Lower back/Hamstrings

    I've had problems with this in the past and I'm looking to address it yet again. Came across this exercise (http://www.pinkbike.com/news/How-to-Touch-Your-Toes-Without-Stretching-2013.html) which I actually tried last year and I did manage to improve my flexibility somewhat and touch my toes, something I was never able to do before. Thoughts on the exercise linked? Good idea/bad idea?

    That link doesn't work, it's the front page of a website. Care to repost?

    A lot of lower back and hamstring problems come from underdeveloped glute muscles. In terms of strength and mobility

    Just saying

    I didn't, sorry. I'll have a look when I have 7 spare minutes. :)

    It's standard FMS movement corrections. They're good stuff.

    And he explains hip hinge -v- spinal flexion well.

    But look at a smaller part of a bigger problem.

    A logical extension to this, is that a lot of hamstring and lower back problems come from sitting down too much which lead to weak glutes and hams.
