Full Body Stretch with Strength (10 min. Follow Along) 

Most of you guys know The Daily Practice - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-E2SOrScNbww.html This is version 2! You'll notice the vibe is the same, opening up the body through stretches and mobility exercises that use strength! One of my favorite stretching routines here ! :) www.strengthside.com/guided

I finished cancer treatment and was given remission yesterday. I was a martial artist practising karate but had to stop. Hopefully starting again soon. I don't think I will b able to do all your strength stuff but I have done this today and man u have no idea how good it feels having not really trained for so long. This has made a 62yr old very happy. I 8ntend to keep trying your stuff. Thank you from a happy Englishman 👌👍

That felt soooooo good! 21 weeks pregnant and I know I am going to rock this home birth! Thanks again, Josh.🐱‍🏍🤰

since the end of February, i changed my diet, NO SUGAR, NO white, NO REFINED and started exercising 7 months later still going strong :)

This time has been a blessing in disguise. Im reading more, got better at basketball, more time with family, increased my flexabilty ( with help from you guys who were also discovered during this time), started practicing MMA, and changed career paths. What a year!

Can't thank you enough Strength Side. Your workout allowed my 11 yr old son and I to break up the day with some quality movement (which made it quality time). Got him off the xbox and me off the work laptop. We both finished the workout feeling good about ourselves!! Love the work you do!

"How's your day guys? " first and only instructor that's ever posed this question on a vid. it's mostly things like "hey guys, today we"re..." LOVE IT. That's a real connection. Brilliant.

i keep coming back to this routine, its the best one ive come across on the whole internet

Found you when trying to find a way to maintain my exercise routine in the absence of a gym (although I like your approach so much that I might just ditch the gym after the stay-at-home is all over). I also continue to practice yoga, stepping up the frequency now, and give more time to improving my Spanish and learning to speak French. Being nearly 70, I don't want to waste any of my remaining time.

This quarantine has given me some time to reconnect with my body in a meaningful way. I used to practice capoeira but fell off a while ago. Your content is helping me connect with that kind of movement again.

Hi Josh. Greetings from the UK. Like many here lockdown, home working and a slower pace is allowing my wife and I time to discover new ways of being, and encouraging us to care for our physical, spiritual and mental well being. This is what has led us to discover your channel and we’re loving the challenging but meditative tone of your daily work outs and stretches. Just wanted to check in and say hi, and thank you for what you’re doing. Strange how this pandemic is actually bringing people around the world closer through our isolation and allowing us and the planet to heal through this enforced shut down. My thoughts are with anyone suffering at this time.

I've been following you for a year, but this routine is my favorite. You can feel your entire body open up within a 10 min. Get Hash famous!

I am a travel nurse, so while being off, no family with me or anything your videos have helped me tremendously in developing a daily routine

I messaged you on FB to thank you for your videos! You have literally saved my bacon! I'm a homesteader, and over the winter a repeated back strain turned really bad, leaving me prone on the ground with back spasms in sub zero weather....I could barely move for a week after. I went to a doctor, and found it was just a really bad pull...he gave me a regiment of basic stretching and strength training exercises and a bottle of muscle relaxers. After a month of that, I was checking out similar exercises on youtube, and found Strength Side. I've incorporated a bunch of hip, back, and knee exercises into my own daily morning routine. About a week after, my back started getting tight and hurting again...so I backed off a little with the strength training, and kept up on the stretching.... Fast forward to this morning....it rained last night, and while outside, feeding my animals, my foot slipped a few inches in the mud (while carrying full buckets of food). This is exactly what set my back off over the winter....but today, nothing...my legs, hips and back are stronger AND more flexible...I still feel stiffness, and soreness, pretty much constantly, but it is slowly fading... Mobility isn't an issue, until you don't have it...then it seems it's everything! As such, you have been an inspiration here, and have changed my life in ways I never thought a few stretches could possibly do! Thank you!!!

And one more thing.......during the dancing frog, my leg doesn't even *almost* begin to lift off the ground, ha! But, I really appreciated your reminder that just making an attempt at such a move will engage and strengthen the body in new ways. I just discovered you and am only beginning to explore your content, but I'm excited about your holistic approach to development of the body and self.

Bro I’m obsessed with these videos, you really saving lives and making us all feel amazing

Crazy to do this follow along 3 years later. Haven’t done it in like 2 years and listening to you talk about Covid brings back a lot of memories during the lock down times. Reflecting back, your videos really changed my life. My body is totally different 3 years later. Thank you so much!!

Grateful to have found you for wonderful exercises, I am edging towards 70 and as you mention in your videos, I want mobility 🥳👣🐾🤣💕70 years of age will be inspiring, like my Dad who believed in being active, and enjoying life 😜🦋

I'm a total fan of this guy. . I love his VOs and they sync perfectly with his exercises. I do these everyday and I feel lighter. Merci from France.

