Cool stretching exercises if you can do it. I am still fat that these are like doing competitive gymnastics for me. But my goal is to be fit by end of the summer so I can do stuff like this. I am so serious that I even got personal trainer and personalized meal plan from Next Level Diet.
Exercises 0:54 Raising arms 1:18 Raising arms (while laying down) 2:14 C-shaped curved spine 2:29 Toes touching 3:03 Deep squating 4:13 Shoulder extention (using stick) 4:45 Shoulder extention (sitting) 5:15 Wrist exercise (extention) 5:55 Wrist exercise (flexion) This is just for me as I'll be doing these every day
is it possible to do this program and your calis program simultaneously? I'm on phase 3 of Level 1 right now. (week 12). If you think it's possible to do both then I'll get this mobility one. Really like it btw.
Yes. The routines are not that long. You can do the Mobility Training in the morning and the Level 1 Workout in the evening or just do it after the Level 1 Workout.
I'm sorry for bothering you again. I just bought the program and the layout / schedule page is amazing! I was wondering whether the strength training (Lvl 1 to 5) is rebuilt with the new format or they are still the old ones ( a pdf file). I was asking because I have lvl 1-3 with me with the old format. If there is new one similar to the mobility program would it be possible for me to transfer over? Thanks!
Your channel is heaven sent. I've always been worried about my wrists because I experience a lot of pain after only moderate strain on them, and for the longest time I've avoided strain by using fists as alternatives for push ups and similar. I never thought about strengthening and making them more mobile!
The amount of gems u guys drop is priceless, I come back to your vids anytime I literally anytime I’m struggling with anything training related, technique and form especially. Thanks always
I like how the video mentioned, "a person who just want to stay healthy and good posture, doesn't need to do the split" ... and then he does the split.
@thanksgiving It's an internet meme about Russians- "Heels to the ground, comrade found. Heels to the sky, western spy." The "Slav squat" is supposedly a comfortable resting position in Slavic nations where it's supposedly fairly common to do this where as Americans pretty much exclusively sit or stand, so we lack the flexibility to even perform the motion, let alone rest in the position for extended periods. In America it's associated with ALL Russians/Slavs whereas in Russia it seems to be associated with low-class individuals.
@@a7hazen I must say while some general observations are true, the "truth" behind them is misleading. I have a Slavic background, and I couldn't do those deep squats (sometimes called, the "gopnik" squat for association with the lower echelons or ranks of the criminal class in the early 1990s post-socialism Russia), until I practiced them for a few months doing morning stretches and Yoga. I can't put my foot behind my head though, but I surely can touch my toes. On a side note, "god" Shiva (or Siva, or Siviy = a grey-haired man), who taught the Hindus their asanas, was Ariyan and might've come from the northern steppes of the Eurasian continent -- as one piece of confirmation, read the chronicles of Mahabharata to check for the geographical locations. It is only natural to assume that those stretching exercises remained deeply ingrained in the culture and psyche of the peoples of the Eastern and Central Europe (who either received this knowledge or, who knows, might've even originated it). As an example, check for the Cossack dance "Gopak" (a martial art style in disguise) with its fancy plyometric moves, martial applications that, may I dare to say, surpass the Asian styles, and, of course, deep squats (incl. one-legged deep squat, which is also a "very low low-kick" -- check 6:40 min of this video, ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-4zBnM_uozXM.html) -- certainly not of the peasants' origin. Since the nobility, predominantly, was the warrior class -- you may call it the upper-class ability to squat with heels on the ground. The association with the low-class that you are talking about is a more recent thing (something like 100 years old). As I see it, the Americans are descendants of "slavic-ariyan expats" to Scandinavia and the British Isles who, for centuries, stopped participating in long marches. As a matter of biomechanical principle, this is just a comfortable resting position (for any person who obviously has learned it) in a situation when you can't sit on the ground (for it being cold and dump) or an arm-chair isn't available.
Great video as always! It is a great mobility program And suitable/aplicable for any level, you guys put in a great amount of effort and detail, nice job. Thanks for your attention to quality in every aspect, in the free videos and your programs. Keep it up!
This is a great video. When I was renovating my floors I noticed how bad my flexibility actually was from gaming and working in IT for so many years. I started out by simply leaning against a wall and stretching my legs flat on the floor, slowly moving up until I sit flat against the wall. I've been doing this for 2 to 3 times a day for the past 3 days now and I can already feel a difference when walking!
