Ep. 147 Your Tight Hamstrings Don't Need To Be Stretched
If you’re constantly stretching your hamstrings but still feel tight—you’re not alone. But that tightness isn’t always about needing more stretching. In most cases, it’s about weakness and poor control of your core and pelvis.
In this episode, we cover:
✔️ Why stretching alone won’t fix tight hamstrings—and how poor core control and pelvic alignment keep them overworking.
✔️ The real key to relief: glute activation and strength training. Learn why banded glute work isn’t enough if you’re not feeling it in the right places.
✔️ How to finally give your hamstrings a break by focusing on dynamic movements and teaching your core, pelvis, and glutes to work together.
🎧 Tune in and learn how to move smarter and feel stronger—without spending another day stuck on the floor stretching!
