Hyperbolic Stretching is a rising star in the world of “next best thing” in fitness programming. The gender-specific program is based on the idea that full-body flexibility can be transformed in four weeks (eight minutes per day!) and that men and women need different stretching techniques to achieve their fitness goals. The program boasts that it is suitable for novices and experts. But is it legit as it sounds?

Generally — albeit without any actual scientific basis — stretching is considered a cornerstone of any good fitness routine. For decades, fitness gurus have preached the value of stretching despite the lack of evidence that it warms muscles up, decreases pain, or improves recovery.

The problem with viewing stretching as a panacea is that it just doesn’t pass muster for anything other than increasing range of motion. Paul Ingraham of PainScience, who took a deep dive into all things stretching, wrote, “Stretching as therapy mostly rides on the coattails of stretching’s indomitable popularity for other purposes, especially the nearly universally accepted idea that flexibility is a pillar of wellness and fitness, on par with strength and endurance.

“Unfortunately, that claim does not hold up to scientific scrutiny. All common ideas about the benefits of stretching have been shot down by research over the last twenty years.”

Enter the new kid on the block: hyperbolic stretching. The brainchild of Alex Larsson, the program’s goal is to teach users a routine that makes a lot of hefty promises.

Larsson is an ex-computer programmer who left his sedentary lifestyle to become an expert in flexibility. According to Larsson, a “total neuro-muscular shutdown in my back, hips, and hamstrings” was the problem.

He doesn’t completely connect the dots between this incident and the development of his program. If the number of users he reports are true, the people aren’t concerned about the lack of connection.

The root word in the program title, hyperbole, derives from the Greek word for “excess.” Hyperbolic stretching seems to fit the bill as the program’s main idea is excessive or exaggerated stretching with the ultimate goal of achieving the splits. It’s not just improving range of motion, but having you doing the actual splits.