Appreciate your videos. What a breadth of fresh air thank you .I got off of social media ..books .art.beach walks.meditating .soul searching i love covid.for the big break in life i needed .five years of school. Worked as a community volunteer. I needed a restart.Thank you Josh

I love this, having been a cardio junkie, I find that stretching is the most effective workout for me.

0:29 Shin box - 10 on each side 2:01 - Cat Stretch 45 - 60 sec 3:32 Frog - 20-30 sec 4:30 Extended Frog - 10 sec hold each side 6:12 Downward Dog Bounce - 8 Each Arm - 10 sec hold at the end 7:20 Forward Fold - 20 sec 8:27 Deep Lunge Knee Lift - 10 each side - 10 sec hold at the end 10:37 - Wall Chest Opener - 10 each side - 10 sec hold at the end

Again 😄 animals are not our brothers and sisters, but love your channel, very good info for staying healthy and hopefully free of injury!!! Keep up the good work 😃 Genesis, 1st chapter...to Revelation!

70 years old here, over 20 years totally raw foodist. Great video, great stretches, thanks!

Man I always feel so good after following these, I feel a real connection with my body and so much joy once I finish

Insane..those extra add-ons to the exercises that I've been doing a while have changed the game. Gives me so much more to work on, and I didn't even realize it. Cramping on both sides ;) From Italy, quarantined for some time. Love the extra time to work on my STRENGTHSIDE workouts and spend time with the family. Continued good health to you and all your Strengthside followers! Ciao!

You're such a positive and calm creature, it's feels so good watching your videos (exercising along with you) and listening to your talks. I'm very much grateful, keep it up!

OK that was just what I needed. Currently working in a nursing home doing therapy with Covid+ patients who can't swallow their food safely. It's a high stress environment but I am making the most out of it, and this has actually helped me to maintain structure (e.g. eating healthy, going to bed early, and stretching in the am). This workout is going to start my day off feelin' good. Thanks my friend!

Did some of your videos a couple of months ago and then left a tab open but didn't come back to them, until today... and now I know I will be back here more often! Quar life sure has me looking after my body more, but also feeling tensed a lot more - this felt soo good just now, and inspired me to bring in some of these movements into my yoga practice and classes too! Thank you, I feel much happier and grounded after doing some of your videos today. Tapping into the wisdom of our bodies is the truest medicine!

Even among the videos on this gem of a channel, this is a gem of a routine personally

Really love the stretching. I'm a man that builds muscle very very easily even when just doing body weight training. With your classes, I maintain a good amount of mobility as well as strength. Please don't bring the world of the Covid into this positive environment. Many thanks.

I can’t thank you enough for all of your videos. We are living through difficult, trying, scary times. As a frontline essential worker I have to be out there everyday. The stress, the strain and the uncertainty is wearing. But taking a few minutes every day to stretch out and decompress keeps me going. Stay safe. Wash your hands. Be well.

man i love this guy, i love the pace, the level, the voice, the everything. Its so my vibe and where im at rn... love u guy xx keep em coming and take my money xxxx

I enjoyed this even more than the daily practice! I'm now going to do both every day! Thanks Josh.

Thank you Josh, I am a medical doctor from Italy and I started to follow your routines when I have rest days at home. I really like the tone of your voice also when the exercise is difficult! It is really supporting and I can follow you easly. So can't wait for each new Strenght Side tutorial. Take care of you.

Hi Josh, thank you for creating this routine. I've been doing it for a couple of weeks now. It really helps me to become more flexible, not only my the body, but also in my mind. To answer your question, I'm enjoying the cocooning at home together with my wife who's pregnant and our two other children. Next to this I have been focussing on building a place online where people can share their precious memories with their family in a private and safe way which I hope to launch early next year. The pandemic has given me room to focus on trying to build something positive which I really enjoy.

Thing is here where I live, schools are still close, so my 3 kids are being homeschoold. We already spent almost all day together, sharing a lot. Now I have to teach them even how to read. It turned into my own "Aconcagua" to climb. A real trip into getting to be the best teacher and mother I can be. In the meantime I found your videos. And yesterday they began practicing some moves with me! As always...thanks so much for sharing 🙏 🎏

That felt sooo freakin good! Much needed stretch and now I can breathe deeply again! Went too long without moving my body and I’m so glad to give this to myself again ❤

I've never been one to like workouts, so this was a great way to do something without it feeling like a burden, I loved it. And that cat stretch was amazing.

2020! Crazy year but in the past couple of months I've started to piece together a daily practice with a big thanks to you. Right now , I'm in 14 days mandatory hotel quarantine in Australia, im using the opportunity to get into a routine that I know I can follow through with on the outside!

