I used to work in construction, but I have a desk job now. I swear my back hurts more from sitting at a desk than it ever did doing physical work. Good tips, I’ll try to get this included into my daily routine.

I have no idea how you're not yet breaking the internet. You're the best one out there for stretching, with the physio education bonus.

That "hug" shoulder stretch is incredible! I instantly feel better and much less stiff. Thanks so much! I really like your videos as they are very informative and let you know why you are doing the stretches/exercises and how to do them properly. Thanks so much. Have a wonderful weekend. 😊

I love these stretches and will definitely incorporate them into my daily desk job. Before I try to make one myself, do you have a handout mini poster I could print out and stick above my monitor and I could use as a reminder of what i need to do and for how long?

Thank you so much for providing the world with these exercises

Nice! I've been working on these on my own, discovering them!

My only add is that when bringing around the leg for that figure 4 crossing onto the lap, I raise my leg 1st placing that foot on the chair ahead of my bum, tight as I can. Then, keeping the leg hinged closed, I drop my knee to the outside. Once there I lift that foot up, with care to keep that legs hinged closed, up onto the other lap. I find this makes my knee feel much happier than when I simply pull up my foot and put it on that lap.

Thank you so much for your work & generosity. May all good things happen to you!

Oh, I have been using resistance bands & light weights too. Got some routines working out! Also just started using a staff. That is more space dependent, of course. So I'm redesigning my immediate work space so I can play with it.

Again, Thanks.

Love these!
I would also add wear compression socks and do calf raises.

Thanks so very much! I work long hour days sitting and just doing these moves while watching for the first time, I already feel less crickety stiff. 💜

I think the universe is speaking to me. Last week I started a 10-week exercise program (at home program), but I knew I needed to work on my shoulder mobility and my hamstrings/glute region. In the past week, another workout channel released a Mobility-specific 20 min routine, and I subscribed to your channel after your Shoulder Mobility video showed up in my recommended weeks ago! Now you release this video :D

I did a daily 20 minute stretch routine in 2020 working from home, but as soon as I was required to return to the office my flexibility/mobility has decreased the last 3 years (9 hour desk job, although I use my standing desk part of the day & use the wall to do some arm/back stretches).

The decrease has really affected my strength based routines - I don't trust myself to do proper low squats or deadlifts or any exercise with arms behind me (shoulder rotation). It's hard enought to dedicate 30-60 mins a few times a week for exercise, and I don't carve enough time for stretching, so this is a great addition!!

This is really helpful (and doable) - thanks!

[galaxy]

really great video. Just joined. Even this one video is worth so so much.

[jerrybowen]

Wonderful videos! Thanks! I needed your help and didn't know it. Lots of low hanging fruit in my case. Every exercise gets results. It makes me feel younger, and promises to have a huge impact on my life going forward.

[carlapujolras]

Very useful tips! Some new to me.and looking forward to try them 😊 thanks a lot!

[redfirebelle]

Great steps, these are helpful for my desk sitting times. Thanks! 😊

[scottmason]

These are great, any ideas for a driving instructor of 18 years, not to be done while teaching obviously 😅. Thanks for all the videos 👍
