Hi, First begin to internalize the new habits that Mr Kurz mention in terms of what NOT to do, when to do, and what. In parallel, begin with a strength program, just like it is in the video, it is very clear. Then you can decide where to start, what works for you best. It is hard to sew a program fo...

Hello Cindy, I remember the qoute you gave from article # 5, but it seems I didn't pay attention to details (my English). Second, when I have discovered the genius method of Mr. Kurtz, I was quite flexible (able to do front split, but problems with side split, no problems with kicking). I think that...

Hi Cindy, You can do splits without warmup? Wow, I'm happy for you. As an answer to your Qs: 1. Dynamic leg raises I do almost every day as part of the warmup and even if I don't work on Kurz's program. As I told you earlier, I have tried to do the leg raises also in the morning, but like in last ti...

Thanks for your reply Cindy, I found your information from Kurz's book very interesting and I think that this will answer most of my Qs. As I understand, the tape 'secrets of stretching' is not enough, and the book have many additional information that can't be found in the tape. You wrote: This imp...

Corrections

1. I didn't hear any from the video to do 500 reps in one set (I may wrong) ??? 2. Situps are mainly for the hip flexors, and should be trained only after your lower back is strong enough. 3.

Hi Cindy, I appreciate your reply, and impressed from your knowladge. Let me clear some things, Yes, isometric stretches in the video tape are genius. The dynamic stretches also worked for me, but just doing them in the evening during the warm up for my class or for a session that I do for myself. H...

Few hours after doing the side split, and maintain it for ye

Hello all, I have Mr Kurtz's video for many years, and I'm using this method whenever I want to gain some progress in my splits. I was enable to do all splits (front and side) for some years after a good warm up and static streches. There are two problems: 1. There are some periods, during them I fe...
