Just finished my stretching for today, just to find you've posted this clip! XD Been battling tight hips for _ages_ barely making progress. But gonna give this a try tomorrow and see how it feels. thx for sharing 🙏
@@geemail369 do the same stretches for atleast 1-2 months consistently to see some progress. It takes more time than we would like... but it's worth it in the end :)
Beautiful scenery and thank you for the training exercise. I'm in recovery from differenciated thyroid cancer and have been using your videos to motivate me into more flexibility exercising. After three years of fighting my battle, I have lost muscle mass and strength. Over the last month or so I have noticed a difference in body mobility. It will be a while before I can get to your caliber. Thanks again.
I got hit by a car when I was 10. Shattered my femur, pelvis and broken my hip. I was in traction for 6 weeks, half body cast for 6 weeks, then had to learn to walk again. Around 30 my back/hip blew out and its pretty bad. I'm 38 now and just learned of you recently & have been using your techniques to help open up my hips and stretch more. Thank you for the information you provide.
Hey boss 33 months ago shattered hip shattered pelvis I live with daily pain. My rehab has been brutal I am currently able to do 3.7 miles in a hour on treadmill. I am thankful to be alive try not to complain. Stay strong daily training daily therapy never give.
Wow what scenery!!!! Just beautiful! 😁 oh my god about a month ago I found you on the tube and was unable to even stand on one leg. Now I can do that and even do a squat! I am no where near I want to be but you've changed my life and I'm so grateful. I have goals! ❤
@@chrissycorazon A great wheel pose is really impressive because it's the antithesis to our industrialized "desk jockey" pose. So, it's rare to see a good one. How did you train to get there, or was it mostly just natural?
Thank you so much for saying how long you’ve been working on flexibility. I used to be super flexible, but at 50 I am shockingly stiff. It’s more encouraging to know that you’ve had to really work at it too! Traveling is so great for a person, and it is really hard to balance with having a home base! I haven’t travelled in way too long, I had just saved money for a trip abroad last summer, then lock down happened and unemployment has exhausted most of my money, so it’ll be awhile till I can afford it. Thanks for your videos
Thank you Josh! Great stretches! I am in a lifelong battle with tight hips and any new tips are much appreciated. Though as an anatomy nerd I have to say that's external rotation you're in at 2:15😉
If you havent already will you do some good psoas/low back relief stretches? I have been doing a lot of large scale art sitting cross-legged on the floor and my lower back has been killing me at the end of the day.
Ever since I was I child I was sooo active and flexible, I was a cheerleader, soccer captain, played all kinds of sports like hockey, volley ball, basket ball etc. I got older and lazy and now I can barely do these simple moves 😩 my hips are so tight and hurt so bad omg. I wish I could meet you and do 1 on 1 stretching together
Absolutely very helpful. I wish we live close by. I don’t mind to be your client. I need someone like 👍 you guys. I’m a gym bunny 🐰 & as you said , we get tighter lifting weights etc tho looking great. I need to be flexible. Feels sooooo good. Canada here. Love to meet you someday. Keep the great work guys. Thank you 🙏 🙏👍👋💪😝🇨🇦
Hip opener to do. Quite long time now, getting slowly better... bridges too. But they always make me laugh. How lovely you both in between. Enjoy your holidays ... thank you for sharing*
Ah,come on now...people - who hit the dislike button here - were possibly crying so much from happiness that they found Strength Side and Josh,so that they hit a dislike button by mistake through their tears :).
So glad to see this in my inbox. I broke my pelvis pretty bad and I’m bolted and screwed back together and subsequently, I’m rather stiff in that entire area. I’ll be trying these moves for certain. Thanks!
Your stretches have helped me tremendously for powerlifting. My inner thigh has been very tight, it hurts. This video helped me know what stretches to do for the pain. TYSM!
I stumbled only recently upon your channel. It is very interesting not only your exercises and this idea "feel the movement" instead of lifting XY pounds or making 10000000 repetitions, but the progress your made during the existence of this channel (not only physical). Your vids at the beginning and now are the world apart.
Thanks Josh! Love this stuff and your Mello vibe. Could you let us know at the end of a one-side movement or series of movements, that you will do the other side later? Or, to pause the video and do the other side? (I’m ALWAYS following along) LOVE
Loved the travel reflection. It also took me a minute to realise how much wellness being grounded and having a strong routine brought me. Also had the travel bug and wanted the nomad life but balance has to be the key for me. Feels good hearing someone putting that balance into words. Thanks
Why not tie mic in beard 🤣🤣🤣 that will be helpful 😜....and most people won't even notice it...... ..I have a feeling that this stretches will help me in my journey to splits....
It will only crack and decay if you let it. There are insanely fit world class athletes into their 30s. You just need to take care of it, exercise, eat well, try to sleep enough. If you let your body breakdown working back is 10x harder
There are many different genetic variations for range of motion. (being super stiff or super limber both have to do with certain genetic syndromes)You could always just stretch to your fullest potential. Stretching anytime is always good for the body and the mind!! Flexibility takes a lot of time and patience but always worth it. Just remember the importance of balance with flexibility as you age. It is extremely important. I believe in you and you can become more flexible if that is what you want but you have to want it. Check out Strength Sides other videos for mobility ...Cheers and have a good night. I wish you all the best!!!!!!
I find it difficult to find your videos. You have almost a million subs yet I’ll have to sift through other videos tangentially related with less than 1k views
dont forget to look for the axolotyls! Apparently the cuties only live in a lake in Mexico....critically extinct, Peter Pans of the salamander world . Thanks for the best stretches!
