20 Minute Beginner Stretch Routine V5! (FOLLOW ALONG)

[@tishachipman3804]

Hey Tom! Thanks so much for sharing! I love your videos! I'm 61 and have been doing the Beginner Stretch for just over a week. There have been several unexpected benefits! 1. I can sit crossed legged for the first time in several years. I have two bad knees and your stretches seem to be helping them! (Avoiding surgery!) 2. I've learned a lot about breathing while you stretch that i never really got before. Deep breath in, then expanding the stretch when we exhale. That brings me to 3. When I've learned to breathe to strengthen my pelvic floor, it didn't do anything until i followed your routine. It has also helped me a ton with singing! Yes! Holding longggggggg notes is hard, but your routine has made a huge difference!! 🎶 Also, i move better playing tennis, and just in general, which is my main goal! What I'd like is a progression guide of your videos. Once we're comfortable with the beginners stretch, what next? Maybe a flow chart? If you're a runner, go this way. If you're a body builder go that way. If you're battling arthritis go this way. (?) IDK. Maybe a stretch is a stretch no matter what our goals are. I'm just looking through your videos to decide where to go next..?... Plus a variety is good so we don't do the same routine every day. So thank you! Oh, it's easier to see your body movements if you're wearing lighter colors, not black. Black all blends together in the video. And i love the dog!! ❤️🐶 Thanks! Have a great day! 😊

I have been doing these follow alongs since the very first one, and I think they're really great! Only thing I've noticed is that we start from the head and work our way down, but it never gets passed hamstrings/hip flexors, I would love some calf and ankle stretches at the end of the routine

[@jodiebrown9650]

I’m a 45 year old mum of 3 that did a lot of yoga through lockdown. Now I do none and am stiff as a board, so stiff in fact that I can’t straighten my arms in upward dog anymore! I need to make time for myself but it’s a struggle. 10/20 min videos are great. Thank you

[@BodyweightWarrior]

If you can show up everyday, just for 1 stretch, you’ll see improvement

[@Gabrielle-Esther]

Lol, that cute doggy is just getting all of my attention and cracking me up with how he keeps running back and forth😃🥰

[@Hercub]

Same lol

[@Gabrielle-Esther]

@@Hercub Lolololol 😃

[@DravenFromDelaware]

I've tried a lot of stretching videos but i just keep coming back to yours! They just feel the best and i love how the stretches are held for a longer time, so i really have the chance to kind of breathe myself deeper into the positions :) thank you, keep it up!

[@arlarl7176]

I'm 58 years now and could not do any exercises because of an shoulder injury for a long time. I've watched a lot of videos on YT and this is definitely the best one to "come in to exercises" again. And by the way I like the forrest surrounding. Although one knows that this is "only a video" it feels much better than to watch a teacher in front of a white wall. Sorry for mistakes in english language. Thank you and best wishes from Germany.

[@zequill9728]

I think I've said this before but this might be your best yet. The way the stretches flowed and the variations were excellent. First time I could stretch my glute without knee pain as well

[@shadocco]

This is amazing! You are hands down (touching the floor) the best online fitness coach there is. And I’ve seen a lot of them.

[@kimjones4078]

your the best tom❤ our bodies feel so great after stretching, lam 63 hubby 70 we have followed you since covid,thankyou for your time, kim &john Roberts from lemon tree Australia

[@CoraKruger]

Really appreciate your videos and positivity! Thank you! Although I don't consider myself a (total) beginner, I like these "softer" 20 - 25 full/lower body out-of-bed morning stretches so much. What a way to start the day in a relaxed and peaceful state of mind. Thank you & give us more, please!

[@morbidcuriosity2072]

I love this routine within a month of doing it 4 times a week I'm already seeing big improvements!

[@ChelseaJeanBentley]

This is the first time I’ve ever felt a stretch in my hip flexors! Thank you!

[@TheAlphaZulu]

Love your videos Tom! Easy to follow along and reproduce your instructions. I can't stand other videos that are like "You can do this in 30 seconds! Just do this!" and I'm like, "no I can't it's not that easy."

[@jammccrary6945]

These videos have helped me so much I’ve been following you for 4 years now and I feel great after every video thank you Tom!

