That hip flexor stretch is INTENSE but feeling the muscles in between changing sides was testament to how effective it is!! Thank you so much Tom, loving these stretching follow alongs
Aa painful as it was at tge time, the quad / hip flexor stretch was just what I needed. Thanks for another informative follow along video. I'll be adding that to my daily routine 👍
This is a brilliant complement to your 6-day at home routine. I'm bringing this into the weekend days. I even did it once while watching TV w/ the fam... aspire to do more of that. Being fit is such a powerful way to bolster mental health: good mental health is about having options. When my body is fit, I see more options than when it is tight and/or atrophying. Thanks. Tom! 🙏
This is probably the best and most beneficial follow along to be done basically everyday that I have ever done. I’ve been doing it often. These really are the core stretches that keep you mobile and going on a daily basis.
I've been doing this routine every other day for a while now & I'm getting super flexible! thank you for this. would you consider doing more follow along workout videos?
Mate, I love your video. Thanks to you, first thing I do when I wake up is follow along your stretching routine. I have one suggestion that, in my opinion, would make your videos even better: talk less and let the music do the talking. I really like your instructions for each position like “keep your chest up”, “if it’s too difficult switch to X”, etc but the rest is just fill up words that blocks me from enjoying the stretch and the music.
Sending the luv from Edinburgh :) I'm a Bodyattack instructor - love your stretch routines, I use them all the time and recommend them to my class participants. Perfect warm-up and antidote to high intensity/impact 👌
With this one I finally felt my neck stretches - it's my weak point and was afraid to experiment with it on my own. And the stretch with the knee against the wall is so much deeper than what you've shown before. Thank you!
This was very helpful, thank you. My one request is that you add a deep stretch for the calves. Would be helpful or those of us who can't achieve the full squat yet.
Well I have been following your follow along stretching routine for +1 year and it literally changed my daily energy. Didn't comment yet on your channel but this follow along was special. Thanks a lot. Keep it going. Cheers from France ;)
Ive recently hurt my hip / left buttock from sitting in an unsupported cushion for a very long time (i binge played a game for about 8 hours a month ago and have been in pain ever since yes i have deep regrets) that hip flexion and booty flex has been the best thing to relive the pressure before i was barley able to wallk without extreme pain so thank you with every ounce of my being i was so tired of being in pain its been over a month of pain reliver and feeling lost i feel so much better thank you thank you
Thank you so much man. I’m trying to move from traditional chairs and sitting to squatting and sitting on the floor. Your squat mobility videos helped me a lot🙏🏾 can you teach how to sit on the floor in various comfortable positions?
Revelation! What an amazing video. This is my favourite stretching video I have ever seen. This has helped me out loads and brought some additional clarity on what I should be doing daily!
I like the idea of getting into 7 different positions once a day. Sometimes it is difficult to decide how to stretch and which routine to follow. This sotra covers all important bits. I hope i can take up this routine. The glute stretches were far too difficult for me and most of the hip flexor exercices I felt only in my thighs, but hopefully i can find variable positions.
Hi Tom. Love the routine, all the way up to hero's pose and it really hurts my knees. I also get stiff knee and pain when I cross my legs (only on left side). I've done research and many places say its IT band syndrome - are you ever going to do a video on how to fix this problem? Cheers, all the best
Hi Tom, thanks for this routine , it's amazing. I have a question , currently I'm working on over front splits , do you recommend doing passive front splits daily or should i do it twice a week ? Thanks
Hi Tom, love this routine, I often find when holding positions like the glute stretch I get a pinching feeling of the adductor muscle on the same leg. Can you please recommend ways to mitigate this?
I remember him mentioning in another follow along video that the crampy feeling is normal and the best way to fight it is to just contract your muscles harder. I might be wrong about this but I just wanted to let you know in case it helps. (I assume the pinching feeling is similar to the crampy feeling)
I have a pinching feeling in my quad at times. Foam rolling the area prior to any stretching or exercise has made it disappear on great days, or lessen it to a point of being able to work through it on not so great days. All in all, foam roll or, like Tom mentioned for his upper back, lacrosse ball
I have increasingly worse lower center back pain and can barely touch my toes with a bent back. Obviously I'm sure these are quite common problems, any suggestions on stretches? For example on the last stretch (extension) it felt really good through my legs but my lower back felt like it was going to snap, so obviously I stopped. I'm also trying some of your other hamstring routines, but my lower back wont quit causing discomfort. Thanks for the great content Tom.
My pancake position is horrible I can barely open my legs wide enough and I can't lean forward much at all to feel that stretch. Any advice here? Great routine though, that wall hip flexor was great, I'm really tight there but I'm gonna be working on that more going forward. My issue here though is first with my ankles not able to bend enough on the wall so I feel it on my toes more. But I'll figure that out with time.
Thank you so much for this video, I’m in my 50’s and I have let myself go but this is something I can do for a while I get more flexibility, THANK YOU!
Thank you Tom! Definetely want to try this out. Like your channel for your top notch information and message you sending to your people. Keep it up! You are the MVP.
Hey! Thanks for all your vids! You have helped me in various physicall problems🙌🏾 I was wondering if you can do a follow along for sternum pain (costocondritis) please🙏🏽
Great sequence, straight to those parts of the body very tight. Intense and relaxing at the same time. Always like your follow along videos Tom. Thanks!!
I can't do the crossed leg stretch where you hug your chest. As a not so flexible 55 year old when i try and drop my shoulder, I just end up rolling around on the floor😂 is there an alternative that targets the same area?
With the global extension, can you suggest a series of progressions to enable the full lean-back stretch? Clearly getting loose with the hip flexors is key, so what are some of the best ways to progress? (66 y/o). Thanks Tom!
I use these movements on rest days and sometimes incorporate them into cooldowns on training days to hit things that feel tight or pull out muscles that were worked. I wish there was one more move for around the shoulders, but this is great overall.
Could even lean forward in the pancake, ended up having to put my hands on the floor! Clearly something I need to focus on that 🧘♂️ Great routine! Thank you so much!
I found in the second exercise my arms got pins and needles very quickly. They also went away quickly but I'm wondering if I was doing it right? With the global stretch the front of my left ankle in particular felt very overstretched, so I just put my legs in front of my like a glute bridge raise.
