30 Minute Upper Body Flexibility Routine (FOLLOW ALONG)

[@Watashiwapitadesu]

I do not know if these videos are your favorite to make or not and how they impact you financially. But let me say that they are immensely helpful for us who are not very good at stretching or have tendon injuries (like me and my shoulders). Thank you so much for making this content available and keep up the great work!

[@johannes01]

true words!

[@tc-3]

I've made a decision of going through at least one of your follow along routines each day, and every morning I'm greeted with a new weakness, i.e., a thing to work on. Thank you so much, Tom!

[@allocativeefficiency]

Thanks! Your videos have helped me manage injuries for more than a year, for biking, running, and climbing. Cheers

[@ghaffar23]

You have a 15 min quick stretch routine that I found a year ago and it has helped my mobility tremendously - the best shape of my life 🎉🎉🎉

[@XarBeats]

As someone who sits way more than he should this is beyond helpful! Trying to keep up with these stretches everyday, thanks Tom 🙏🏻

[@soemyintmyat875]

Great routine, man. I found your channel while trying to recover from the stiffness I got during my broken hand. But now, I’m totally into flexibility training and my running and lifting have significantly improved. Thanks for the great work, man.

[@Altamove6906]

Many Thanks , very helpful !

[@iwannaplanche1621]

It's cool that you always incorporate some mobility drills into flexibility work. First of all mobility and flexibility (these are slightly different things ifa nyones wondering) go hand in hand, second of all you don't wanto to become super flexible with no strength to control it so it's nice little balancing act to keep it all varied. I've been doing a lot of your routines in the last year and I'm really enjoying some of those. Full body mobility V4 is my new favourite. Keep it up Tom :)

Wow that feels so good afterwards! Subscribed!

[@louisecasablancas9900]

Hi Tom, a 40-45 minute stretching combined with some core exercises would be great. This class has been scratched from our local sports centre due to lack of interest after Covid but it was perfect for us and had become an important part of our week. So during the 6 week strict lockdown of 2020 (we live in Spain) we found you. My husband is a keen cyclist and I spend a lot of hours at a desk so your content is really helpful to both. Thank you!

Good timing I've just bought a broom handle from Wickes ha.

[@luistalavera6392]

Man, this routine really helped me to relax my muscles after my upper body workout, thanks!

[@stevengubkin7197]

Thanks so much for all you do! I have been doing your upper body flexibility follow-along when I do lower body days during my rests between sets. I just pause the video when I need to do another set of pistol squats or whatever. Then I do the lower body flexibility follow-along on my upper body days. My workouts have stayed roughly the same length but now instead of scrolling reddit during my rests I am making mobility gains!

[@mattdavis4765]

These follow along videos are great. Started with your golf one but quickly learned I need to do them all

[@melissajordan7186]

Thank you! Good routine!

[@dangerdavis3613]

Can you do a 30 min follow along for lower body stretching instead of hamstring or hips individually?

[@SOUDOUinteriors]

I started work on my middle split 😋 thanks Tom for all the work that you do for the community 🤩 A lot of Love & Respect Bro 💫

[@johannes01]

when did you start with it?

[@dinarimareva3862]

thank you for your stretching videos, Tom. They really help when I have energy only for stretching or need to relax or wake up, I enjoy your demeanor and am very grateful.

[@suzanm1751]

these videos are so calming and relaxing. wow

[@johannes01]

so good!

[@abo3821]

Very Nice Upper Body Flexibility Routine. Thank You For That!

[@MartinAristia]

hey @tom, would be nice if you did a similar one for lower body. Not for a sport or aimed at a certain split, but just a general "lower body flexibility routine".

[@angiedamian681]

Are these good for seniors! Thank you Tom!😊

[@angellapopovik8446]

Can you maybe make a video about types of stretches or exercises to do for knock knee if you're educated about it

[@BowflexWorkouts]

Tom, can you link me to the headset you use? Do you like it? I'm looking to upgrade mine and your audio is great. Doesn't look like the mic ever gets in the way either.

[@willappleton2733]

Another great routine, I was definitely feeling the stretch! I was a bit sore from the gym a few days ago but now I’m feeling ready to get back to it! Thanks so much!!!!!!

[@johannes01]

yeah this routine is awesome!

[@tomasalbertoduncanjurado952]

Thank you for helping me feel better

11/2/23 done this morning 😀. The scorpion pose was great stretch for the lats. The entire practice was impressive 😌🙏🏾🆒. Thanks Tom

Great work Tom!

Brill mate thanks. Not too difficult at all. enjoyed it.

[@paulabate6770]

As a regular swimmer this video is fantastic, thank you!

[@kyleconlon7676]

Thank you so much! I’ve been looking for a good upper mobility routine; I’ll be using this often!

[@kromosbg1]

Awesome strech videos as always

[@doriannpatrick3185]

Since you did upperbody where is the lower body. I really like you flexibility and mobility videos they have got me doing more flexibility after a workout and more mobility before the workout.

[@liamhounsell9138]

Love your content Tom !

[@Alan_Edwards]

Dude I really like your routines. I did the 15 Minute Beginner Stretch Flexibility Routine today and it was challenging in some areas but very doable for this 66 year old. Too be fair I am in pretty good shape having weight trained regularly (2-3 times a week) for most of my adult life along with cardio and some yoga. I am looking to get more flexibility in my upper body so I can make a little wider\longer golf back swing. I have a somewhat muscular upper body as you can imagine, and it makes getting a big full rotation a little difficult. I am going to give this a go and see if it helps. How long would you say it might take to see any lasting results? Thanks and take care.

Do you have suggested modifications for really tight shoulders, elbows, wrists when doing table top?

[@angiedamian681]

Are you folded legs not cramping yet? What do you do to avoid cramping?

Thank you again, this is much needed :)

are you stretching regularly?

Brilliant

[@afregistry]

Thanks for the video! I had a general flexibility training video that you may have answered before, but how do you protect you joints when stretching? As an example I'm always worried training the pigeon pose or full lotus because of the feeling that I'm stretching my outer tendons. I don't feel any actual pain, I'm just worried about it. Thanks

[@johannes01]

I hope that he sees your comment!

[@xyzyzx1253]

I mean I can’t answer your specific question, But making you have the range of motion to spare, and the strength to back it up, is a really good general way to practice keeping your body safe for advanced movements. I don’t know how beginner you are with this stuff, But full lotus and pigeon pose are extremely advanced poses, that take a long time to build the pre requisites to do safely, They’re deceptively easy to get into, and do badly, all sorts of stuff can be out of whack, with those poses, that if you’re not careful to make sure you have the prerequisite skills, strength and ROM you will load your tendons more than your muscles, and generally you want to avoid that, Lotus is an easy one to get injured on, so just be careful! And make sure with exercises that load your joints hard, you’re staying humble about your limits, No sense in trying to do a skill your body isn’t ready for! :)

[@leahtoler2266]

How should I be using these videos if I want to incorporate stretching post-workout and deeper stretching on off days?

[@xavvvi]

Justo estoy estirando y andaba en busca de algo 😀 gracias por compartir.

Perfect timing, my neck and shoulders are hurting.

did it help?

[@Charles-xh1hy]

do these exercises help build upper body muscles somehow guys ? I have my neck herniated so it's strict to do conventional workout exercises :// hope anyone will answer my wonder.. Have a great week guys ^^

what type of bolster works best for this routine? There are so many different types online and its confusing. cheers!

Videos keep getting better. Thank you. Not sure if you've reflected on the use of "tribe" in your videos. For indigenous people this can be offensive because it is seen as cultural appropriation. While it might be normal in the fitness industry, it doesn't make it right.
