Hey, everybody out there, Coach Dan Long with Get Lean in 12.
And we are live, and I have something
awesome for you today.
If you are like me, and you're over the age of 35--
I'm 44-- I want you to pay attention,
because today I'm going to answer the question,
can you eliminate or reduce lower back pain
by just some simple stretches?
The answer to that is absolutely yes.
And I'm going to tell you why.
But first, do me a favor.
Say hi, right down below.
Go ahead and make a comment.
Let me know where you're at.

Now, I have a problem.
I have four bulging disks, L1, 2, 3, and 4.
In my lower back, OK, is bulging disk.
L5 is a herniated disk.
And as you know, there is no cure for a herniated disk.
The only cure is to either have it lasered
or to use stretches or any kind of things
that can combat the pain, to get inflammation down, and also
use it to help you in aiding, so that when you do exercises--
because me, personally, I love to high intensity train.
And it's one of the things that is
in my heart, my passion, and my love,
is I love to metabolically crush belly fat, right?
Love crushing belly fat and love feeling like I'm a lot younger.
So if you're over 35, if you're in the age of 40, 50, 60,
this is going to be for you.
Now, by the way, up top here, you're going to see the link,
or on the side.
Don't click that link just yet, because I
want to show you these stretches that are going to help you.
And then at the end, I'm going to show you what kind of types
of exercises, by going to this link at the end,
that I do to stay nice and fit and get
the body that I desire, being over 40,
because I'm 44 years old.
OK.
So let me get into this.
Look what I have right here.
So basically, I just have a regular bath towel, OK?
You're going to fold your bath towel, like you
can see I have here, right?
Maybe fold it one more time.
And then, as you fold this bath towel--
make it nice and long just like so--
we're going to do four different stretches that
are going to help you with lower back pain.
If you have any herniated disk, I highly
recommend you definitely check with your doctor
before you do any of these.
But these are tremendous.
Now, I do want to say this.
I have paid tons of money in chiropractic and also massage
therapy to learn what I know now.
And the one thing that works the most for me
to eliminate tension and help put
a lot less stress on my lower back are these stretches.
And you're going to get them today, right now,
for absolutely free, just for stopping on the feed today.
Don't forget to say, hi, OK?
All right, so let's go down on the ground.
Now, you're just going to lay back just like this.
OK, my left side, because of my SI joint
and where my herniation is, my left side is affected
a lot more than my right.
I highly recommend you do these stretches
at least once every other day.
If you can do them every day, it's even better.
You'll eliminate a lot of tension.
So first, the towel, I'm going to leave right here, because I
want to show you something.
I'm going to leave it right here, all right?
First, let's just do this simple.
So you're going to lean back.
Take the pressure off your head by leaning straight back.
OK, the first stretch is going to be just like this.
Interlock your fingers.
Come up here to your knee.
Bring your knee into your chest, nice and slow.
OK, leave this leg straight on the ground.
Pull this in as far as you can slowly.
Remember, when you're stretching,
those muscles could be cold.
You do not want to pop one of those muscles.
So as you can tell, I've been doing my stretches,
and I can get this pretty far back.
You may be even tighter.
Pull this as far as you can back until the thigh
touches your chest, OK?
Once you've got that in there, I want
you to hold that position for approximately 20 to 30 seconds,
no longer than 20 to 30 seconds, OK?
Once you have that all the way in,
and you've worked that muscle, be nice and warmed up,
then what you're going to do is you're
going to release on your knee.
You're going to put your right hand on your left knee,
and you're going to start, with his hand down on the ground,
and you're going to start to pull
on your knee towards your hip.
OK, now, you're going to feel all kinds of tension in here.
With me, in my herniated disk, I feel all this SI joint
starting to tighten up--
I mean, loosen up.
And I start to feel this right here loosening
as I pull down on this knee.
Now, the object is to keep the other leg on the ground,
nice and flat, and don't roll with it.
Let the leg roll with the hit on my left side, just like so.
And then, again, release the neck,
because my neck was getting all tensed up.
Pull this down, and try to do this slowly.
And just keep moving till you can get it about that far.
Hold it, and deep breaths, OK?
And then exhale.
So in the nose, exhale.
And you want to concentrate on this.
I'm talking while I'm doing this.
It's not easy to do.
But I want you to work to get this knee as to far down
to the ground as possible, OK?
So I'm going to let up on that, because that's
about 20 to 25 seconds.
Back in-- you can bring this back in,
just like so, and then the knee back over one more time.
Now, you want to do these each about 20 to 30 seconds,
and then relax for 20 to 30 seconds.
And then you can start again.
All right?
I'm shooting this video here for you,
so I want to make sure I get all of this in.
And I don't want to take all your time up today.
So this is two of the stretches out of four
I want to show you, OK?
The next is a figure four.
You're going to take this knee, pull it out.
Pull this ankle in.
Bring your other knee up just like so.
Hold this leg.
