Can i just say that i LOVE your upper and lower body stretching routines? I use both of them as workouts sometimes and then do yoga for my cool down. I've gotten so toned and strong from doing this-- I noticed results after only doing it twice! This is the most effective video I've ever used to tone my legs and obliques. Please make more of these active stretch routines. They are so effective!

3 years now I have been doing this and the upper body active stretching routine... Thanks @FitnessBlender. It is an easy way to catch up with exercise after a long break

[ollieanntan]

Nice! It felt like a workout and a flexibility routine at the same time, plus no jumping! It's funny how some of these look so easy but feel so hard!

Active stretching is using your muscles to stretch so you're not only gaining flexibility, but also extra strength around those areas. This protects you against future injury and also is good for your fitness overall. I liked how the first one strengthens your knees. I could feel it working. I know for me that knee strength is a high priority because I want knees that can handle exercising and also knees that will last me the rest of my life :)

This is the holy grail of exercise. Stretching strenght and stability.

[margaretfoster]

Wow. Deceptively effective. Thank you for creating quick, professional routines that are simple to follow and not just cardio or HIIT.

Used this as an offday workout and as much as I love working on my body sometimes especially at the end of the week or after a long day, a stretching routine can go a long way!

[eattherich]

Never done a harder stretch this was AMAZING!!

[Dermatillomaniac]

This was amazing! Definitely will repeat. Thanks, FB!

[katcatgr]

I've used this stretch workout and the upper body one last winter and I swear i could squeeze through tight places while i was moving furniture around bending and reaching without hurting myself I felt very flexible ! It worked for me well. I just started doing these stretches again because I feel very stiff and omg does this ever feel amazing on my body

[sallylands]

As always a great stretch routine. Daniel is very clear and concise in his instructions and always gives the participant a chance to go that bit further or lessen the stretch if necessary. I highly recommend all of Fitness Blender videos, there's something for every type of exercise motivation you have! Thank you.

Hey, man! I really like doing this routine after the upper body routine you posted as well. It helps in my volleyball training. Awesome!
How's Emily and the kids? 😆

I did this underneath the tree in my backyard after a hard leg workout. I loved it!

[CatMoca]

I really like this video because after working out for a few days in a row with only a quick five minute cool down I can really feel it stretch. Especially my glutes (guess I did too many squats).

Hope you keep making a few of these longer stretch videos. It is much appreciated

[aliciawimert]

Loved this video for an active stretch cool down. I paired it with a warm up and 10 min low impact cardio video. I wanted to move a little bit but take it easy also because my body was stiff and sore from pushing myself this week during my other workouts. This felt really good to the stiff muscles and just the calm and relaxing I needed during the babies nap time.

thanls so much for this! finally a good workout channel where normal people can try it home. 

[AlanaGurl]

This was soooo good after my workout. Will add it to my weekly routine. Thank you.

[liane]

Thank you so much for this. Doing this and your upper body one after kettlebell workout means I have no aches the next day. And after four days of doing these stretches, I can now do flat-footed squats for the first time. I am amazed. Thank you.
