Why You’re NOT Gaining Flexibility 

I’m 60, and arthritis makes the jumping too painful. But I’m right there with you on the stretching. I’m infinitely more flexible than I was ten years ago. I’m getting a lot of great stuff on this channel

I don’t know if you will ever read this but I wanted to reach out to say that I stumbled onto one of your workouts and now I’ve added strength/stretching and flexibility workouts to my daily routines and by god I can do full squats and knee bends like a champion and I’ve been so ridiculously tight in my legs MY ENTIRE LIFE! My friends are probably like “ok enough already” cause I can’t stop talking about these amazing benefits from these workouts- thanks for sharing! You are amazing!!!

You’re keeping me young at 73 !!

This is so Dope, especially the Park Clean-up parts... I do this religiously now every time I jog. I grab at least two handsful of trash along my run. Thank you for the brilliant information I'd have never learned otherwise, even after being a lifelong athlete. The parts about levers and the backbend were brilliant!

I love how chill Trevor is, I could listen to him all day long.

Thanks for helping keep our world beautiful and clean!!! As always thanks for the great movement training!! We really appreciate what you do!!!

Keep making these videos man, I went to the gym everyday and never stretched , my body is super tight and I’m hoping to reverse it by following your videos and stretching everyday🙏 thank you for the content

I love your analytical approach to explaining the three sources of force in stretching - it has helped me to understand it much better.

Thank You so much for the FREE content!

Hey, I just want to say: yes, you are so right. I tried so many things to get rid of my hip/back/leg pain.... For two weeks I tried your training with the stretch where the foot presses against the wall (min 00:25) ... and now the pain is gone. The things I tried before were quite similar, but never that intense. The intensity of the stretch did the job, so, let me say: Thank you!!! But one thing: I had a professional check my problem and he said that it was in my left leg(from too much sitting) so I knew what stretch I was looking for.

Thank you! I really enjoy all the content you provide along with the simple descriptions in a smoothing tone. You are very inspiring!

Thank you so much been having painful back problems but I ran across this video and I gained my flexibility back in just a few weeks and I’m not having any painful back problems anymore !

This is such good stuff! I am very stiff from sitting in front of computer and commuting to work via cargo van for years. My body is deprived. I will use gravity to help it!

I love Trevor! My favorite. Love his voice, looks, vibe. ❤️

Brilliant alternative concepts that make the difference. Thank you.

Great video, really helped me to rethink how I am stretching today! Thank you.

Great examples and breakdown! Appreciate you!

this is excellent. so useful. clearly explained and demonstrated. thanks Trevor

Thanks brother. You have no idea how helpful and inspiring you guys are.

Bro your channel is going to triple in likes, subscribers, and comments and beyond very soon. Thank you for what you share with us.

Something new Informative And well explained. wish I could meet you in person someday. Great work👍 And seriously, who needs a gym

Wow! Thanks for this! Very informative and definitely some info I hadn't heard or considered before. Definitely gonna incorporate gravity and loading techniques into my stretching routine. Thank you again 😁 Also subscribed.

I take ballet class. I want to improve the split! It´s so hard and I am stiff in that movment. Thanks for all the good advice you spread.

really appreciate all that you do and share 🙏

Learning from strength side for about 2 years. What a brillant channel! 40 and fitty ! Thank's Who needs gym ? I've only one bar with rings, one wall and one floor !

Great video, I'm 62 yo and I have never been able to sit "cross legged " And I'm kinda stiff all over. I've been following along with Josh for about 3-4 months now. Love the primal crawling routines, I can now crawl for about 2-3 minutes. Any advice on a morning stretch routine ?? Please keep posting this type of videos. KAJ !!😎👍

Amazing techniques, thank u for the lovely video 🤩

Wow, really heartfull! Thanks a lot ... I enjoyed your joy . Makes me want to get my own stretching in more depth progress ; )

Trevor, du hast die tollsten Schultermuskeln, die ich jemals gesehen habe! Du bist genial beim Erklären wie man eine Übung wirklich richtig macht. Sehr umweltbewusst mit deiner Reinigungsaktion! Einfach schön, Dir zuzusehen und selber dann "in die Gänge" zu kommen. 🙏👍🍀

the points you made about using your lever with gravity are very smart and helps me a lot! ill be using that tip for sure! thank you

Great advices and tips as usual ! Thanks man, have a great Sunday !

I didn't realize how stuck I was until I watched your videos. Thank you. There is no greater gift than relief of that terrible nagging pain.

Helpful tips! I tried the pancake stretch modification and have renewed hope of gains

Thank you so much for these gravity tips and examples! I have really struggled to stretch like at 4:11 and thought about how to fix it, and here you have such a smart solution that I just haven’t thought of 😅

Amazing channel!! You got me more into mobility, flexibility, parkour! Please make a video on parkour and your journey with it!

Loving your vibe, spirit and direction. From one Yogi to another. Watching from the UK. I hit the like button and subscribed.

I've always been super tight and at 26 it's catching up to me. This video has some great tips that I'll have to implement while changing my focus from only strength to a balance of flexibility and strength.

Once again great tips to offer progression on our own. Thanks for the post. Some wrist, feet , hand, ankle work would be appreciated.

I love this channel and found you at a most perfect time!!!!

Love the explanation thanks make it simple and easy.

I just love hearing you talk.

Aerial progress looked great! Small tip, get your hips a little lower before take off, then explode up. You’ll need less and less depth as you develop the ability to pop the hips the up. We used to say, “start high if you want to go low, start low if you want to go high.”

Great content bro. Thanks for sharing these tips.

Wow i just have you PDF on your web.....and its amazing work dude thank you very much for your work GRATITUDE! Nazaret form Argentina!

