Full Body Stretching with Strength (10 Min. Follow Along) 

Hey Strength Side, Fam 🤙Feel free to share a little about yourself in the comments - We couldn't have made it this far without all of you! Let us know how you're feeling after this follow-along routine and be sure to tune in next week for a new follow-along routine. As always 🙏

I’m a 60 year old grandma. As I work outside in a daycare center you have helped me see the world as my gym.

64 years old and getting fitter. Thank you for the 10 minute stretch and strength, just what I needed.

I'm a 37 year old mom of 4 and I just found strength side. I have an autoimmune condition that is affecting my mobility and joints, so I am in love with finding ways to wake them up!

Hi Strength Side, I recently found your channel and at 64, I really appreciate your vids. Made me realize again how important good stretching is. I’ve always known this, but honestly got lazy but now that I’m getting older, I’ve definitely become a big fan of your work. Thank you for your energy and time. Peace

I appreciate your patience and modifications for the less flexible of us. Thanks for the inspiration

A month ago my Blood pressure was hyper tension level 165/90...3 high readings in a week...doc wanted to start meds. Instead I proposed, I start walking every day, eating oatmeal, salads, and less sugar. Today, I stopped at the clinic and BP was 120/65. Yesterday 112/73...so I won't have to start taking medicine as long as I continue walking! Yaay! I can't wait to add this routine!

Oh my goodness! I found your channel about 1 week ago and got right down to the movements. In one week major pain in my body is gone, and I am moving my body in ways that I haven’t in many years. I am just so grateful for you guys. Thank you so much. I have hope again that I can regain my vitality.❤

I love how your teachings are for all ages . This routine is a 'human body'' routine meaning the difference between a 10 yr old and a 90 yr old would be simply the ease of doing. If stiffer/weaker/poor balance etc this is not just age related, it would be applicable to being overweight, to having not exercised or played for years, to being sensitive to something you are intaking that is irritating your body, to just a 'can't do it's mindset. Thank-you for your caring offer to us. Clearly a million followers means we are getting it. And then for those ready to advance movements you offer those also

One of the best follow along stretches I've done. What an amazing voice! It really connects. Thank you very much for sharing this with us.

My gf broke up with me 2 months ago. She even hate me right now. I broken, and can't free my mind. Stretching is actually helping a lot. Thx

Hey Josh, Trevor & Strength Side folks. You guys rock. I’m 68, mostly retire massage therapist, homesteader, gardener, artist… I often recommend your video’s to my clients. I love how the stretching and animal moves are so beginner and can be so advanced. ❤. Congrats on your success (well earned)

Recovering from several recent injuries and surgeries. Thank you helping me gain mobility! Feeling better than normal again and am now brave enough to keep moving and getting stronger!

Awesome stretches!!! Very calm and smooth…. Never done serious stretches before… And I’m about to be 60… This is new routine for morning and evening!!!

Some fresh air, bright sun light and an awesome strenthside routine is all you need to start amazingly into your day!

Added ten minute stretch to my daily rotating routines, what a benefit. Strength Side makes up a large percentage of all my routines. Thanks soo much, It's what keeps me going.

I've been doing the daily practice for about 2 years now and stayed injury free through my weight lifting. Thanks mates.

I've been practicing yoga, pilates, feldenkrais and other movement modalities since I was a teen. For the last 25 years, moving my body has helped me tremendously work my way out of eating disorders, depression, codependent relationships, professional failures and mental breakdowns. Thank you for all the knowledge and inspiring videos you share ❤🤗 Your channel is one of my favorite ones and I loooooove your follow-alongs 😍