[@IsaacMJr]

I loved this routine, I’ve been doing previous ones over the years, and this one got my body to stretch a lot more. Thank you for this 🙏🏼. Keep up the work.

[@geegev.1239]

Fabulous stretching routine. Made my morning bright! Thanks Tom

[@PhilVaive]

I just started watching your videos for my stretching/yoga days, and I love it so far!

[@Somtric]

Yes! Going to do this tomorrow, thanks and keep uploading, I love these videos.

[@amrutaselflovecoach]

I am 42 and currently doing my yoga TTC, and really wanted to do a nice flexibility routine for my sore muscles, this one was sooooo good! It is going to definitely help me improve my form ❤

[@saracioffi8263]

Awesome as always, I've been a fan since 2019 and your stretching videos have helped massively in the past few years. I struggle with tight hips and lower back but coming back to your stretching follow alongs is always a massive relief!

[@prettyprrrrettaygood]

So so pleased to find this channel. I drivie 4-5 hours a day for work and these routines are a massive help for my knotted up body. And your chilled out personality is great for anyone who is exercise averse. Hugs to your dog.

[@trustedsale748]

Thanks Tom! 62 Year Old Male - just returning to competitive javelin throwing after brief (44 year) respite! this vido and others are terrific and really help me a lot. Keep going!

[@deyo178]

Absolutely legendary, thank you so much again Tom. I have been doing your follow-along routines for a few years on and off now, and started again a couple of weeks ago. Your routines provide the calm and straight instructies I need to relax and enjoy the stretching. This one is a fantastic addition with multiple positions I loved from the previous routines. All the best to you man!

[@Jona]

Ive made like 20 of ue follow alongs, this is my favourite one I‘m feeling SO good Thank you so muck tom

[@jamespegg8948]

My mobility/ flexibility has somewhat congealed over the last few years. I feel tom is giving me a 1 to 1 with these videos and I'm slowly becoming more fluid. Thanks Tom.

[@M4XW3LLHOUS3]

V3 is the 🐐 but I always appreciate the updates versions to switch it up.

[@steturton6602]

Had years of tight hips and knee stiffness, a lot of it down to a couple of operations when I was younger. Had physios, osteos, pt’s and done bits of yoga before, but my body’s never felt as open and relaxed as it did today after doing this routine last night. Don’t know if it’s the simplicity of the instruction or the variation of the moves but it’s genuinely been the most effective work I’ve done on my body since an ACL rehab half a decade ago. Saved, subscribed, will be doing more. Nice one fella

[@juliakbrown]

Had trouble sleeping last night due to tightness in my neck and shoulders. This routine just fixed it! I love all of your routines, Tom, thank you so much for helping me build flexibility and reduce pain in the past few years!

[@deleted-h4r]

this was so great for someone like myself. absolute beginner, completely neglected flexibility and mobility after several years of strength training. my body needed this!!

[@freyjakohler7265]

My sister and I wanted to do a video to get the started and this video was perfect. We did the simple stretches but were constantly surprised at how deep we felt them! A great way to start the day!

[@pamelacampbell4335]

Thanks Tom! Love your routines and Molly’s persistence in getting you to play. My dog’s agenda whenever I stretch is to sit on my lap no matter the position or angle I am in.

[@victoriamccartie]

Every time I think I've found my fave stretch from you, the next seems even better! Love the relaxing woodland, and the crazy pup 😆

[@christopherroughley2192]

I think the follow along are brilliant and I have been recommending you to my patients for a few years now. You make mobility incredibly accessible. Great work 🎉

[@18751]

Thanks for taking the time to create this video. I just did the stretching exercise and now I feel so relaxed and ready for bed.

[@frankbandura9624]

Thanks

[@Frenchy920206]

Hi Tom, I’ve been following your 15 min stretching routine for several months now and stumbled upon this. What a great update to that video. I love your videos so much. Thank you so much for these. My hips are grateful.

[@ryanhauser4993]

Love this one. Feels like the perfect length of time and so many good movements-such a great stretch. Thanks!

