20 Minute Beginner Flexibility Routine V2! (FOLLOW ALONG) 

Every time I watch Tom's videos I felt so calm and I don't even know why. The world's a better place with your videos in it

When you're so inflexible that sitting on your knees alone already feels like you're doing some advanced type of stretch 😅 Just a little update: I've been lifting and stretching right after 3x a week for 1 month straight and can now sit on my knees without issue among numerous other things that gave me trouble or discomfort before 👍

I've been doing your 15 minute routine three times a week for the last year, and it's made a huge difference to my life. The lat stretches in particular. My only complaint about that routine was that aside from the neck and lat stretches, the rest of the upper body stretches didn't really "do it" for me. This new routine's upper body stretches are far more helpful for me. But I found that the lower body stretches didn't feel as effective as those from the older routine. So I think that I will alternate routines to start with, and might create a combined routine out of both of them, so that both my upper and lower body get a good stretch in a single routine. Thank you for doing these videos. They've really helped me!

Four of us over 60 girls have been doing this and love the feel. Thank you for the calm, clear, specific directions. Felt amazing!

Hey man, your routines have literally changed my life. I've been having less headaches and neck soreness since I started following you and following your guidance. Thanks for the awesome job!

Im 14 yrs old and you really helped me with your Videos!! I was always overweight and couldnt move much but now I feel so much better. Doing your routines every morning in the sunrise!

Yessss! Been waiting on a part 2.. I wore out the first one... Pretty sure I'm like 10k of those views... lol Keep up the good work!

me: lets get ready to stretch! My body that isn't even out of the 20s yet getting onto the floor: * both knees pop, hip crack, spine crack, ankle crack* xD

i have done this routine a lot of times and i just did it and never realized how relaxing this routine can be. Love it

This routine is awesome. I’ve been doing it since you released it , I try to do it everyday if not every other. I was diagnosed with bursitis in my hips and the pain was unreal . I didn’t want to have injections so I started searching and found your channel many years ago, I started doing volume 1 and other hip routines you have but this is my favourite and is a good variety of stretches and has totally changed my life , I would say my hips feel 95% better than they were . I’m a truck driver so just sitting was painful.I have been doing this for years now and just wanted to say thanks 👍

I love the way he is like "10 seconds keep going" while looking at the camera as if he knows you've already said screw this! Great video really enjoying it

The music just fit's perfectly with your Voice, it is so relaxing.

Have been doing this routine for two weeks now and my body has really been appreciating the self care. Thanks so much!

"You can turn around, I'm just gonna flip around so you can see me" hah, we can't see if we don't flip too.

I have been watching your stretching videos every week almost for the entirety of 2019, I couldnt reach my feet in a simple pike and now I can do that and a little bit more. I feel really proud of myself and I really adore your work and wish to someday be as flexible as you are. Much love my man!

Bro, Thank you very much for these videos. I'm a 34 year old tradie that has hands down to my knees and couldn't touch the ground with straight legs. I've been doing these everyday after work for the last five weeks now and my flexibility is ten fold better than it was. I can now touch my feet and have the goal to be able to pancake by the end of the year! Thanks again and keep these 20 minute routines coming!! #bodyweightwarrior ✊🏽

hey man been watching for a couple of weeks now and I loveit. Dont change it. Keep the chill vibe, love your positive attitude also, its nice to see a relaxing vid like this from all the chaos thats happening around the world.

ive used this video roughly 15 times and now i am able to reach under my feet. im 30 years old and never in my life was able to touch my toes. thanks sir great content. i am now waiting for v3, v4, and v5.

The first routine felt more beneficial. I found with this one, I wasn't sure how to position my body. Should I keep my back straight? What is my focus on? Some moves a beginner really can't do, so how should I position my body without injury?

This is my first time ever stretching for flexibility and I got to the end and I couldn't believe it went in so quick - I've always hated stretching but I loved this! Thank you so much, I'm actually excited to see how this goes over the next few weeks! Much appreciation from a very inflexible person :)

Due to Corona I have to stay at home, the gyms are closed..so I started working on my mobility. Your routines are really helpful. I already feel an improvement. So when the gyms are open again, my workouts will hopefully be better :D So thanks a lot.

Mum and I are following you during self-iso - you're incredible and we're thoroughly enjoying learning your technique.

