The real hero

[@aizawasuki]

This guy’s a total sensei. Almost every stretch he’s taught is a total relief to many of my muscles that are oftentimes ignored or undiscovered (?) !

[@30m3]

I've been doing a dead hang every morning for years now. It's so good for as you say decompressing the spine. It also improves your grip strength. You don't have to do a full dead hang to get the decompression, leaving your toes on the ground works too.

[@Mehru_Ikram]

A very genuine person professionaly who gives all information effective and productive commendable heads off !

[@joybwiza]

Glad to see that I was already doing 2 out of these! I tend to vary routines per day, but I feel that I could benefit a lot from a daily neck and shoulder routine to release the tension from my neck and avoid migraines more

[@noralynpropps2327]

I love the pancake stretch. I've been doing it regularly to help me achieve my middle split. Another is low lunge. Two of my favorites. Thank you for sharing Tom!

[@aidancullen6068]

Never heard about hanging being a great stretch! Can't wait to add it into my day.

[@BulgBeats]

Great Stretches Thanks 🙌🏼

[@WorkoutUnionPT]

Nice ideas! Those are quick, ans simple! Most of them you can do it from time to time during your day - so pratical! Keep going Tom!

[@kirstymacfarlane1620]

I love reclined butterfly is one of my faves and supported bridge. There's a few I do every night but I do like the look of the pancake stretch! I don't know if you practice or teach yoga but you should because you're not egotistical and that's so important in a yoga practice to avoid injury above all. If only more people knew that, more people would practice. I've got mobility issues and deal with pain 24/7 but I love yoga and only one yoga teacher has made me feel less than. I'm doing my yoga teacher training and I've vowed that I'll never make a student feel the way she did. Love your videos

Your video was at the bottom of a page about a completely different subject that I was reading on Google. Since I like strecthing and want to remain flexible and increase the flexibility that I have I clicked on the video. I was impressed so I immediately subscribed. Looking forward to future videos from you. And to watch a lot of your previous videos as well.🙂

[@gymdevil]

Resistance band pulled apart by hands and rotating overhead behind back, pulls shoulder blades together as well....great for shoulder health...

[@kimcapies4276]

Love your content ! keep them coming .. I have been watching and during some of your stretches since last week

[@joshuagarcia5822]

Thank you! I am trying to stretch more this year and your channel has been a great resource.

[@AbdallahMassoud1]

I just want to thank you very much for these routines and stretches, I did not stretch at all before and did not know how to stretch, but your videos have been the sole help! I still refer to your morning routine just about every day and am even getting my dad and friends to do them as well! My body feels much better, thank you!

[@kcbrandao3802]

I have a bad hip that likes to lock up if I stay in one position really long. So when I wake up I do the hero stretch. It has done an amazing job keeping my leg mobile. So I am pretty excited to try your suggestions. Thank you for your videos and time.

[@Maximumstreetball]

Hi Tom, I just want to say thank you so much for this video. I know previously you've discussed doing more active stretches first thing in the morning but I actually really love doing yin yoga when I wake up in the morning with a coffee on rest days, and adding in a few of these passive stretches has been absolutely lovely!! Hip stretches are great too. If you have any more suggestions I'd love to see another video just like this (prefer these than follow-alongs as I don't like to switch on any devices in the early am). Thank you! Dawn x

[@spinnettdesigns]

This is so helpful and encouraging, thank you! I actually find myself doing these but not as regularly and thoroughly as I want to. Splendid reminder, thanks agsin

[@catarina8875]

Hey, great video. For beginners It would be useful some quick follow along routines, 5/7 minutes long, for every day.

[@hadihadihadi]

He has a couple!

[@vivekrazdan7316]

Last 2 of these are the stretches I do every time I do yin yoga. Actually these kind of relaxed stretch poses is what yin yoga postures is mostly composed of. Love your videos regardless and that starting music of your channel always puts me in a great mood 😌. Maybe you can also add a 20 minute meditation practice in your routine as well 😁.