I'm doing handstand drills every day! I started with very inconsistent entry, but now I can hit it more than half of the time! I'm also working on balancing at the top!

So glad you can do these every OTHER day!

Such a blessing! for my body with underactivated glutes. Greatful for your dedication and service towards beautiful world.

I had a lamenectomy and spinal fusion a year ago. I am stiff and constantly in pain. During quarantine I am doing lots of personal development (shadow work) and healing myself physically through videos like this. Thank you Josh ❤

I have an incurable genetic illness that attacks my muscle and joint flexibility. The Strength Side videos are awesome inspiration. I can't do the exercises fully...... but it drives me on. After only 1 week I can get off my bed unaided. WOW! Thanks for keeping me real.

FINALLY!! A stretching workout that's actually fun! I'm so happy I've stumbled upon your channel, but so sad I didn't see it before... Love your moves, love your vibe. Thank you for your excellent work!

I come back to this video multiple times per week, love it. gratitude for being 'Highly Different' ~~~ ShrineDivine~~~

Hi from South Africa. You are my best discovery during Corona lock down. I am 48 and struggling with my hormonal extra pounds but your video changed my health routine and I enjoy trying and including your different movements into my yoga practice. Thank you very much for your work!

Felt so good following the stretches. You are like Lord Shiva .. 🙏☘☘

I have been fishing around with all those videos and I think you are still the best. I enjoy the voice over rather than other people huffing and puffing. I really feel like I have done a workout WITH you. Here in Australia the CV is not too bad. Good luck and stay safe and positive. See you next video

SO GLAD i found this channel during the lockdown. Give me a boost everyday. You’re a life saver man.

In Australia July 21 and in lockdown- enjoying these exercises - thank you.

Absolute bloody legend! I always feel amazing after following your routines 🌈

OMG! I am repeating some of your stretching poses for hips almost every day last month and i have just found out that I am able to do pancake pose! I cannot believe. I was not able to touch the ground with my elbows between my legs and today I can touch the ground with my forehead! I have never done this! Thank you a lot! You are amazing! It is really working! :O :O wwooooww so happy

Even though I’m a woman. I’m using my time to try and get back in shape and stay away from winter and covid blues...by watching and participating in all your videos. Thank you for your positive energy :)

Yesss. Always happy when you put out a new stretching routine. Can't imagine my day without following one of you follow along Josh. Benn doing it since November!

love the follow alongs

You are healing us.

Hey Josh, Another well done video, thanks! I am 51 and have some advancing arthritis in my left hip and low back. This morning I woke up and it was throbbing... The kind of pain that makes you not want to move it but we all know that movement is key. Anyway I did a couple of sets of this very routine and I'm telling you I can face the day now! It is the combination of lengthening with muscle contraction that makes the difference. Stretching alone WILL NOT help conditions like mine... I hope this kind of approach is found by the masses. We need it!

I appreciate the amazing routines, but I think I appreciate Josh's peaceful voice most. Thank you!

Hi Cousin Josh! I am sharing your youtube videos with my PE classes to continue while they are in quarantine! Thank you...great job! Miss you! xxoo, Cousin Tricia

My hips are feeling so free and light right now. Thats crazy!

I a 30 day breast cancer survivor. I saw your video and thought yes healthy knows and stretching. My ankle needs strength and stretching would be great to see some of those. I am a walker and a jogger. I want my health and soul to start rebuilding.

Man this Covid stuff affected us bad, right before Covid my wife had a stroke and was Diagnosed with MS when Covid hit she had gotten better started working and then I got diagnosed with ankylosis spondylitis A month ago I couldn’t even move but I changed my diet and I do your stretches every day and I’m able to move now and I’ve never been this flexible before

I’m extremely happy the universe send you to my path…You are exactly what i was looking for. Thank you 🙏 💕

I've been doing the, ' Do this morning stretch to feel good', for a couple of days. I discovered that anything low, or, full range of motion while lowering/rising is extremely hard. I was scheduled for a hip replacement before the shut-down. Now, I wonder if they are just wrong?! I told them that it was feeling like impingement, or, a torn tissue at the front of the hip. They said, never stretch a hip, or attempt any therapy...exact words.. I feel like a careful, slow program here would greatly benefit before any surgery is considered. Thanks. For everything. After, learning to walk again 2 times in this life, you have given me much hope that I can do it again. Blessings and peace to you.

This was sooo helpful. I have a shoulder that always bothers me and when I did these stretches my first time my shoulder popped and the pain I had is gone. Zero. No more.