Hi Tom, I am a 70 year old lady who has been diagnosed with a Bakers Cyst and hip bursitis, very painful! Started doing your 20 min stretch class about a month ago, every day, and love it. The pain is barely noticeable now. Thank you. Sue, Sydney

1st day and OMG my iliopsoas muscle area is extremely tight. Had a child 6 years ago and my body is not the same. Will continue doing this.

Stretching is overlooked way too often in my opinion. Working on on my flexibility on a daily basis has probably been one of the most helpful things I've ever done. My body feels a lot "healthier" and my performance in exercises is also a lot better, especially in Calisthenics! Plus, it's almost a kind of "meditation" for me and a nice way to build a better "connection" with your body :)

Much prefer the original 15 minute beginner stretch routine. Feels a lot more fluid to me and it doesn't have that cheesy background music. That being said thanks for all your other awesome videos.

I’m having trouble reaching past my knees in the pike position at the end but I’m determined to keep at this so I can touch my toes :)

Love these follow along video! Great instruction. I love how I can follow along without having to always look at the screen to see what your doing because you explain it so well. Also your vocal tone is soothing.

My hips have been hurting for a while now but idk why exactly. Doing these videos give me some sort of relief though so I'm thankful

20-minute routine for beginners to begin in 2020.

Recently turned 70. I'm a guy who wants to see how guys move in yoga. Tom is great. My goal is to maintain/improve flexibility, posture, balance and strength. I'll continue with Tom as he seems to address all my goals. Thanks, Tom!

Thank you Tom!! Before I suffered from tightness all over my body, my legs and back especially. In under 2 weeks, I can actually touch my toes in the pike position! I'm so happy!!

Have only just discovered this channel. Enjoying it because at 65 it is really necessary to stay flexible.

Thanks bro. Really needed that after going out on my bike this morning. Little tip, tell us what we need before you start the routine please, so we don't have to run to get it. I know we can pause it but it's cool to just keep up with the videos with no breaks. Thanks been a fan for a while, and I really appreciate your content

Been doing this one and a couple others to help stretch every day during Covid-19! It's been a great way to start my days:)

I've started stretching about a month ago, I always believed that I was just inflexible and nothing can fix that. but comparing my progress with my friends, I'm flexible as heck! absolutely incredible! Also, Tom is so sweet and his voice is so cozy - makes it even more fun to do every day.

I don’t know what I’d do without Tom’s stretch videos. I’m so stiff in the mornings, and then I do one of the videos and I feel 100% better! Thanks so much Tom!

WOW just did this for the first time and I enjoyed it so much that when you said "as we're ending this" I thought "no way, we're only 10min into this" ! Loved it. Thank you

I'm a 51 year old man. Thanks very helpful. Body feels better. I will try to do these stretches very morning.

Love your beginner stretches. They are the first beginner ones that actually feel like beginner level. I started do your 15 min one after my strength gth training this past week and today for a rest day I decided to hit a longer video. Already seeing a little improvement but I have a LONG way to go

At 67 your videos are a life saver, I swim and bike and the stretching is outstanding👍

Most people just try to make these as fast and convenient as possible. I appreciate that you take the time to hold stretches for 30-40 seconds.

im pretty sure i had heisuten's "Slime" playlist ON....why is this video in this playlist ??? XD XD XD

Awesome beginner routine for those stuck at home on the couch. This really helped. Thank you Tom for your excellent contribution! 💪🏻

After a 5 months recovery of mayor surgery this videos gave my strength and mobility in two weeks!, I love it no harm best week to start a routine

Nice flexibility routine but not quite challenging,I really like the 15 min flexibility routine for beginner much more , I just wanted to get you my personal feedback apart from that your channel is really good,the quality of content,filming,info is just magnificent,keep it 🆙

Recommendation: Point to the areas where we should be feeling the stretch. You did that in the first version and that helped in following along and making sure that we were doing it correctly. Thanks for these amazing vidoes.

Thank you, I have tried versions 1, 2, 3 and the runners stretch. I like this one the best. I am a 62 year old who has just started, 4 weeks, a mix of your stretching and some beginners yoga. I'm trying.

