One of the best things about Strength Side: They don't waste your time and get right to the message.

As a former professional ballet dancer one thing I would strongly suggest is to warm up the body first. Warm muscles are more pliable. Otherwise there is potential for micro-tears in the muscles creating scar tissue. Stretch AFTER warming up or exercising. Fewer injuries.

At 52 years old, the wall quad stretch was a game changer. I found that specific video months ago and incorporated it into my stretching routine. The first attempt at it was a workout, I started sweating and shaking, my body didn’t know what was going on. Thank you for all the great videos.

[parinadoshi]

Did the wall quad stretch after watching your video at night and saw immediate result. The relief felt in entire lower body was amazing. Never knew I had so much tension in the hip muscles. Slept like a baby after that - which doesnt happen often. Thanks a lot. Keep up the good work!

as a German Biologist and Pythagorean - I follow you for some time and always am surprised about your presentations. It is Neuro Biology - it starts with the purification of the mind- sense of clarity and rank of Values. In my view - the range of Function and Movement. Every day I see Elderly with bad posture and hanging bent over their wheeled push helper - which only makes it worse - reminding me- I never will be like this - as it is easily preventable. We have a lot of wait times during the day- which easily can be used for Posture control, isometric contraction, stretching - even 1 minute can do a lot. Gratitude to YOU for the en Couragment. And how easy it gets - once we set our Mind to it. Bravo!

The sixt stretch: walking.

Last year I had a serious back problem. Tried so much to get back up. But it was when I started taking walking serious that the whole area got so much better. And with serious I mean just 5000 steps a day.

Ps. That squad at the end is really good to tight low back muscles too. Don't see it recommended that often, but always my first thing to do when feeling tight in the lower back muscles again.

Thanks for the vid!

Thank you. I'm 87 years old and want to remain in good health. I will follow you.

I was searching “stretches for flexibility” when I came across and was drawn to this one. I did all 5 of these stretches and now my body is in a more loose, relaxed state before bed. Thank you so much for uploading this video! Think I will be doing these stretches every night before bed.

Pigeon stretch with front leg elevated on an incline bench is my favorite. The different incline settings allows for more or less external hip rotation without compromising the knee with excessive torque. It is great for developing external hip rotation (front leg) and hip flexor mobility (back leg) and it strenghtens both positions because you need to hold your own bodyweight. You can also add a bonus shoulder stretch by interlocking your hands and stretching the arms overhead into full shoulder flexion - which has great carry over to the bottom of the clean and jerk if you are into olympic lifts

I would add a spinal twist to these stretches, a flexible spine is so important IMO. LOVE THESE!

[chasthompson]

Child's pose is one daily stretch I can't live without, my body just needs Loving strength side! Love the way you guys explain things and you are truly inspiring! Thank you for doing what you do!

[tommack]

Stretching first thing every morning is my goal. Based on our body joints being ball and sockets, we are designed for circular motion, not linear. The 6th stretch is rotating my core to 180 degs looking and reaching backwards. Keeps me surfing and snowboarding at age 60. This really works!!

[ooSMTHoo]

Phenomenal selection of stretches that targets exactly what probably 90% of people need. Really well done!!

I work from home and I spend 1-2 hours in deep squat position. Another thing not mentioned here is free hang on a bar. Mainly passive one but active with scapula engagement from time to time is also great for me.

Came back to say thank you! Started this regime a month ago. Lost 11lb(after the water weight) and am able to do 2 pull ups(couldn’t do any before training). This has become less about working out and more about how far I can go. Every workout is fun and feels like one step closer to achieving the skills I want to learn.

honestly, idk how this channel doesn't have millions of subs

As someone with a slightly hunched back, this has helped me tremendously regaining a good posture. I didn't know I could feel that free inside my body. Especially the Lats and the shoulder exercizes were really working strongly against the hunched back.
