I got started with you the end of last summer and I can say as a 64yr old man who has been a bodybuilder, genetically stiff and waved off stretching and found himself in a pucker of the tightest fascia, hamstrings, hips with horrible knee pain - you are absolutely correct what you teach is a life changer. I am still stiff but I have come so far through the fall and winter and make stretching 1/3 of my training 6 days a week. I have dealt with excruciating pain and it is still painful but much better and my general mobility has climbed.

This is one of the best fitness videos I have ever found. Each exercise is explained adequately without excessive conversation. There is no annoying music. Your voice is pleasant and clear. The video is just the right length, and I LOVE that you don't try to be cute or funny, you just get right to the point and give us exactly the information we need. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you! I am definitely saving this one to my fitness video library.

[@wisdomgametv4594]

I'm a man, 77 years old and I can do 21 deep squats. I love your videos, but trust me. For the people I know, it's not their age, or that they can't build up their ability . . . it's their will to to do them. A lot of people are deteriorating couch potatoes. These squats are life transforming but a lot of people are attached to their dis ease.

[@polromeu]

Amen

[@darcibray4247]

Yep

[@ppmppm7010]

How long do you hold them for, I'm 72 male. I do one squat but hold it for 5 minutes wondering which is the most beneficial

[@nattywho]

I would agree with you wholeheartedly!!!

[@Mr._Fit_Atheist]

@@ppmppm7010 I'm 69 with psoriatic arthritic knees.... do both, one is not better than the other. Holding the squat is good...stretches out things. Doing high reps is good....builds endurance and strength. Do a few reps, then hold, rinse & repeat according to how good it feels. If you can find something heavy to hold out close to your body, like a kettelbell, even better.

[@stewartgregson8479]

I’ve just tried these exercises and they are great. I’m nearly 61, relatively fit but have poor mobility and I can see this routine is going to really help me. Thank you.

[@AndreeaNastase]

They are great for you! She explains them so well too. As a complementary video, I recommend also watching Andrew Huberman with Peter Attia to see why these are so important. Trying to get my entire family to do them.

[@AngelRivera-wp9bg]

She is awesome.Makes things understandable for ordinary people.

[@lylachristopherson865]

Absolutely. When I started even trying to do the Primal Squat it kicked my ass, but two years later, I can do it!!!

[@christopheroliver148]

For me it's the Cossack. But I've always had bad hams and inner thighs even many moons ago when I did tae kwon do. The squat is actually very easy in comparison. But that may just be my particular genetics and path through life. I've been a somewhat serious cyclist for decades.

[@billybass4189]

Eloquently explained with no guff as usual, simple movements that ultimately will improve flexibility, balance and posture.

[@grannygamerquilter]

Love these videos! I am learning so much and becoming more flexible too! I'm coming out of being as stiff as a board and at my age (nearly 67) that is nothing short of a miracle!

[@JohnDoe-mv5jm]

Another quality tutorial. All movements explained in a natural no nonsense manner, you are a natural instructor/ teacher, easily one of my favourites. Thank you🤡

[@Jazon92]

I love your videos. I've been improving my mobility with them for a while now. Up until now, I've come across videos that quickly discouraged me because I didn't see progression. Or they looked like 'do this routine every morning to be mobile', but I wasn't mobile enough to even do them. Thank you, you're doing a great job!

[@sybswealth-ch8dz]

I absolutely love your channel. I love how you break things down, and make them easy to understand. You are warm, relatable, and welcoming! Thank you for this wonderful channel😊

[@brianmacadam4793]

Hi, at 63, and recovering from a cardio issue, I had a physio introduce your videos, they've given me another pathway towards fitness, Bravo !

[@mrsbootsworkouts]

I started working on my squat depth only several months ago, and see a giant leap in my thigh and glute strength, thank you for the amazing content!

This is perfect. Just hitting 50 and running regularly but definitely need to improve my mobility. Thanks so much, love the videos - great pace and fun, but without any bull. Keep up the great work. 👍

[@kobalt77]

Thank you this is so helpful. I started doing the Asian Deep Squat over a year ago ( I am 63 male), I could barely do 30 seconds, it was torture. I am up to 5 mins plus now, and in that time most of my lower back pain has gone. Amazing . PS and I dont get tired legs after big walks ;)

[@hannahn7375]

First of all, your voice is so soothing. Thank you!

[@shmuckling]

I love how you advise easing into a movement to prevent injuries and promote consistency by advocating for "micro-dozes". Injury prevention and consistency is the name of the game.

[@disqusrubbish5467]

Several of these are in my Physical Therapy sessions post-total hip replacement. AtG just last week... And they all really work. Thank you.

Very thankful how you sharing these very practical tips Liv 🙏 Will be sharing with everyone I know is looking to improve mobility 🙂 Also nice to see you incorporating the "ATG Split Squat" - these have been a game changer to bullet-proof my knees.