I thought the version 1 was already good, but this is on to another level. Every twist and turn, something cracks or stretches. Overall very nice routine.

i convinced my 62 year old mother to workout and stretch together. we are only doing it the second time and already feel a bit less tense! thank you for a beginner friendly routine - this can be followed at any age

I have been doing your routines twice a day now for a few days. It just makes my whole body feel better. I dont have to ready and adjust myself when I'm getting up and down near as much throughout the day.

5 days into this stretch routine and it has been a great morning wake up for me while being quarantined.

I have lupus which means I get joint pain and stiffness. Thanks to you I am able to recover from my last flareup. Thank you!

I tried the V1 and it helped me so much. I couldn't touch my toe and just after trying V1 for 3 weeks, I could finally touch my toe and hold that position. And now I'm doing the V2. Thank you Tom

Just starting and been doing this 4 days straight... just awesome pure gangsta💥‼️💯🤘

Thank you so much for putting out the videos that you do! I started this routine almost a month ago now and some of the chronic muscle pain I've dealt with for several years is gone! I have also gained a large amount of flexibility, keep up the amazing work Tom!

I’ve been going to AQUACIZE for my 74-ye old body, but getting up early has been proving prohibitive. I just did this Yoga for flexibility and feel GREAT! I do believe ‘flexible body, flexible mind’. And as Stanley Keleman put it: “For every constriction in the body, there is a corresponding stiffness in the brain”.

I’m on day 3 of a thirty day challenge. I’m already starting to feel better, sleep better, and I have less pain. I’m looking forward to this 30 day commitment. Thanks for sharing this routine

Chronic pain in my left side. Stopped stretching a while back and it got bad again. Starting again with your routines daily has done wonders. Thank you.

Just finished week 2 of doing at least one beginner follow-along each day. Goal is to touch my toes in the year 2021. Will keep you updated! Thank you for these.

This video is even more useful at home in 2021 in lockdown at home in Montréal, and in a desk chair all day - love it, thank you. Also: would love to see a half-hour workout almost as low-impact as this, with the stretches, but also some strength elements. Thanks for all you do!

Badly injured my knee over the years. Around 5 or so dislocations. My flexibility has taken a real hit because of it not that it was brilliant before.I'll admit that my pike is shockingly bad but these videos are definitely helping and have made me more aware of how importantant flexibility is when it comes to injury prevention.

I like these as he gives you time to get into the pose. So many others go so quickly from 1 to the next and if you are infexible, you just can't do it that quickly!

Tom, I've started my strength & mobility journey for the past 2 weeks by waking up early every morning with a cup of coffee and jumping right into the Body Weight Warrior Channel. Your videos have helped me stretch properly, gain strength, and stay motivated. Also, I love the super chill music! I'm dreading that pancake stretch at the moment but I'm sure i'll eventually get there.

Also, might I ask Tom that you throw more back stretches in? Especially for the lats, this calisthenics work does a number on them lol.

I like your slow static stretch. The background music is also very relaxing, not obtrusive at all.

I started this over a year ago the day I retired. (I couldn’t take to leotard yelling teens) I have been doing it every day since then and see and feel a vast improvement. I also spend part of my retired life on a boat in Greece and can guarantee one of the best places to do these stretches is on the deck of a boat watching the fish jump. Thank you

I've started stretches to improve flexibility and eventually achieve the splits for about a month now. This was very helpful and will be incorporating these stretches into my everyday routine. Thank you ^_^

Just started using your routine before skiing. Already noticed huge improvements in both flexibility and skiing technique. Cheers!

I keep going back to your videos every time i feel stiff. I have a crooked spine (in more ways than one) and these stretches always bring me relief. Thanks!

Loved it. I have no flexibility. I have done yoga but felt uncomfortable as I could not do the poses and the instructor kept pestering me about it. I have tried videos on you tube but your stretches are the only ones I can actually do and enjoy while feeling the stretch in the right areas of my body vs on the wrong parts and spending all the time just trying to get the right stretch.

just started doing your 15-25 minute stretching videos and have realized how tight everything is. im alternating videos daily 6 days a week and love how relaxing your videos are and very good stretches. cant wait to see some improvement in myself.

58 and very inflexible. Tried yoga on and off with small gains. Trying this about 5 times a week to make some progress. While I don’t feel like I have great gains in flexibility, way too soon to expect that, I do feel less creaky on a morning. That for me is pretty huge in a short time! Once I feel I have this under my belt I will move on to more challenging routines. Thanks for giving me what feels like a method that works for me!

