Can you do a follow-along version of this??

[@BodyweightWarrior]

If this gets 100 👍 then I’ll make one :)

[@C00kingBadd]

Cmon guys! Make it happen !

[@lemonaid1796]

Yay! Tom, the OP has more than 100 likes on this, so you know we really reeeally want that sweet follow-along action, brother!!

[@C00kingBadd]

@@lemonaid1796 but just in case like his comment as well

[@Jonnythescottt]

I made it 100. You’re welcome 😁

[@iamrjdennis]

The essentials! Thank you for sharing your expert advice, Tom! 🙌🏻

[@edwardlove-2357]

I like your simple, straightforward explanations. But I mostly watch to see your adorable dog!

[@lukas199617]

Great tips! Would be great to get a follow along with those stretches in mind

[@nathanielsimha7580]

Solid advice. I’ve been practicing and teaching yoga for 13 years and agree with you. These are 5 of the most important stretches (for most people).

[@sarafam330]

Best content ever! Thank you Tom! Do you have any video about breathing during mobility flexibility excerise ?

[@18751]

Great video! I would love to see more upper body stretches. I'm trying to enhance my shoulder mobility for boulder climbing.

[@tafrojistu9445]

Jak zawsze konkretne informacje, dzięki! 🙌

[@simpler_times81]

Great ones, thanks. Really like wall supported cossack squats too.

[@Berley_1234]

you are like watching art in motion Tom.... beautiful job

[@samkaipops]

I use Tom’s mobility and stretch routine more than I use anyone else’s. Effective and to the point.

[@ruthgomez3962]

Great Exercises I do them everyday...thank u Tom😊

[@corinneklomparens2405]

The dog is adorable, constantly wagging his tail

[@sebastianitooi5863]

Loved it.

[@Zahlenmann]

A dog symbolizes pure unconditional love, more than any other animal in relation to humans. If you are barked at conspicuously often and seemingly for no reason by strange dogs, this means that your family structure is imbalanced. So if dogs bark for seemingly no reason, you should take care of your family. Love, peace, oneness, freedom...

[@kwlee4190]

Awesome, thanks Tom 😊

[@Espoboogie]

Thank you for this!

[@bw6078]

Great information here.

[@pepebeto74]

Great routine thank you. Is better to do this before or after weight training? (Assuming a dynamic warm-up prior to train)

[@dieterh.9342]

Love it. Thank you!

[@SoulBladeM]

Definitely will try to make these a daily practice! :)

[@zackthomas7244]

I’ve always taken care of my health but since finding your channel, hearing your philosophies and incorporating a mobility routine my well being has increased substantially. Cheers pal.

[@BodyweightWarrior]

Happy to help

[@elviamorales3451]

[@chrismorgan4619]

Great video, thanks.

[@marvinraphaelmonfort8289]

"everyone's favorite"😂 but doing the 4 previous stretches (did an up dog and downdog instead of hang coz nowhere to do that) really helped with the last one 🤗 love ur accent

[@mariuszkoch3891]

something that always makes my hips feel amazing is an elevated pigeon on incline bench, especially with twisting torso towards front knee

[@bonnyvondolores2647]

Happy to find REAL engaged movements… I’m in mid-70’s… I can do all the squats, stretches hamstrings etc.. and do hanging stretch with assistance. Excellent..

[@pramodmourya1683]

Thanks sir

[@howarddavies782]

The dog is into it as well. Great must use video.

[@tommyjohn_45]

I find myself relying on the same, with the exception of a butcher block over the hanging lat stretch.

[@MrPartrick1]

Inspirational footage

[@shamarbauyrzhan7997]

Will do these every day from now on! Thanks!

[@Chief_Brody]

no you won't

[@K4R3N]

Good list

[@bryanhermans4303]

Out of a bewildering world of flexibility routines, thanks so much for digesting it down to something busy, but fitness minded people can actually do.

[@cosmovandam]

So happy I found this channel a couple months ago. Your guides have helped me feel supple and ready to tackle my workouts without fear of injury. Thank you!

[@JF78Reality]

Thanks bro 👍

[@spyrospanagiotopoulos1949]

Hey @Tom! I hope you are well my friend. This video is exactly what I was looking for. I have only one question. Do you suggest to do these stretches as pre-workout/ warm up or not? Carry on with the good work man! Thanks in advance!!!

[@Fitness4London]

I do them when my muscles are warmed up after a workout.

[@mohammadtesla-ze6lw]

Good job.i have a question Before these excercise Should I warm up? Or it s not necessary

[@teddy3546]

Hey Tom, just wondering if you think the hangs would benefit me as someone who climbs a couple if not three times a week as it is? Also, thanks for the vid, it’s very good 🎉

[@AlinafePhillips-ke6eq]

Thank u!🙏🏿

[@pun15h3r.]

thanks man i really do like me some short stretching session daily instead of long stretching workouts xD

[@VascoDanielNunes-hq8iw]

As an ultrarunner I still do your stretching routine for runners since last 3/4 years once a week and I do squat standing and other like internal rotations ...As a 50yr I realised that mobility and strengthen helped me a lot of staying injury free and listenning my body...After yesterday 20kms uphill elevation gain 700 mts my body reminds me go to Tom Merrick channel and do that stretching routine for runners that I discovered from a Finish KZbinr also runner Running with Marc😊 All the best from Sintra Lisboa Portugal 😉

[@saulgoodwin8328]

best video on youtube

[@linmac1686]

Amazing from a yoga teacher x

[@barbaramallow3870]

Great stretches! Any suggestions for overcoming hip impingement when squatting? Thanks.

