. Show the brain it’s safe to go there by getting strong in the range you’re avoiding.
The challenge: the abductor lift-offs in the video.
Three sets of ten. Both elbows straight. Barely tip the heel at the bottom. Hold the last rep of each set for five to ten seconds.
Swap your stretching for that and see how you get on.
Nothing changes if nothing changes.
Real progress comes from seeing where you actually are, experimenting, and understanding your own body a bit better. Not from holding a position and hoping.