[@MindStrongSport]

Great stretches Tom. Hits so many good spots!

[@solsbarbers]

So glad I found your channel Tom. I'm 51 and I don't think I stretched very well all my life the only time I was flexible was when I was an amateur boxer at 14, but since I've started some of your excercises I'm noticing some improvements already particularly around hips and hamstrings, I aim to get my hands flat on the floor with knees straight lol! I love the look of the hanging stretch just need to try and see if my chandler's can take my weight lol!

[@kexoth]

Coming from yoga I find stretching quite important for calisthenics & in general for a healthier posture. I'd put a bit more accent on lower back stretching perhaps, i.e. beside the pancake I'd also include the plow pose (Halasana) for that area. Otherwise great compilation Bodyweight Warrior, keep it up, both the content & the moustache 🙌🏻 👨🏻

[@TheMisterTaichung]

Tom, I haven’t checked out your content for some time (shame), but this has been super helpful and I’m back to being a Bodyweight Warrior.!

[@jeremyparrish7939]

Thanks, I like these everyday stretches, I learn some tips to do stretches with variations and using assisted supports for better stretching. Feels good, keep up the good work.

[@jackeckardt6111]

Nice one Tom. I do daily to counter lower back pain 1. Lunge stretch for hip flexors and 2. Pigeon pose. Think I got both from you. I swear by them. Will try these too. Thanks

[@davidabad469]

(The word "everyday" is an adjective, whereas "every day" is a noun phrase that can function as an adverb; so when Tom says "stretches I do everyday" he means "stretches I do every day".)

[@lisushka]

Love your work! These are brilliant, good reminders thanks Tom!

[@oliverisaacs7178]

Been using your follow alongs for a while - thanks for those - they’re amazing. I have a request - please can you do a short (5-10 min) full body post work out static stretch/cool down routine that can be used after a work out like CrossFit. Thanks again for all the amazing content

Nice staches, ehm, stretches! 😉 I always start incorporating stretches in my routine and always end up giving up on them.. I have to embrace the suck!

[@eaglevision8433]

Thankyou Tom! Really helped 💪🤙🙏

[@jjhbball]

It isn't a stretch, but doing the fire hydrant leg raise out to the side has been amazing. My groin tight and stretching it has not helped much, but reciprocal inhibition through stimulating the external hip muscles has been nice. I also like the half-splits switching between plantarflexion and dorsiflexion. But I'm def going to try these. Love the nod to hanging, too.

[@Saiarts_yt]

I like to stretch anytime that I can. For living a longer life, but also I am mobile, flexible, and agile. Thanks to you Mr. Tom Merrick for giving me these stretch ideas. p.s. I had people looking at me and some homeless saying I look like a Mike Tyson but he's different. 😂😂😂😂

[@Saiarts_yt]

stretches I recommend are pike hold, bridge, butterflies (pancake), single leg downward dog, and cossaic-spider man stretch.

[@gerrykarnish]

Great! I've been doing your 15 minute mobility almost daily since 2018. I'll probably add some of these. Love your channel!

[@renatomarino421]

Could you do a mainly low/mid/upper back stretching follow along? Would be put use, thx.

[@AndrewMcNairRatcliff]

Would love to see a follow-along version of these. I use your other follow-along videos to help me pace - otherwise, I rush through or skip stretches. Also, the moustache is looking good.

[@G14_Spike]

I am aware of you other follow along videos but may you do a follow along casual one for all these 5 stretches please🙏?