[@tpcampbell]

I do all of your follow alongs on a rotational basis. Former athlete would love to maybe see a series starting from the ankles to the legs/hips and up. My concern is my ankles are always popping and stiff and wonder if that is causing imbalances elsewhere. Keep it up love the content and share with anyone I see moving uncomfortably!

[@mahnoorbasit9361]

I so enjoy these follow alongs because they give me time to follow the moment exactly... And also completing the stretch along with you gives more sense of completion...

[@Thecelestial1]

Thanks Tom! I just woke up and did this. The whole thing was painful and I know I’ve been avoiding it but my body needs it.

[@chillarn7]

Perfect way to end the day. Keep up the good work

[@tomhulbert2784]

One of my favourite routines. The accent makes it even better 😊

[@alexiareedy6506]

I really appreciate the cues you give to help with that whole mind-body connection, thanks Tom 😊

[@laimafilms]

This was great! I have been doing these stretches since version 1. Definetely felt the hamstrings during this routine.

[@yeshwanthtalwar8456]

Another amazing routine, easily one of my top 5 favourite YT channels ❤

[@pauladrigans9099]

I like the stretching you do, different from everyone else, very effective, thanks!!!

[@jonathanspangenberg1563]

Great video. Thank you. I always feel so good whenever I stretch, but somehow i never want to do it. Your videos are so helpful.

[@drstephenvpeters]

I definitely needed this routine this morning and will be doing it until the more challenging stretches get easier.

[@robyn3590]

I am on my weight loss journey which I feel like it's taking forever but I know consistency is key. I do all my youtube workout at home and I'm so thankful for this one. I am so stiff round the hip and thigh area but after consistency doing your flexibility and mobility follow along, it's made a huge difference. I'm no way near flexible but I can feel the difference with my stretches. For someone who can't go gym, I'm very grateful for your follow along videos. Thank you so much. Lots of love from a huge fan in Australia 🇦🇺 🙏🏾

[@frugalityrules]

Amazing stretch session!! My hips and low back are really tight right now and this felt so good. Thank you!

[@martinberkovics9194]

I tried this routine for the first time now, and I'm hooked💪💪

[@M077Y]

Really enjoy this one as a lazy day/post big workout stretch routine, thanks kindly Tom! Loved the Molly zoomies and vibe too!

[@a.a1105]

Danke!

[@polarbearjd]

Great stretch routine! Really opened up my hips. Feel more limber now. Thank you

[@jemmahenley4030]

Hi Tom, you will never have met a tighter person than me. I had an operation on my lower back last December and then my right hip in September and neither have fixed my problems. A lack of mobility has just seen everything seize up. I have been doing your different flexibility classes all week and I think this one is the best for me. It hurts everywhere though! 😊 Let’s hope it starts making a difference 🤞

[@Bhagat_Nirman]

Great flexibility video Tom. Really felt this one!

[@davidcoleman4658]

First time joining you for a session. Found the movements slightly awkward but looking forward to working my way through your session to hopefully aid me in flexibility.

[@BB-ni5wn]

Thank you Tom for these stretch videos. I love them and enjoy your voice/presenting. Stay well! Love your dog too 😀

[@MIA_DaDe]

Greetings from Miami... the timing of this video worked out perfectly for me . Helping me kick off a relaxing Sunday morning! Thank you! Best to your and yours!

[@BodyweightWarrior]

Good morning!

[@gruanger]

This video is amazing. I did all of them and this video is super quality. I have been working on my flexibility lately and this is a super well put together routine in my opinion.

[@mickeogh]

Thanks Tom, have been a fan for years recommending your work, and just getting back into my own practise again, just as there is an updated video! Good timing! Cheers

[@craigblesson663]

So good no ridiculous stretches - feel better already. Thanks

[@janewarda3686]

I love your videos. I'm always energized when completing a stretch workout. Can you please make a video focusing on neck mobility? Thanks for the great videos.

[@rutharcher-jg1kw]

Hi Great stretching video really helped with my knee and general stretching so thank you 😃

[@davidyeazell501]

Everything is great, I struggle greatly with ankle mobility and getting into a deep squat position

[@ovirulz]

Another great routine Tom. Really enjoyed the mellow pace of this one. Cheers.

