    OMG… THIS IS MAGICAL!!! I am a truck driver, and these last few years, I was transformed into a living “bobble head”. Having to turn my whole body around because I became so tight from the neck down. I have been doing these stretches for just a week, and it was like the ball and chain came off. I was backing up my truck, and was amazed at the range of motion I have. I’m so happy I found this routine.. dude… you are awesome. Im sure you get success stories like this all the time. I now follow all of your stretch routines and mix it up. Thanks bro!!!

    it is nice that you make pauses before and after the exercise as well as enjoy the stretch a bit longer yourself. translates some of that joy you experience. In this routine you focus on the most relevant parts but a full-body stretch might also be a hit.

  • @allluri
    @allluri Před 3 lety +46

    It always helps to hear where you're supposed to feel the stretch. Often being stiff in other places makes the correct position difficult to get into and you can't feel anything. Knowing where the stretch is aimed at makes it easier to adjust the position until you feel something.
    In my case anyways.
    Thank you for these videos!

    These all felt like stretches I need to do every day, maybe even twice... I've spent 20 years learning how to hold my body upright under load, with zero emphasis on making it able to move freely afterwards... Time to fix some of that... Thanks for leading us through these!

    This is is exactly what I was looking for. You saved my range of motion. I’m 5 weeks post op breast augmentation and I’m stiff as a board an I thought there was nothing on here. But I found you and I’m saved. I can do all of these poses except for the chest muscle flex for example the downward dog. Thank you handsome flexibility beardy stud. Yum yum so delicious

    Man I've been watching your channel for some weeks as of now and I think these exercises are amazing. It certainly feels like I have to work a lot more with my body since I've lost a lot of mobility and strength from been all day sitting down on a chair at work and also on a chair while driving and also on a chair when at home.
    Keep it up, I'll sure be doing daily stretching while watching your videos.

    So thankful to have found this video/channel…I’m 51, overweight and have chronic back issues (SI dysfunction also) and I do yoga and am trying to lose weight but got stuck in a cycle of hurting myself and giving up. I finally saw a good physical therapist and now approach movement differently (comes down to consistency and just keep moving). I take my time doing these and make adjustments as needed and already I’m seeing results (2 weeks in) in terms of flexibility with the added bonus of less pain…just wanted to say thank you for making these available and your gentle approach.

    A+ routine! My prior physical therapist laughed at how tight my hips and thighs were, and these stretches address all the problem areas he identified but all felt like better modifications than the ones he gave me. These were really deep stretches into the problem areas I have, which was nice because I often had trouble getting the stretch in the areas my PT identified BECAUSE the limitations in mobility I've been dealing with. It was discouraging that the problem prevented the stretch that would correct it, but these seem like they were all good work arounds as I felt the stretch right where I needed to. This seems like the ideal routine for anyone who sits long hours at their job like I do. I'll keep doing this one, thanks!

    I appreciate how you give credit to other teachers in your videos, decent attitude!
    And it’s amusing, in a sweet way, how you correct your over-accommodating expressions to more accurate indicators (e.g., from ‘more or less 90 degrees to... 90!) :-)