[@peoplemoving]

There is no other channel that cheers me up like watching your instructions! I will try the first one with the roll... to begin...

[@YasmineSay719]

Wow! You’re amazing at explaining these movements! Thanks 😊

[@bouncebackpilatesbodywelln677]

Absolutely love how you explain and instruct. Clear and concise with a hint of humour. I am a pilates instructor and your style so resonates for me. I am really glad I came across your channel.

[@adlockhungry304]

Great tutorial! I’ve been exposed to all manner of mobility drills, these ones included, but it gets overwhelming trying to curate them all for my own purposes in warm ups and warm downs. This is an easy to understand step by step that I can follow through, start to finish, in a corner of my gym prior to training under load. Side note: the bird tat on the right arm is dope!

[@Kaska_W]

OMG thank you Liv 💕 I've been struggling a lot with deep squat/malasana pose because I either have heels really high above the ground or I fall on my back. I think this tip with wall will be a game changer for me 💮

[@JJ-ur9yp]

Also, this squat is impossible if you have extra long femurs and short lower legs.

[@imawildman]

[@b1_ferg]

OMG, THANK YOU! Squats are easy for me but I never understood why I couldn't get the cossack squat down properly. You're breakdown made it super simple to achieve proper form, you provided and alternative and showcased the differences in what they favor in the exercise. Fantastic! Cossack squats are my weakness, but at least I know I am doing them properly now. I love finding things to work on. Challenge accepted!

[@kumarsabaratnam4787]

Thanks. Well explained with demos.

[@gotchugarrosh6825]

I so much like not only your smart content, but as much the happy and accurate way you deliver it! I felt so inspired by your recommendation to start with the squats during daily activities, that I am now thrilled to do 20+ per day without having to investigate in an extra workout session. Also I am having fun to find new opportunities ever so often, where to build this into my daily schedule. Yesterday I used e.g. every door, did one squat in front of it and another one after I passed it. Today I did 2+2 and included the toilet (before/after), so that's another couple of squats every day...thank you so much for all your support on everybodys health! P.S. if you dont find a space in your flat, where you can have the foam roll behind you: use a door frame (and make sure, the door is securly open)

[@harryglass3918]

Great presentation, Super duper information, so far the best I have found online. Thank You.

[@brianbrock6774]

that was awesome. I feel like this video pinpointed many of my vulnerabilities and weaknesses. Thanks!

[@grantmail4112]

Subbed! Really enjoyed this... I do the sitting squats every morning for the last few years.. I was starting to wonder if they are doing anything as I can sit and stand up easily like you showed.. when you sit all the way down it doesn't feel like anything is being exercised as I could sit there all day.. but now you have explained how important they are to continue doing that's really useful advice. Really enjoy the way you explain and demo everything!

[@jarkolimbo9268]

Good stuff. Sensible. ALSO, appreciate the professional delivery. Well done!

[@soroushsoltani919]

I really found this video inspiring since I was trying to get flexible, and I was used to practice only one video before and I had lost my motivation now I can practice in different ways and get better.

[@Tunenine]

I challenged myself the last 6 months to do the deep squat at least 5 times a day and now that I got it, it feels good and really up'd my achievement level. Getting that frog sit is my demon because I have extremely tight hamstrings from years of running but I plan to get there, and never give up.

[@joanlynn1702]

Another winner❣️You are right, I know some of the exercises by different names from my weight training and HIIT days…so it’s looks like I will be revisiting some old friends as part of my daily stretch, slide & glide before hitting the mat. 👍 Once again I cannot thank you enough for this series of videos. 🙏 Have I mentioned my piriformis is ready to propose as a result? 😂

Quite encouraging to see u promote a few things that I already do. Im 68 and flabby with zero discipline so I have to build this stuff into everyday life. I squat whilst cleaning teeth. I have always sat on floor to put socks on. I stretch legs whilst waiting for the coffee machine. Oh yes and I have one of those cheap pull up bars that (sometimes) I hang from :) now Ill try and add a few more of your stretches. many thanks.

[@charles-olivierhuot4261]

This has to be one of the best KZbin videos on mobility, stretching, and workouts. As someone who had an ACL reconstruction over 10 years ago from an injury during my military career and now a serious ankle injury from a very recent climbing accident, I picked up your advice about people with injuries or disabilities. I do work closely with my surgeon and my physio still as I'm trying to get back to climbing and strength with flexibility is important. So far, I'm almost back to full primal squats but the flexibility in my ankle isn't quite there yet. I do still use the rolled mat against the wall method. Dead hanging. I still use my climbing hang board a lot as it has no impact on my ankle and I want to keep my finger strength. When someone new tries a hang board I always advise them to keep their feet or toes on the floor and then put their body weight onto their hands or fingers. Cossack squats, I haven't done but I'll definitely look into doing them now. Thanks for a great video, I've subscribed and liked.