Besides the dope stretching routine, the positive voice over made this video deserve a like

And another one!!! Thank you again for putting out another great video and inspiring messages! Doing Strength Side at least twice a day. Stay safe and healthy. Regards from Israel!

felt great!! Love the dancing frog I am definitely a lot more motivated to workout at home whereas previously my motivation only came from having a trainer at the gym. I feel more creative during this time to come up with workouts and to provide my body with activity all through the day instead of only for a certain time. I hope these habits persist into non-quarantimes.

Really enjoyed this tonight! I'm a low-level beginner (though I did a lot of dance back in college) . Very nice "vibe" and pace. You know how to make things accessible to people at different levels, while still providing meaningful movement and strength building with the stretching. I will definitely be back for more. Subscribed to your channel!

Being at home has led me back into my yoga practice seriously. From that routine I needed to build strength and happened upon your meditative strength training. It fit. It is exactly what my body needed. You're instructive style detailing exact body motions and muscles and the contracted slowness prevents injuries. It brings me into my body. Thankyou Josh. I am 68 and female and still learning.

Hello! I am really discipline yoga practitioner. I hurt my knee badly. Had surgery. In this painful 2 years time i lost all my flexibility and strength i had. But your this morning routine and stretching workout are so good. I started practicing them ,and i am doing good. It's going to take some time to get back to my old self . Thank you!!!

From Mancchester...loving it...a lot of pain released from around te body/joints....paid a lot of money over the years to varies therapies...but this has been the best...thanks,much apreciated...also taken this time to learn chess(chess.com) new comers well instructed...gets additive...also sahaja yoga....never before has the kundalini been rising on mass...we are entering golden aquarian age....old structures falling away yay

Loving this! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Josh, what do you eat for breakfast? what is your eating routine? Thanks for great videos dude. You got me off the couch.

Of of the very best stretched of my long life Josh. You're a pleasure to watch and your video is the best. Thanks.

Great routine! Felt awesome afterwards. Way more positive effects from this strange time than negative. Finding your channel is up among the top 5 best things that happened. Much thanks!

Thanks for the upload, been following for about 2 years now. During this quarantine I built a PC and started editing videos and started my own RU-vid channel. Thanks again mane, you and upright health have been essential for my improvements in general fitness and climbing!

Wow I am super proud of you for creating this video. I am an avid runner experiencing a severe pain on my left side of my left leg... I already feeling the improvement

I got came back from the gym and I was watching the 15 minute fully body follow along at the gym. Haven't exercised or even stretched in a while so I really felt the stretches. Good on you for making these videos. They're very helpful.

Wow this made me feel so good, college student who sits a lot, this is great

Excellent stretch, natural and organic. The body mechanics I like 👍. Personality fits naturally with work out.🙏🏽📖😇

all of these follow alongs are helping me recover from a frozen shoulder, mucho bueno!!

Your videos have given me a new meaning to life! Spiritually mentally and physically!

Sup josh, I discovered your videos on the 1st day of our coved-19 lockdown here in New Zealand. I have been doing the follow alongs every morning since for the last week or so and are really enjoying them. My hips have been super tight for years and lately since stopping intense sport I have neglected them far too much. I have noticed a huge improvement in hip mobility and overall looseness and strength with my body. I also enjoy the movement meditation big time. Cheers for everything and keep making awesome videos, especially the follow alongs - they're epic!! Chur brother 😀👍🏼

Just came across this and I like the fact you get right to stretch....not a lot of pre-talking.

It always feel better. I definitley feel that cat stretch, however I am ready for more but my cats fall asleep. This quarantine helps to get the body routines into daily life. So far I struggle enough just being home and try to explore new movements of the body. Videos help a lot. Thank you

Thanks for a treat. Your on the side comments are great 😀

Great stretch!!!!! Thanks!!! Bye from Greece!!!

Do you do any foam rolling. Love to see a full body foam roll or mobility video pre workout or post. Also maybe a follow along 10 minute upper body. Chest, biceps, triceps, neck and back. Thanks so much for your positivity. COVID has got me to focus on stretch and mobility.

I currently have corona virus and just found your channel. Thanks for keeping my occupied with great follow along routines while I flush this jerk out of my body!

Many thanks Josh for getting me back into stretching routines after many years of non-practice leading all sorts of pains in my 40s which are now being addressed thanks to you. Cannot thank you enough and love your content, can't wait to explore it more.

I am a dancer and all of your stuff has helped me a lot to explore my body awareness thank you so much, much love and respect.

Thank you, Josh!

My ROM has gotten better with these stretches..thanks!!

Great video, going to be using daily

The Only guy I exercise with on YT. Love you. I Aspire to be like you.

Thanks so much for what you are doing! All the Best. 🙏🙏🙏

Thanks for sharing those Amazing stretching exercices !!!! Love From Belgia