It was 2020 in March that I found Strength Side on RU-vid. Because the gym and swim shut down with Covid. I did not realize you had been on youtube for 8 years. But back then I went to yoga classes. Did my routine at the gym. And went length swimming. I was panic stricken with the closures. Was never good with home routines. But Strenth Side brought me outside and inside on my yoga mat and taught me strength without the gym and better than yoga stretches with strength at home. I felt renewed and was excited to do your follow alongs. I climbed a tree, walked over and along a log. Things I had not done since a kid. I started playing on the playground equipment in the park. I stretched muscles I had not stretched although I thought my body was stretched and limber. Heck now I even hang from doors...just hang. Of course you'd get a million followers. You showed us a new way. We just had to get out of the gym long enough to discover strength side. I went back to my gym when gyms opened. Got covid before a month was out doing the gym. Back to my outdoor and indoor Strength Side routine. And one more thing. You mentioned WimHof and I checked him out on youtube...way back in 2020. I started his breathwork cold showers and ice baths playing in the snow dipping in the cold creek all winter. Yep. You changed my life. I would not have been brave enough to dip in ice water outdoors if you had not taught me to workout and play outdoors. Thankyou. Thankyou thankyou.

Thank YOU!! Fantastic channel. I'll be 50 in a few years and there are many things I picked up from your videos. I have Frankenstein'd my own sort of thing with a combination of your information, my physical therapy practices for my injured areas, and my own athletic goals.

Over 2 years from lumbar fusion surgery & osteomyelitis I have gone from a healthy and fit 77 year old guy to one feeling more like 90. Your videos are always refreshing and motivating. I particularly like this “easy” stretch routine and will use it daily. Thanks for all you, Trevor and others do.

Thanks so much for sharing this short routine targeting all parts of the body. Yes, sometimes 10 mins is all we have. No more excuses. ❤️👍🙏

Love this quick full body routine. I help busy professionals get to the root cause of their health issues and struggles. I share these videos with so many of them.

Swim coach here. Not only do I follow along and learn so much from your videos, I am able to take the knowledge and the information that I’ve gained from Strength Side and apply it to my athletes. Stretching, calisthenics, bodyweight work is called “dryland “in the world of swimming. There’s a positive effect on athletes that spend 30 to 40 minutes doing dryland and then getting in the pool after. So all the good stuff that your channel presents allows me spread the knowledge. Everyone is benefiting. Thank you!

Great routine to open up the body in the morning. Thanks Josh and congrats on 1 mil!!

Hey guys! I'm a 61 yo youngster who totally digs your follow along routines! I stay out of gyms (just not my scene), and have all I need at home and in nature to do what needs to be done in staying fit and healthy. I SO appreciate having you fellas to guide me along! ~Peace~

I’m grateful I found you guys! I’m 58 yrs old and 6 months into recovery from heart surgery. I’ve always been active but never as fit as I’d like. I’ve got a new lease on life and I’m going to make the most of it! I’m grateful for finding your videos and for your help reaching my goals of going from fit in my 50’s to strong in my sixties! Thanks for your easy to follow and inspiring videos! ✌️🫶🤙

Hi there, I have been following you from Holland for a couple of years now, my twenty year old son is a skater and I had him come over to my house to go thru your moves on my carpet, to teach him. He follows you too. I am a fifty year old woman and I currently follow your routines each morning. Your excellent slow and well scripted guidance together with your lovely deep voice, the passages from the books, and the amazing effect it has on my body! All make your channel most well loved and appreciated. When I tell my students I get up at five thirty each day before school to do stretching AND when they find out my age from their classmates they cannot believe it lol. Your routines are of very high quality. Next to that I do some qui gong, some Wim Hof style stuff and then a small number of push ups. In the summer I hike the Alps crossing about 100km per week, or walk on the rocks in Norway. It's a great life and you are part of it. Thank you very much!

Just found this beginner stretch. I’ve been doing another 15 min beginner stretch and will incorporate yours into my routine. I like your calm manner. Thank you!

Just lovely to do this! Easy on the mind and body - I am a 74yr female and have a false knee, cartelege out at 21! and metal in my wrist from old compound fracture mountain biking accident. have had FIA and then hip popping - working on that; but i always come back to you for my strength and stretch training. Love your wonderful routines.

Hi, I have started this this morning after two years off after an injury. Loved it

Congrats! Your impact on our health is a very important mission.