From someone who has been extremely inflexible his whole life reaching your level would be godly and I feel like it would feel so amazing to be Abel to stretch like that
4:27 I feel pretty good that I can hold it at a clean 90 degrees but I really want to get further up. I'm actually doing all of these every morning already, plus other things. Great stuff! Always love how informed you are.
I reached my 8th pull up target today, although it’s still 2 more weeks left before phase 3’s test week to conclude level 1 but I wanna say thank you for the awesome program. I was at 2 pull ups when I started level 1. Cant wait to start level 2 next month. Have a nice day.
I workout regularly but I hate my lack of mobility. I used to be able to do all types of tricks but as of these past few years I’ve just been sitting around a lot. I think this’ll help with regaining my mobility
Go easy trying to touch toes with straight legs. You def do NOT want to stretch your hamstring tendons near the knee and hip joints, nor do you want to round (flex) your spine. If you feel a strong unpleasant pull behind knees or near sit bones, you may need to micro-bend your legs (teachers argue about the benefit of this modification, try it and see). If you tend to put your spine into flexion, forget about taking hands towards toes. Instead, place hands on floor behind you, so that arms are close to the body, kinda like two pillars supporting your spine, keeping your lumbar spine neutral, as it is (usually) when standing. Then begin to fold upper body over legs, hinging at the hips. Keep your chest proud until you have perfected the hip hinge; it’s perfectly acceptable to have our body look like two sides of a triangle. You can engage your quadriceps as you fold which might help hamstrings to release (that’s reciprocal inhibition; I’m sure there are heaps of instructional videos here). This is not intended to disparage the great teaching of Mr Calisthenic Movement, merely to offer modifications that have been useful for me and other stiff-hipped Gaels. Just look at our national dances and you will see why we struggle!
In india, most people use this position of pooping,we don't use western style commode until necessary , so deep squatting is very easy and completely normal for us😅😅
A top video as always. Striving to be the best & inspiring as always. What people must understand about mobility is if it took you X amount of years to get into bad posture etc it's going to take you more than 10 minutes to get out of it. Every small step should be regarded as a good achievement.
@@frankfitme9770 So true and that's what I do, and it's so easy to incorporate, I sit at my desk (working from home), but now, throughout the day I get up and do stuff, anything is better than nothing but I'm particularly keen to be able to touch my toes, and get into that squat position. I also think a LOT of bodybuilding videos on YT, whilst a lot of them are great, hardly any of them ever mention the importance of stretching, and I learned the hard way about that one. Nowadays, stretching is the biggest thing I do in the gym.
why haven’t i found this video earlier, I need to make my posture better and also gain flexibility to dance better. thank u for this, u are super clear.
The amazing thing about this channel is that they show the range of what you might do and what you should do; rather than just talking about it. For visual people, this is priceless as you know what is the correct form and what to watch out for and correct. They get straight to the point, no superfluous/pretentious talking and it's very instructional. The majority of these kinds of videos online never do this. Of course, you may just want to sit back and jealously admire this guys mobility, flexibility and strength lol BTW, these exercises are basically Yoga or Pilates movements.
I reaaaallly didnt expect Xzibit to bounce towards the end of your video lol. Love this vid. Gonna improve my flexibility and mobility definitely. Im battling rotator cuff issues, dequervains, post tib, and a trigger finger due to poor posture, bad pre-lifting regimen, and poor training. This will be supplementary to me. Thank you.
Thank you for this video. I am currently 29 years old, and starting with increasing my flexibility to become stronger, have a better posture and just trying to become physical healthier. I will try some of these exercises
I use to train only in the gym, then I realised I don't feel that good only "pumping" my body. Now I'm doing also Calisthenics moves & Mobility work I feel so much better, Calisthenicmovement thanks for this AWESOME video!
@@dominik.spoljaric try a full body split for gym something like A: Squat, Bench, Barbell Rows B: Deadlift, Overhead Press, Pull Ups. (Switch up reps and sets, so you get higher intensity for your CNS and higher cardio requirements!) Combined with good mobility and some calisthenics work youre gonna become a machine and youre body is gonna feel even better!
@@dominik.spoljaric what are youre bench squat deadlift numbers? full body should be more effective unless you can lift 120/180/210 or you wanna go to the gym 6 times a week and with low intensity. in the end push pull legs works too and you need to have fun at the gym to make your session effictive so choose whats more fun.
JUST FOR MY Routine At 0:56 - 1:24 (Raise your arms) - At 2:15 (Move your SPINE) - At 3:00 (Touching Your Toes) - At 3:45 (Deep Squats) - 1st At 5:30 & 2nd At 5:58 (Wrists) *Two exercise