[@Jona]

And if u could tell us how you archives these nice colors in the color grading? 🤭 they look fantastic? Which Cam/LUT/Powergrade is it?

[@bartinipop]

Again amazing video! New video ideas: stretching cool down follow along for post: - running - cycling - upper/lower body strenght workout - calisthenics workout

[@IanGreaves-wr7lb]

Thanks Tom. It’s really helping with my MTB training. Would love a specific workout in the future ❤️

[@emilyharris129]

Thanks Tom, loved this and all your videos.

[@framedsand474]

Thank you for this one, Tom. Loved the bend and straighten for the hamstrings :)) keep these routines coming!

[@scott60002]

Really enjoyed these stretches. Found them really relaxing. Great job as always

[@vaibhavsood2649]

Hey Tom…really helpful videos since Covid …Anything for shoulder pain in the next stretching video ..thanks and regards

[@jacqueline6303]

Thank you for this very beneficial flexibility routine!

[@melissajordan7186]

Awesome! Thank you! Hamstring stretches were great!

[@Tamrungchanel]

Stretching exercises have given me the benefit of flexibility and back pain relief, good job bro

[@philippjoshua7707]

Perfect start to the week 🎉 Really love your videos! Any chance you can do a daily routine for triathletes? (Or revamp the swim / bike / run videos?)

[@Carnage488]

Excellent video as always! Quick question is this routine considered full body?

[@ThinkActBe]

Thanks a lot, Tom. I'm really glad I found your channel

[@JessicaChloé-ChristHeart]

I practiced PNF during this and wow, it was so relaxing! I love getting back into these, and combining human garage - as their programming doesnt quite get me mobile~ thank you Tom!

[@abdulkadirdarman3934]

Former youth athlete here (footballer). Now 25 and overweight. But genuinely haven’t felt as close to my 19 year old self until I implemented your routines. May god bless you. I feel like I should be playing at the euros haha. Thank you Tom!

[@TimCairl]

Always so good, my partner and I are on 4 years of flexibility exercises with you!

[@kickinghorse2405]

It's 1 am where I live (as I'm watching this). But, definately in my "watch later" list. Always great content! Thanks!

[@vannessaponce8055]

i keep coming back to this one 💪 definitely becoming my new favorite

[@sirenwild9634]

loved it thank you! especially like the ones in nature without music...so relaxing🙏

[@alexandervasylyev1428]

Thank you for the routine! I've been doing your stretches for a couple of weeks now and it really helps to feel better and healthier! My only concern is that I have some sort of protrusion in the lower back, and it hurts to do upwards facing dog position. I am contracting my glutes, but doesn't help, still feeling discomfort during that pose. Maybe you have some recommendations for me, maybe some exercises

[@ebal08]

Amazing timing, Tom! Thank you. I know you have a lot of mobility videos, but maybe some more I'm trying to stick to running and would love to not get hurt again & I'm thinking some mobility would help to keep me well on top of strength training 😊 anyways thank you!

[@mikeharris9361]

Hi Tom, great routine. I am a very keen tennis player. Would love to see a routine focused on helping to protect knees / reduce knee injuries. Thank you.

[@nickscott6613]

Hi Tom, massive fan of the channel. I've been doing the flexibility and mobility follow-along videos for years now. I was wondering if you could put together a video on rib flair and shoulder impingement? My left posterior shoulder area, latissimus dorsi, and pec minor are chronically tight. Many thanks!

[@Tomblom]

Just that little motivation to get back on track with the stretching again. Thanks Tom!

[@mbite5016]

Thanks! This routine is awesome. Also i love the environment and that you have a companion. 🙂

I love the dog in this video! Next time I'm going to do this follow-along it's going to be outside with my dog and a tennis ball.

[@thegoat4913]

Keep up the content bro, I'd argue this is a much better stfetching routine than the ones you've done years ago. Deapite the views being less, your skills to put out great content are even better. Thank you!

[@BodyweightWarrior]

@@thegoat4913 I’d agree! New ones take longer to build views, people like familiarity but these are better routines

Excellent ,so relaxing I’m going to sleep well tonight thank you 😌