Volume 1 and particularly 2 and 3 for me are hidden gem from the internet.

I’m really enjoying these workouts with Tom.

I have been doing this and the earlier version for nearly 10 days and I have notice a huge improvement in my hips and shoulders and it has made my other exercise (pilates, swimming, moderate cardio) more effective in my range of movement. I have bookmarked the QL stretch, hip mobility and ankle mobility videos and did the ankle one today. The broomstick myofascial release was amazing, I actually did that again later on because it really has freed up the back of my legs all the way down and my hips feel happier. I am nowhere near a pancake yet but I am hopeful for a full pike within a month. Thank you so much for a no nonsense approach, this is so easy to fit in to a workout

I have just discovered you and wow what a discovery. I am an aerialist and these beginners routines are fantastic. I find with aerial I build a lot of strength but lose flexibility along the way. So while I have time I am working on my flexibility to see how much it helps. I can feel the difference already. Thank you for your clear instructions. It's nice to follow a routine that's calm and worthwhile rather than some of the others I've looked at with girls bouncing around and showing off. 🙏

also i like how you do a more intense stretch followed by a less intense stretch. your routine does not torture me the whole time so i find this very enjoyable to do over and over again.

Thanjs for that. I am so unflexible its untrue, nearly 40 and really want to work on it so ill be doing this daily from now on... Much appreciated. Great Video.

I am a 50 yr old woman and have just started your videos. I have done the 1st and today ( a week later) am on vid2. I would love some more stretches for back of the neck and back of thighs. Great videos. My BFF and i do them thru ZOOM lol

7 days in to mixing up these beginners sessions... knees cracking, lovely stuff ☺️

I've always been stiff and after two knee ops found my flexibility suffer even more, however following your routine has really helped, not to mention practicing mindfulness. Thank you

just started doing this as 53 year old with flexibility of a railway sleeper.....so effective,,

thank you so much... i've seen a lot of improvement in two weeks with just 20mins of this, from monday to friday, everytime after my main workout.

This is exactly what my body needed after sitting at the desk all day. Thank-you

Tom Thanks for your great videos. 🧎‍♂️ I'm 71 years old and try to do one of your flexibility routine daily,🧓 for over a year now.

Man, I've had knots in my back for days. To the point it was hard to breathe at times and I was rolling on my back for days but nothing was helping. Thanks so much for explaining where you should be pushing and for showing alternative positions as well.

I started doing the first version of this after I had mono for almost two months and I needed to get my body moving again. It was really helpful. I still do the first version and honestly I've being doing it for like a year!!! This one is awesome too! Thank you!

Have been practicing the previous edition for the past 2 months.. happy to try this one out! Thanks Tom🧘

Great little update to shake it up a bit. Definitely benefiting from this. I work construction and haven't been putting time back into myself so this is a life saver.

Lovely mobility excercises. One of my favorites was the lying down and pulling the bow back.

These videos are fantastic. Flexibility and movement used to be so easy and natural. But now I have to be intentional about them. Thank you Tom for this video and the others; they’re simple, not fussy. Thank you!

I spend every morning with Tom.

I just started to dance Vogue Fem and your part 1 helped me a lot. So thanks for the new one :)

Your routines are so good. Thank you very much for keep going with these routines

you're the best tom! love your follow alongs. i wish there was a no music option on some of them 🥰

Nice Bruhv 😀🙏

Hey. Don't know if you'll see this but I train muay thai 6 days a week, I've always overcome soreness by powering through it. These stretches have really helped me. Do them after every training session. I feel a looser in training and far more flexible with my kicks. Thanks a ton

I do a lot of cycling, which causes my leg muscles to shorten and become tight. Even though I initially struggled to do do this routine properly, having done it a few times now, it has made a huge improvement on my flexibility and loosening my leg muscles 👍

started with V1 for about 2 months or so and now I'm doing this one (V2) and in a few months once these feel normal I will start trying some of the next sets of follow alongs. It is great every day before bed I run through the routine and its working I am now able to touch my toes without bending my knees and that hasn't been something I could do for a long time. I do have one note Tom you have never had a belly pouch that rearranges your organs when laying face down and it shows 😂, I have to pause the video between the quad stretches and the hip flexors so my organs can resettle in their appropriate places 😂. 100% recommend these routines to friends who are looking for something to get them more flexible.
