This full body stretching routine for flexibility and mobility is aimed at opening up all the ranges of motion of the body. I made this stretching routine with no equipment or gym needed! This full body stretch is for beginners and athletes as well. You can use this as a stretching warmup for other training, or as a daily routine to keep your body healthy. These stretching exercises also focus on strengthening certain ranges of motion. The muscles stretched in this routine are the calves, hamstrings, quads, hip flexors, lats, traps, chest, shoulders, and neck. These stretching exercises for men & women can also be done after a workout for a cool down. Enjoy!

Tried this daily for 4 weeks. Here the results:

Arms have full range of motion
Shoulder are "down" again
Hip does not "fall down" while walking anymore
My legs gained significant muscle
Full control on my hips
Able to internally rotate my hips (did not know human body can do that...)

This is just a small overview, but fellas: Thats it. Just do it and try.
I came from a home-office body and was folded like a piece of paper from 60+ hours at my Laptop a week

After trying almost everything in the internet to make my backpain go away, this is the only solution I found that actually works. Don't miss the second video that belongs to this practise.

Ahh.. not to forget: I have Scoliosis with 3 areas having partly 31° screw up.

But the BEST about this video: The voice, the softly spoken words. Its such a lovely contrast to Xmen like Bodybuilders here at youtube. I almost thought you americans only communicate with yelling.

Much love to anyone and specially to Josh!

Never seen a 15 min stretch pass by so speech was the essence of this video

Blue!
You guys are amazing. THANK YOU for your teachings. Mobility is so important, especially as we age! I'm a 53 yo woman and I will continue to nurture my mobility throughout the next half of my life. Aging doesn''t mean our bodies have to get old, sore and stiff! I'm going to be dancing into my 90's and beyond!

I’m 72 consider myself fit but needed to improve flexibility. Found you 4 days ago. Already seeing improvements! This 15 min stretching is now going to be my start to the day! Thank you!

Many thanks from France. I'm 48, tennis coach and i'm using all your exercices every day since this summer. For me first, i wanna live my entire body, i wanna feel free with my every movements, i wanna feel flexibility, fluidity. That was not the case, i've come to a point in my life where i was feeling sadness every day, being older and older, suffering my body and every thing around, food, people, modern life etc etc .... i've found you and you gave me inspiration. Not only by giving us some excellent drills but by your reflection on life, our way of being, of breathing, of contemplating things around with a coffee cup in the hand. Thank you Josh, being a master in something and share it is not a common thing in modern life. I let you know around how i'm getting and feeling better every day ..

Holy Cow, I'm so grateful to have just discovered you! I am STILL recovering from lumbar surgery after 2.5 years, and staving off degeneration in my left hip... I've lost so much of the strength and vitality I had before the back injury. My body is stiff as a board and full of massive pain. I am also demoralized to be 10-15 pounds heavier than I'd prefer. Feeling old (only 62!), wiped out, and frustrated. I just did my best version of this routine and actually did better than I'd expected, and feel SO much better already. This might be a game-changer for me... slow and steady. So grateful! Witnessing the incredible functionality in your body is an excellent model and motivator. Thank you for your devotion and hard work!

[WarpedRecord]

Wow, this was very fun, somewhat challenging for me, and extremely fulfilling. I did this after a workout because this was a recommended video, and it’s just what I needed. I’m feeling very blue now — not peaceful but serene, like my favorite color.

[jasjamsmob]

This practice has become my routine in every morning for a half a year. I feel extremely better now. Thank you for the video!

[Helsbelsw]

Have been doing this for one week since 1st August- hope I can emulate the people further down in the comments section to continue this journey for many months and years! Thanks Josh :)

[mattnelson]

You're awesome. Thank you for your time and help. I feel better after one session already. Got up 15 min early, no big deal. Green!

[EmmaCoulter]

This is awesome! I've been doing these a few days and already feel better. Thank you!

[andrewmitchell]

Stretching, workouts, and healthy eating just causes a chain reaction of good things. The Discipline trickles into every aspect of life.
Favorite color is blue

[ArdynSol]

I've been listing consistently lifting weights for about 1.5 years now and I've definitely began to notice how stiff and in pain I am afterwards. This is definitely helping. Thank you!

[ptcla]

As I may have already commented, this is one of a few of your videos that I have used to keep myself feeling better physically and getting through my weeks a bit stronger. Thank you so much for making and posting these! Teal

I was recommended this. 35 year old and with sore lumbar and right shoulder. Rarely stretched my whole life. Barely exercised. Smoked for 20 years (quit almost a month ago) and I feel better already from one session. Going to do this everyday. This routine shouldn't make my heart race and make me feel out of breath. Once I get to the point I don't feel that way anymore ill move on to something more intensive.