Your videos are always such a highlight of my day ! Good vibes and feeling good with these exercise. Congrats to the 1,000,000 !!!! Hope you keep on doing what you're doing

I absolutely loved doing these stretches this morning! I have been following your channel for about a month now. I’m a horse back rider and I have had two children so I have lots of hip mobility struggles. The way you present the movements and walk through them has been so accessible for me. Thanks for doing what you do ✌🏻

The best that happened during the pandemic was discovering your channel. As the gym was closed, I discovered how little of it I needed.

Hi strength side recent,y found your vids I’m 67 and started some your stretch routines feeling much better allready.Great Videos I’m hooked.Uk Based oldie 👌👌👌

I’ve come across this page several times in recent months. I am in a yoga class two times a week and was looking for something to do for a third day. This morning (the third day) I came across this routine and loved it. Thanks for sharing!

Yall are earth angels fr 🙏💪❤

Have been using this morning and night for almost a week now. Feel so much better for it! Thanks Strengthside 🙏🏻🤗🇦🇺

First time trying this routine. It’s going to getting used to but it’s amazing how these little movements go a long way

This was such a great and helpful video, I try to periodically start my morning with one of your videos as part of my healthy back routine. Thank you!

Despite working out for years my mobility is terrible so I decided to follow this daily now, summer resolution, Thank you for the help!

67 yo woman here, severe arthritis in both hands and feet. Therefore I can’t pass a day without flexibility training and / or muscle training. These stretches are soooo good! I put the video on 0,75 speed to be able to hold every stretch longer 😝 You talk a bit funny then, but I don’t mind at all! Thanks so much for your work! 🥰😘

The first 1m is the hardest as they say. Grateful for your content and the consistency. The joy at what you’re doing in the video really comes through.

Congratulations on this big milestone, well deserved! I am very grateful for discovering your channel, through your content you helped me and some of my family members change their physical (and also spiritual and mental practice) for the better. I love every second of my daily practices, which are for the most part shaped and inspired by your content. I also remember these videos you made a few years ago where you would discuss topics as Intermittent Fasting, All that Matters is Now (was impactful for me) and when you were baking pots with your brother philosophizing🤣 On to the next milestone! Greetings from The Netherlands

I started becoming stiff at 18 thinking I had to give up all exercise because I thought it was health issues. and now I’m 22. Four years of moving along with your videos and I’ve been healthier and looser than ever. I can exercise again!!

i’m 23 and already experiencing daily back pain. been doing this routine for less than a week and have already been feeling so much better

Congratulations! I love your routines and videos! I have been watching and stretching with high school athletes!

You desrve every single one of those subs Josh much love and appreciation from bolivia 🤸

These exercises helped reduce the soreness of my hip flexors! Thank you!

62 just recently found you. I'm trying to incorperate your fantastic routines and fight off Mr.D. Thanks for the info!

I have huge issues with my shoulders, so much all the therapy and doctor visits went so far that my orthopedic doc was like "I guess we have to surgically remove the bursa" and i was like hell no, im 30 not 70 there should be a way to fix this. Kinda spiraled down afterwards not doing much exercises for it anymore. I rly like the routine and im doing this again every day now and f me if i don't. Keep going man one of the rare fitness channels that are watchable and actually good without bullshit, wrong informations or 10 hour sponsoring in them. Keep grinding

Yesterday, for the first time, I followed exercises just by your voice - I don't need anymore to pause the video and watch what is going on. Your guidance is perfect. Thank you! :)

I just tried this for the first time and love it! I am going to spend the next 21 days for the rest of August and see how much I get out of this! I will check back in in 21 days!

Thank you so much dealing with a lot of pain in my adductor and this stretching helps thank you!

Congrats on the 1 million!!!

I'm in an online fitness challenge, and was looking for a 10-minute flexibility video. When this said flexibility and strength, I snatched it up! Looking forward to whatever you have next.

Dude this was great. I’ve lost 100lbs. And something I’ve neglected is stretching. I have a sit desk job and not much range of motion before my workouts. This has been so helpful

I just found your channel tonight. Thank you for the help! I’m 33 and love staying active. Living out in the Vegas desert area and needed this tonight!