[@WoKiZVFX]

Search banded joint hip mobilization, it's perfect for that

[@nidzacrespo9533]

Love ❤️ your dog 🐕 gracias 😊 nice stretches 😊❤🙏🏻some of those, I can’t perform. Because or a bad shoulder, but the other I like 👍 I know they’re designed for younger people 😂😊❤thanks again

[@evcricket]

Very similar for me; I think one of your videos got me onto the 90-90 which is really sorting some shit out. The only thing that might be a bit different is a pigeon pose? Something with the shin across the body to stretch the glute

[@iRobbyOng]

Thank you.

[@andys121.]

very good 👏

[@karinacassidy1989]

I just found this channel and subscribed straight away 👌👌👌 I’m 35 y/o, zero flexibility, zero strength, veeeery little fitness experience, but, after losing some weight, I want to become strong and flexible…I don’t want to be only skinny…but I’ve no idea where to start…all this seems so unattainable 🫤 any tips, or directions to particular videos will be greatly appreciated☺️

[@lazebox1]

That is a happy doggo 😄🥰

[@prakaashmeenaa]

Yes, yoga is the best and effective

[@michal8121]

Do you do some other daily practice like skill training?

[@hossamayman3587]

This background is absolutely beautiful 🤍🩷💮💮

[@Berley_1234]

so is the foreground, watching Tom is like looking at art

[@hossamayman3587]

A complete piece of art 🎨❤

[@daviddavirgi6889]

You are in awesome shape..

[@efebayndr888]

Brillant man

[@pninnabokov3734]

A seemingly undefiled (no apparent tats) muscular body. I'm going to do these! Thank you, Tom.

[@JSInOrbit]

is the order you presented these the best order to do these in? or is there a better order for beginners lacking your athletics?

[@cache780]

Is there a full body workout that focuses on strength & endurance, but also flexibility & mobility? I used to do; -overhead press, floor press (with glute bridge) -back rows -deadlifts -split squats -sometimes a carry exercise. Should I just do things separately?

[@Astijfequn]

I am at the peak of my I Have No Mouth But I Must Scream fleshy blob era but have been doing these for a few days now, I already feel a bit more flexible and I'm finding them really good to just build the exercise habit so thanks a lot for this video :)

[@user-ud9jx6vi8b]

where did you get the pants and shoes?

[@efebayndr888]

Or mobility exercise?

[@LL-ls1um]

Please do like an hour long full hip mobility video 🥲🥲

[@benjordanbaxter2263]

Where you at? I live in Valencia Spain. If you ever need a spot, let me know and come over.

[@LucasW.B]

By the recent videos it gave me vibes of Malaga but that's just a guess

[@BodyweightWarrior]

@@LucasW.B Malaga was before, good spot. Currently in the west coast of Portugal

[@leoceoliveira]

Beautiful dog 🐶 lovely

[@aurelgegiu2792]

Foarte inportant 👍💪🏾❤🌏👏

[@alanequi2786]

Every day? Whatever warm-up is needed for pancake and press HS, from which I drop into Wheel Pose, then rotate out to left and right. I do front splits every other day. I can't do middle splits, but hopefully will get them one day. I probably don't work on them as much as I should - too frustrating!

[@mvwxiv]

What are the shoes?

[@mahlubimndai6883]

The shoes name I need

[@brucehelppie6119]

Good video, Tom. I do all of those daily except that first one. I’ll have to add that one to my repertoire.

[@BodyweightWarrior]

🫡

[@JW-pu1uk]

I like to add calf, ankle, and glute stretches in the day as well (strengthen too) in addition to similar stretches here. This will take you all of 10 minutes a day to do and can really make you feel so much better. Sometimes people stretch the hips and lower back but wonder why it may be painful. In my experience, if one part of the chain lacks (like ankles/calves too tight) then it can really bother other parts of the body! Thanks for sharing, Tom!

[@BodyweightWarrior]

I agree, calves are a big addition I would make

[@kevinomahoney]

My dog does the exact same thing when I’m exercising. He grabs his toy, camps out, and initiates a staring contest until I play fetch.

[@oscaralete7707]

As a climber im a huge fan of the frog stretch for opening the hips for small box moves but all these stretches are incredible thanks!

[@divotango5375]

I like your dog 😊

[@ToniGado]

❤

[@user-ov4wr5yu4r]

Do you think I could describe my stretches in a short text comment? 🤣 But a few have names. Not in order. Down dog, thread the needle, cobra, splits with bunch of variations, windshield wiper, jambe a la main, plough, etc. RDL, but is it a true stretch? 🤔 I do warmups first. No names though. And actually I do a few slow controlled situps first of all to get blood circulating and foot circles right at the start.

[@Anna-vl2gt]

Thx! Could you do a follow along 🙏🤩

[@palanigowrinath4871]

Which country is this ?

[@manishtandel4199]

How many hours does he work out every day on average?

What is that shoe Brand/Model?

[@BodyweightWarrior]

Vivo Motus Strength. There is a discount in the description 👍

You look pretty youthful. Is there much hope for men who tend to be gym averse, in suboptimal shape and now in their forties?

Calf stretches are a daily.

😂 every time I put it on the same thought goes through my head

[@foophonic]

Aww, poor pup. Just wants to play.

She gets lots of play 🤣

Don’t have anything to hang from 😢

Can’t take my eyes off the dog…

[@hempseedaddict]

But don't those require blue shorts? 😜

[@BodyweightWarrior]

They’ve been retired 🥲

[@FifthKnowledge]

Nice ideas, but too much yoga style for me. I prefer more disciplined moves such as in martial arts. Nice channel though!

[@partyhard455]

May balls hurting watching at the first position 😂

[@bellysize]

love hour dog. a great friend