This is so digestible. You are a great teacher

It was the park clean-ups that did it for me the most. 😍

Great series. Just what I need!

Love your channel. I recently subscribed. I'm gonna look into your videos more, but I'm looking for videos that show a full stretch and mobility routine. Start to finish. Maybe follow along. Also, love the energy from you :)

Great video!! Thank you

I get a lot of insights from your videos - thank you !

This should be a video any aspiring weekend warrior/athlete needs to watch. Into to Stretching 101

Love it! Found you on Tik tok but really enjoying these longer in-depth vids :)

Loving the advice! Much needed content ✨👍

Thankyou for these videos. I’ve always done stretches. But after a bout of Long Covid every time I stretched I’d burst into tears with what I can only explain as “poison” (like a snake bite and no I’ve never had one of those Hahahaha) and a lot of lower extremities pain in ligaments and joints. Very odd feeling for someone who has been very flexible then not be able to do the “norm”. No that I feel the “poison” (virus) has going/gone out of my system these videos are helping motivate me to do those stretches again as I feel even less than a beginner. Thankyou so much for your motivation it really does help. One thing to be thankful for with covid......RU-vid videos became a lot more, our world community became closer and people like me that are “healing” can have your beautiful instruction along with access to sooooo much beauty through community. Thankyou beautiful soull. You help so many. 💖🙏🏻💋

I appreciate you man! Especially on that park clean up! 🖖🏾

Thank u so much!!! I would like this video 100 times if I could. Short and beneficial

Been attempting yoga for 2 years now, no flexibility progress, discovered this channel, I subscribed so quick

Helpful. Makes common sense. Thank you

Much needed. TY

Love youre videos helps me alot and keeps me fit!

Great video! Sometimes the simplest things are so hard to see.

Very good, "A bit more of creativity"

Really helpful cues, thanks a lot :)

very useful! Thank you!

Superb video Keep teaching, please.

Pancake stretch for the non flexible on a bench is a super good tip. Will be using that one. thanks

Sooo good thanks 😊

Thank you, this was awesome

Great information ty bro

great stuff, thanks!

Thank you

Aaaaaaaaa,Maaaaan!Best video and I'm looked for.🙏THX from Belarus!

Such a smart guy. Thanks for sharing :)

Thank you from North Carolina where a 57yr old guy is limbering up to your kick ass VIDS! Soooo tight but I see the light!

I never comment. But this is great. Great information. Great values.

As always, such great tips man :)

Love it, Josh!

Awesome, can't thank you enough

Hey, new to your channel. I loved the video and learned a lot. I am older and due to a few injuries have out in some extra weight and lost a lot of flexibility. I am excited to see what I can do using your tips. That said I am very curious about your orange ball and where I could get one.

This is great. Thanks. My forward fold is rubbish….. time to get gravity on the case.

If I may add to this, I've found progress in flexibility by specifying my flexibility training to my actual strength goals. For example, when I was trying to achieve a pike pushup. I know for a lot of folks that's the level 1 progression for the over head body weight press, but for me it was been like level 4. I'm 6ft11 and was over 360 pounds when I started working out seriously and consistently about 2 years ago. Apart from the fact that I just COULDN'T press my body weight over head, no matter how hard I tried or how easy I made the leverage (I was literally overhead pressing almost horizontally, like off the edge of a kitchen kitchen counter or table), I didn't have the hamstring flexibility to even touch my toes... Hell to even do a downward dog... So how am I gonna do a pike push up, so... You watch videos and routines for hamstring flexibility. And just like that, you've started your flexibility journey. Second example was the same thing, Deep squat. Had a really hard time getting into a deep hunter gatherer, primal squat. So I started working on hip and ankle flexibility and mobility... So what's my ultimate point? Rather than just trying to do all the stretches all the time, think about your LARGER fitness goals. This will allow you to target your searches. So you don't feel lost and overwhelmed by all the information out there. My day job a 3d/CGI digital artist, animator and illustrator, and this is exactly how I learned all the software I've been using on a professional level for years. I had a goal, a final emd goal, say a particular image, with a particular character, in a particular environment, etc, and I would try to achieve that specific goal, and google the specific problems that came up as I went along a specific path. But if I was just like "how to learn ______" I'd be overwhelmed with the plethora of information and tutorials and methods and techniques.

Thank you very much

Great content!

I really want to get more flexible. Thank you for these videos.

Thanks a lot 🙏🌻☀️

Thanks for another helpful video. I am working with your hamstring stretches. I have a question about ankle flexibility. Any stretching or exercises I do for ankles is extremely limited by my calves. How to target the ankles without the calves limiting the range of motion? That's the only thing that is getting stretched! It may be months before I can work on ankles.

Great video!

Hey guys big fan of your work man, been picking up workouts and stretches from you channel. BTW what do you call the orange ball you use to massage your back with?? Cheers Brotha!

Thanks for another great vid! What's the orange ball at 6m 11s? I could do with something like that. Cheers Neil

Fantastic!

Thanks Bro!!!

Thank u ⭐

I learned something. Thanks.

Please bro Please always make this type of videos because I really need best exercises of stretching

Hey man, can you make a video about hip impingement? I know you already released one but that was 5 years ago and maybe you have a new perspective on how to treat it.

Please do a video om flexibility post injury like a hamstring or groin injury when one side is stiffer than the other

Lovely backdrops!

Love these dudes.

It was all going so well with your information and what I know. Then Sunday first and last wave I tore my hamstring.

What kind of ball are you using on your back? OMG! it looks amazing and just what I need. Even though I am 56 years young with CHF I know that by doing these stretches they will help in releasing tension and the constant pain in my body. You are so inspiring! Thank you so much! And your right! Who needs a gym?????