So gratefull for all the inspiration you guys give me, my excercise routine was beginning to feel stale until I remember how playful your videos are and after a few days i feel invigirated again and ready to be playful in my movements again. So thanks so much

I have two hip replacements and your videos are very helpful and challenging but in a gentle way , your teaching style is is soothing easy to follow thank you 🙏

Congrats....you deserve all youve earned...64 y/o here ...glad i found you

Fan of yours for many years keep it up

Such an incredible routine! Everything i was looking for my morning's 😍 Thank you guys again for a great routine and lovely narration as always ❤️

Thanks so much for this short sweet routine. Yes, 10 mins a day that is all. I teach yoga so all these stretches are in each of my classes. ❤️

I am pretty new to those stretches and in my middle age and have to say I am impressive how much all those movements can help to make my body more flexible, thank you for such a great videos, love you guys 😊

You guys have the best stretching videos love your stuff ❤

I've been following you for a couple of years. I'm a retired powerlifter. So, I'm still pretty stiff. But, you and your bud Arron have changed my on perspective on so many things! You deserve the 1,000,000.

So glad I came across Strength Side. So much out there but this resonates...so good to follow and after a couple days I'm stoked! Curtis...just turned 50 and want to get my flexibility and fitness back!

I’ve recently made a decision to embark on a career journey that is sedentary for about 8 hours of the day. I get 1 hour for lunch to incorporate movement & stretching. And two 15 minute breaks to squat plank, maybe have some lunch at some point. I’m hyper aware of what lethargy can do to your body. I’ve lost about 70 lbs since the pandemic and at 32 I am the most physically fit I’ve ever been. Since I started lifting 3-4 times a week instead of 5-6, and being intentional with about 10,000 steps and yoga on non lifting days; my body has changed more rapidly. I cut out alcohol and enjoy cooking all of my meals. I am still struggling with sleep and I think it’s because I have not made the choice to get on a specific sleep schedule and put my phone down. But there’s supliments to help like magnesium and calcium stress reducers along with apple cider vinegar and maybe a relaxing tincture. Crazy thing is I still feel like that 260 pound insecure person. I deal with the same fears and feelings of inadequacy and shame. I’ve coped through sexual and substance addiction because of the models of dis function and childhood trauma I grew up around, not had any guidance from parental figures; narcissistic & emotionally unevolved. I thought that my body would help me feel better. And I do feel a lot better in a physical sense. But health is so much deeper than just feeling physically healthy. I’m still developing where my calling is, I feel like with the experience I have with a physical therapy, yoga & resistance training, walking/hiking it’s a skill set that is essential to the human race and despite the emptiness I feel and the heartbreak I’ve put myself through I wake up grateful that I can walk, run, stretch, breath. It’s a blessing. Thank you for this RU-vid channel man. I think some people just like to check this sort of stuff of their daily task list which is amazing and kudos but It’s really something that gives back to you. Something that is absolute and that will not fail you if you feed it. Thanks for all the info and knowledge!

The GOAT of quick nourishing routinens!!!

I was heavily addicted to heroin, meth, and Xanax for 20 years. Today I'm 2 years and 5 months clean and sober. I mountain bike, rock climb, golf, and workout daily. Your stretch routines are a daily staple that keep me feeling lose and limber and has amazingly increased my rock climbing ability. I really appreciate you and your laid back attidue and videos. Thanks Josh! My name is Ohio shot me a message if you wanna hear more

Congratulations on your million subscribers! You have changed my life and I am deeply grateful! Continued good luck! Thanks again. D

Hello, I am new to your channel, but generally rather "old" (soon 62) and I love this routine and other stuff too! The story of my life is upside down including a complicated leg fracture with two surgeries. All my sport activities have been interrupted and/or slowed down. So, this routine is likely to help me come back and resume a regular training on a daily basis, which also is more and more important at my age to stay healthy and happy. I have begun today and commit to stay with it every day morning about 20 days before building in more. Thanks for you input. 🙏💪🙂

CONGRATULATIONS 1,000,000 SUBS! -San Francisco fan girl

I’m 51 and just started doing your videos before going to CrossFit. Love them so far!!

ive been watching your vids since 2018 and im so happy for your 1m milestone! mostly seen josh but thank you both for the work and guidance. more success to you!