[@petermarshall7882]

All good moves, Thanks. I have large kyphotic angle so any help on that is welcome. Considering this my hand stand not bad, but find it hard to hit that sweet balance spot regularly. When I do, it's so easy to hold, just like being glued in one spot, but this only happens once in 50 attempt. Keep the good advice coming. (Peter, Australia, 64 years)

[@zainalam6903]

5:13 Is new And feels so good if you have a rounded shoulder

[@V4D2]

These are pretty solid. Thanks man ;) I like one you also mentioned on another video that consists in twisting while lying down. Legs in a 4 shape, arms stretching in T shape and the chest looking up with the shoulder blades trying to stay glued to the ground, namely the one that is farther from the upper knee. Cheers from Portugal ;)

[@hadihadihadi]

Thank you for the routine, Tom! In the hero pose, when laying back almost fully, is it a concern for the knees that the upper and lower of each leg aren’t exactly parallel?

[@CominAtYa54321]

Stretches for the lower half of your leg, so for your gastrocnemius, soleus, tibialis anterior etc.

[@MinhThu-nj7zi]

Should I foam roll before stretching??

[@kove5762]

5:49 Ever time i try to strech like this i feel like the upper area near unkles is about to break or explode? What casues it? :(

[@someguy2249]

That glute stretch is amazing! I can't believe I hadn't tried that one! Also, do you find that on that first posture stretch that your thoracic spine pops the first time you do it for the day?

[@maik8167]

is it necessary to warm up before streching?

[@sandroboraita517]

No, it isn’t. Anyways, you have to be careful and do gentle moves and do not force your body, you don’t have to feel any pain, that’s important. But the most important thing is being consistent, you can achieve everything that you want. *It will be “harder” (ROM reduced because of no movement when sleeping) if you do it just after waking up but I love doing it in the morning because when you complete it you really feel like new.

[@mauiswift6391]

It’s recommended, active stretching would be better.

[@mrmushin1]

Yes, think of the muscles like metal to forge it to you want. You have to heat the up for optimal development

[@BodyweightWarrior]

Nah but range will improve if you do

[@suzelda4410]

I love supine spinal twist !

[@timdenny1991]

I hear different things about stretching. Does it matter time of day morning/evening or before/ after eating? What is your thought? Like all of your vids! Thank you!👍🏻👍🏻

[@petrosmarkantonakis6882]

Should we do a warm up before stretching?

[@bd11777]

Where did you get ur bolster from?

[@jorgemiar]

Any experience/research you’ve done on stretches with lumbar pain/herniated discs? Bending forward is normally not recommended...think this year with quarantine has reduced my mobility a lot so feel lumbar pain much more easily

[@bogdanradulea4700]

Hey Tom, I hope you shoulder is getting better 💪

[@ElogantFitness]

jacked MR.BEAST!!! just subbed man!!

[@natik111]

Is it okay to bend your legs a bit if the pull up bar is too low to dead hang? or does that lose the spinal decompression effect?

[@leinadllerp]

bending ur knees obviously impacts ur spine big time

[@barbaraott407]

@@leinadllerp why?

[@BodyweightWarrior]

Of course, all good. Can add a “hanging cobra” for extra effect (KZbin search that on)

[@childofgod1226]

Thanks Tom.

[@krystofmandlik8875]

When hanging, do you keep your shoulders and scapulae tight to keep your joint centered or just relax completely? :)

[@CleitonBispo]

Great question.

[@fitat4224]

I tighten my scapula otherwise after a while I started to get shoulder pain

[@ja1212az]

Very useful, thanks

[@tommygunTW1]

These are great. Especially hanging which is so often over looked. I just thinking you missing something for hamstrings.

Ido portal squat routine 2.0 i suppose is all time classic including hanging for breakfast especially!

I’ve had a strain in my inner groin since august when gyms reopened. Been bugging me. Stretching a lot. Last night I sat put my leg a certain way and put resistance and my groin make a crack pop sound is that bad?

I did posture hold and I fainted, the next second I found myself on floor, with all kind of tastes in my mouth, and pain in my head. So, guys, if you try to do these, do not force yourself, go calmly or you might get in the same situation as I. Keep yourself safe kings
