Flexibility – MaxiFlex
Hey guys,
someone I work with ices skates in her spare time and has shown me an accessory that ice skaters use to increase leg flexibility. I’ve purchased one today and was wondering if anyone here has heard of maxiflex? I can’t wait to try it.

I have seen these and look great let us know how it works! Also does anyone think a theraband would work as well?

Hurray, the MaxiFlex finally arrived today. I had a quick go but didn’t want to go too far as I wasn’t warm. Will keep you guys posted on what I think. It didnt cost much so I’ll be very pleased if it does help me progress.

Wow I had forgotten about that! Looking forward to seeing if it works!

Interesting. Let us know how it works!

My boyfriend was watching me stretch last night and mentioned something that people that do karate put around their legs to stretch, I wonder if this was what he was talking about? Let us know how it works!

I gotta admit, I don’t entirely get how it works! But it’d be great if it really could help you get more flexible https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif

I’m not warm to be able to use the maxiflex right this miniute so I took a couple of photos of the instruction leaflet to show you how it works. I also linked to a youtube video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NYMkeFbaz50" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; I’d skip to 2:50 if you are going to watch it though as it drags on abit. I’m going to take progress photos once a week and will share them with you.

Glitterhips -I know what your boyfriend is talking about, I think those are abit more hardcore though and only work on the box splits, they are also not very easy to store as they are quite large.

Glitter I think this is kinda what you BF is talking about.I saw this in forums awhile ago and can’t remember were I saw it, but boom http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GAeuplQdyZM here it is again. Super cheap and it makes stretching for box splits easier. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

Any updates on the maxiflex? I did some research on it and it looks pretty good but I'm still a little leeryhttps://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_confused.gif

Is there a websight for this device?
-
There is a website for it. I did a google search on "maxiflex" and "reviews on maxiflex" as well as I watched the link above on youtube. If you're looking to purchase one I found it at a good price on ebay.

Ok so I'm gonna answer my own questionhttps://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif I bought the maxiflex and absolutely love it. It's easy to use and wow does it make a difference. I've only been using it for a week but notice a huge difference already. I actually look forward to stretching now. Don't get me wrong it hurts like hell but once you get relax into it eases up and you can see your progress. Ankle get ready to meet ear https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif

Hey, I didn't realise anyone had posted on here for a long time, it just so happened to come up on my daily update email. I must be honest I haven't had time to use it properly due to being so busy. After March my work life should calm down and I'll have more time in the evenings to work on it. Glad to see that its working out well for you. When I have played arround with it I do find it much easier than streching sat on the floor.

id like to try using that as well as the crutches idea

@Shacko I hear ya about time. I work stupid hours and hate stretching on the floor in the traditional way so this has been a blessing. I hook it up to the door and stretch while I read, or watch tv. Thanks for posting about ithttps://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif
@kat pole princess if you're looking for great ab excercises and are like me and get bored of doing the same workouts check out Kristy Wilson on youtube. She's a cirque du soleil performer and her workouts are amazing. I've been doing the advance core workout for the last month every night and I've noticed a difference in my toning as well as a lot of the tricks I've been working on.
