      The food related term pancake cannot be misused to refer to a stretch / something that humnz do (food / plant / nature / tree / flower related terms cannot be misused by humnz) and nature related terms like ridge also cannot be misused in names, and must be edited out! CompIiments (including the best) also only reflect me, and cannot be misused by humnz, and special names like David / Dave and big terms like men / man (also guy / lad / boy etc) only reflect my pure protectors aka the alphas, and cannot be misused in names or comments about others / oneself, and the word movement cannot be misused because it has the word men in it! Food / plant / flower / tree / forest / nature / gemstone / color / power / light / astral / love / royalty / purity / respectability / season related terms / names / items and special names and compIiments cannot be misused in names or comments about others / oneself or to describe sports that humnz do etc - such terms are all big terms, and big terms and special names etc only reflect me & my protectors!

    I’ve been doing some of these stretches for the past 6 months since I’ve found this channel and my back pain from an injury 2 years ago has gone from a constant 8 or 10 to an occasional 2 that only flares up from exercise or sitting too long.
    My strength is back to 70% of what it was before the injury but I now am mostly without pain and life has improved drastically. Before I could barely walk and couldn’t do a single situp. Now I can do situps again and I can walk normally!

      @@kacpertomaszewski7460 Hello, no you don't have to work out before stretching. Just make sure you ease into it and don't rush it when you're not warmed up since you are more prone to injuries that way. In general I believe you shouldn't think stretching has to came with a workout before it but rather that a workout has to have stretching at the end of it. You see when you work out, your muscles get tense and shorten, stretching afterwards releases that tension and increases recovery and decreases the risk of injury later on. Hope I could help!

      ​@lojokey155 My physio reccomended I do knee extensions, hamstring curls, and goblet squats. He also reccomended a variety of stretches such as: the figure 4 stretch (in this video), hip flexor stretch (in this video), quad stretch, hamstring stretch, dead bugs and windshield wipers.
      I don't really like doing knee extensions, I've been doing step down squats instead which my kinesiologist friend reccomended.
      I pair this with regular walking and jogging/running 3 times a week. I was told a bit of pain is completely fine as long as it does not exceed a 4/10.
      I was also reccomended not to increase the volume of my running by more than 10% each week, and the intensity by more than 3% each week to allow my body to adapt.
      My knees have been pain free for a while now.
      I would reccomend just seeing a physio, especially if your work benefits cover paramedical services. My case may not be the same as yours.

    I love what you do, David! I found you on IG, but an super grateful for this video. It will make it lots easier to keep the routine as a practice. I started with the figure 4's about a month ago as recommended by my chiropractor and it changed my life! So excited to add all of your other stretches.

    I love the "I don't have time for stretching" approach! Makes for a great 20 minute routine to do just before bed, or just as I wake up in the morning.
    Keep up the amazing work!

  • @YevhenRawrs
    @YevhenRawrs Před rokem +280

    I know it might seem redundant but with my ADHD it's so much easier to do this kind of thing with a video for guidance/timing, so would you be willing to release another version of this video that's timed for the 30 seconds three times over to actually train greater mobility? I've been interested in fitness for a while but the common body builder stuff just doesn't mesh with me, but your content really does. Mobility is just a lot more interesting to me than chonky gains. Thanks for putting this content out there!

    • @Vinvei
      @Vinvei Před rokem +33

      I don't mean to be rude, so apologies if it comes off as such, but can't you just restart the video at the first stretch two more times after the first run through of the video to achieve that yourself? The video is chaptered with each stretch labeled at the corresponding time stamp for convenience if that's an issue. It's what I've been doing at least :)

    This is really helping me. I’ve been struggling a lot in my gym classes as an asthmatic, especially after getting Covid, it’s only gotten worse. I recently checked my grade in it and it’s a D- which has really kind of crushed me as a usual A student. This stretch has really boosted my confidence and made me feel a whole lot less sore from today (I had gym and I gathered wood today and which really strained my legs)
    Ive always associated gym with terrible feelings, when other students nitpick and make fun of my failures or my speed or when I need to slow down to prevent an asthma attack, this has reminded me of the good feeling of exercise without all that, even if it’s just some simple stretches. I will be doing this more from now on, thank you so very much, I don’t think I would be able to make it through the rest of this semester without your videos.
    I do have a fitness test coming up, where we have to run around the track. My teacher reminds us that we don’t have to run very fast to be able to get 4 laps in 10 minutes. But I can barely do 2. Even at the slow jog he demonstrated, I can still barely do it, jt makes my throat feel like ice and fire and my chest tightens, I can barely breathe and I sound like a whistle wheezing. No matter what speed I go, i can’t make it around the track once without a complete asthma attack. I don’t think I’m going to pass the test and I’m probably going to fail this class. I’m only a freshman, so my credits don’t count until next year, but I’m doing outdoor Ed Instead.
    Sorry for the tangent, if I say this aloud, I get ignored or brushed off, I needed to get it off my chest.
    Once again, thank you

    • @somedood3805
      @somedood3805 Před rokem +26

      Update: i did the test and just BARELY made it under 14 minutes so I nailed it. I did have the worst Asthma attack of my life and nearly collapsed at the end but I somehow did it

    • @simonmorgan3582
      @simonmorgan3582 Před rokem +6

      Congrats on the running test!!!! I have asthma too and PE was always my least favourite, especially the mile run and the pacer test as those always made me wheeze really bad. Thankfully over the past 5 years or so I’ve started to grow out of my asthma attacks, they at least happen less frequently and I can do a bit more exercise than I used to before it gets hard to breathe. Hopefully they will lessen with time for you as well, and good luck for your future!

    I just found your channel about a week ago and want to say what an absolutely amazing job you're doing. I've been trying to find some stretching videos for beginners. A lot of things say "for beginners" and aren't even remotely doable without heavy modification. This was absolutely perfect and very well paced! I didn't need to pause the video even one time while I was following along and it made it feel like my goal is real and achievable.
    You also do it in a very casual "you can do this anywhere" setting. The biggest set back I always have is I feel like I need a special space or I need all this stuff. I see so many "beginner" videos that tell you you need a ton of equipment or a gym membership or whatever else. I don't think they know ehar beginner means and I am so glad to have found you.
    You know exactly what people are looking for! You are amazing! Please keep up the good work!
    By the way, I was looking for stretching videos because when I was younger I used to put my foot behind my head all the time for fun, but can't anymore. My goal right now is to bring back that cool party trick. Lol

    I love the follow along!!! I used to do yoga and rock climbing a year ago, but I had to move for school. Since then I've felt that I'm losing the flexibility and range of motion, but those were both such social things for me that doing them alone feels sad. This follow along was perfect to not feel all alone while just relaxing after sitting and studying, and I can just play it a few times to get deeper stretches. Thank you!

      Kakasan/crowpose in yoga gives you that. I is a bit challanging in the beginning, depending on the mobility and strength in you fingers and wrists but is really gave me flexibility and strength of a monkey so te speak. It is also a ballancing poSe but that you can incorporate later to ease into the challange gradually. Look it up it might help!