Thank you, that really woke me spirit up today. going to go for a nice walk now

Lovely As always...........

Congrats on the 1 million subscribers

Hello! This routine adds to the one my physiotherapist made for me, which gives me confidence in you AND her! I came here as Chase Mountains mentioned your influence on him. I have just completed Brian Johnson's Heroic / Optimizing coaching course and was challenged by it to try a Spartan race. That lead to getting this 59-year-old chair jockey on a path to healthy feet, hips, and grip strength. Now I want to transition to more outdoor, playful movement and your videos look inviting. Thank you so much for what you do.

Love it man. I was a gym bro who also sits at a desk and draws a lot. Then I hurt my shoulder, so I was trying to be good by just focusing on cardio. So I biked a lot. Too much. Sitting down and biking hard for an hour+, just to sit down and tap at a keyboard or lean forward to draw really created some imbalances that I'm working on fixing. Thanks for the routine, feels great!

This was an excellent routine and will definitely add this to my workouts

Congratulations on the 1million subscribe milestone! Gotta say though, I would have totally done that routine in the kush green grass behind . There is something so natural about training on grass barefoot.

I’ve been visiting this video every morning this week to start my day off before getting ready for work, I sit a lot because I drive all over the state for work.

Poetry in motion must have been coined for the Hash brothers. Josh your fluidity and strength of movement are awe inspiring. Thank you

Hi, today I did this sesion. It was so relaxing. Thank you .

Greetings from Serbia. I am very happy because of your existence on RU-vid. I wish you the best of luck in your future work. Otherwise this video is one of the best on the internet. I regularly follow you and train with you.

Thank you! I feel very good during and after the exercises! And beautiful views 😻 thanks again crack Looking forward for after-work follow along routines! Kisses from Buenos Aires

Thank you for your vids Bruds. i am 53 yrs old still trying to recover from multiple injuries. You inspire mi to live young again and do all those things i loved when i was younger. Jah Bless🙏💚🙏

Hello, love the combination of slow pace but strength building stretching.I am a gardeniner and want to build flex ability and strength to support my job. Thanks

Thanks for the inspiration, I am 60+ from Toronto and appreciate the good works.

Great routine! I did it after work despite feeling tired. Great channel sir!

This is my first time doing this and I would always follow one video on stretching so doing this for the first time was euphoric. I feel amazing thank you. 2 month edit: still been doing this and my body has never been so flexible. Tho on the 4th exercise I just hang off my bar instead of doing that but it’s amazing how much this has worked for me, thank you

Great routine! Wherever you are it is beautiful!

That stretch was great! I can’t believe that was ten minutes. Thanks for that! I started to take fitness a lot more seriously at the start of COVID and your channel is one of a few that I have found practical and helpful. Congrats on the million!

Hi, I just recently found your channel. March 3rd made 9 years since I tripped and fell backwards on the sidewalk at my sister's house. I fractured L-1 & had 5 herniated discs in my low back. I've been thru 2 low back surgeries, lots of physical therapy, various meds, and am in constant pain every day. I've been working from home for 4 years thanks to COVID-19 and been sitting a lot at my desk working on the computer 8-10 hours per day. I do get up to move around every couple of hours but still find my back in constant pain. I got off the pain meds and muscle relaxers and just DEAL with the pain 24/7. I'm going through depression because as much as I don't want to accept this way of life, I don't foresee any relief. I'm going to start slowly with the stretches you recommend and build up to full stretches. You are very inspiring and giving me hope. Thank you! Congratulations on your 1 Million subscribers. 👏👏👏

Thanks for giving me the confidence to do sports again. I got neuropathy in my feet 20 years ago losing most of the feeling in my feet from the balls forward. Your videos have helped me feel reconnected to the ground. Even if I can’t feel the feet I have learned to trust they are there and will suppport me during sports and working out. Thank you

Thank you for your inspiring and I have a hip replacment and I am getting step bt step flexibel doing hip friendly strechting is really amazing .I have modern hips replacment and see every day it is getting better with strechting ..thank you so much

@stretch side, this routine is incredible how incredible?: pretend this Thank You is multiplied by one million goes on forever and plays in heaven yay