Then put your hands in an interlock
underneath your thigh.
Lean back, and bring in the knee.
Now, when you do this, you're going
to feel a lot tension down in here, OK?
You're stretching all these muscles, hamstrings.
You're stretching the glute.
You're stretching all in the thigh.
That's important, but it's also pulling
on your lower back muscles, OK?
Believe it or not, this is all affecting your lower spine.
And those vertebrae, they love you for this.
They will love you for this, trust me.
I have, for years, had so much back pain.
And if you do these stretches religiously, I promise you,
it will either eliminate or reduce dramatically your pain.
Remember, 20 to 30 seconds, bring this in slow, and then
release.
OK?
That's your third stretch.
Your fourth and final stretch--
you're going to use your towel.
You're going to bring this, just like this,
underneath your foot.
OK, now, the object here is to be about even on the towel
with where your foot is, OK?
Then this knee, I want you to work to get this knee
to straighten out.
Now, you can see I have a little bit of a bend, not much.
But slowly, I'm going to push on my thigh.
Meanwhile, I'm pulling this way on my foot,
and I'm keeping this from bending, so that I'm
stretching all of this.
And it goes right into the bottom of my spine,
into those vertebrae.
Now, I'm using the towel, because I
don't have another person here to help me stretch.
And I'm sure you probably don't either.
So this leg should be on the ground.
Make sure you work to get this in.
Remember-- slow, very slow, on doing these movements, OK?
Move this in.
Get it in.
And then, you want to work to pull
the towel towards your head, more or less.
And you're working to bring the whole leg back
at an angle towards your head and feel all that tension right
here.
Do not do this fast.
Make sure you pay attention.
OK, I want you to feel the best that you can feel.
And the only way it's going to happen
is to keep your muscles nice and loose.
We don't want them to pop, OK?
20 to 30 seconds on this--
and you can do this with one hand.
You don't need two hands to do this.
If you use two hands, you might pop your muscles.
So be careful.
It just needs a little bit of tension.
As you can tell, I can rock that just a little bit.
OK, now let loose.
Ooh, I can feel that, right into my SI joint.
OK, now you have to do the other side.
So again, knee in, I can feel all
that stretching all down in my glute, all into my hamstrings.
And in my lower back, I can feel that, OK?
The favorite stretch of mine is the next one,
which is, again, hand down, hand on the knee.
Bring it down and stretch just like so.
Try to keep the top of your back, which is your scapula,
on the ground.
And you can see that this side--
see how loose this side is?
I can go all the way down just that fast.
It just goes to show you how much tension I
have all the time on my left side
from having that herniated disk, which
is pinching a nerve root normally,
And it causes me a lot of pain.
So I'm trying to help you eliminate that pain,
so that you can use your body to have the body that you desire.
And the only way that that's going to happen
is to use some exercising that I have for you
and specific protocols that's geared
for people over the age of 40.
I'm going to show you that in a second.
So now, that's your second stretch, right?
Figure four-- don't forget, bring it up just like so.
Oh man, I have a lot of tension over here,
because I worked late yesterday.
And what happens?
Lactic acid starts to build up inside those muscles, right?
So these stretches, I'm going to tell you right now,
we all do not stretch enough.
We should be stretching religiously.
And if you're not, please do so, because your body
is going to thank you.
All right, so there's your third stretch.
And then, your fourth stretch, again,
is going to be the towel on the foot, just like so,
leg down, hand down by your side.
But you want to get that knee straight just like so.
On this side, you can tell I don't have a lot of tension.
So I can stretch this pretty far automatically,
because I'm pretty limber, because I
do these stretches religiously.
And you want to do just like that.
And you want to hold it 20 to 30 seconds.
And remember, 20 to 30 seconds on, 20 to 30 seconds off.
If you have someone that can help you with this,
they can stand behind your leg, put their hand on your knee,
just like so, and your foot up on your shoulder.
And they can bring it in.
But if you're like me, most of the time,
I don't have someone here.
And then, I just use this towel, which works tremendously.
All right.
So there's four stretches for you
to help eliminate or reduce lower back pain caused
by a bulging disk and/or herniated disk.
Now, the thing is, with that said,
why do I do these stretches?
One, I want to be able to exercise.
I want to be able to have the body that I desire.
If my back is hurting me, I cannot exercise.
There is no way that I can even exercise on machines, much less
alone, using body weight and doing
any kind of metabolic circuit that
could help me lose and shed the belly fat that I have today.
Now, how do I do that over the age of 40?
I use a system called the Over 40 Ab Solution.
At this link above, you're going to see it's specifically
designed for the people that are over the age of 35, geared
for people's hormonal conditions in their 40s, 50s, and 60s.
And if your back is not hurting, and you
have used these stretches to help
you gain your strength back, and you're able to exercise,
this system that's at this link up above
is the exact system that you can use
to help you get the body that you desire.
Now, don't forget, I want everybody to say hi to me,
