I love these guys. They are cheerful, humorous, encouraging, and certainly well versed in their profession.

Loved how you're keeping Bob in the videos 🎉 Kudos! Plus I've done several of these stretches *within* my body's ability. Effective!! Love how you show options ❤

❤❤❤Bob, so good to see you, so very special. We love you, Bob.

[@BobandBrad]

Thank you!

[@mademoisellechoko]

Great video and yes thanks for keeping Bob’s smiley face in the videos we still want to see him! He doesn’t even need to say anything to make our day!

[@_velvet_2744]

Remember everyone, the more you exercise, the better you will face old age! Thanks for the tips guys, love seeing Bob at the beginning ❤

[@joseenoel8093]

One older Fed Ex employee told me "The longer you move the longer you can keep moving!" Moving's fine, staying stills a drag, that's where a glass of wine comes in handy!

[@BobandBrad]

You're welcome!

[@ing3666]

I was a belly dancer for years and one of the most beneficial stretches I did and still do is a 90 degree standing stretch. Hands flat on a hip height counter, obviously feet on the floor, bend to 90 degree, feet aligned with shoulders and pretend something is pulling your hip straight back, very little twist. It’s my go to stretch. Shoulders, arms, back, core, hips, hamstrings and calves.

[@BobandBrad]

Thanks for sharing!

[@sumanhv6149]

These postures are there in yogasanas.When combined with proper inhalation and exhalation, they have immense benefits. Thanks for sharing.

[@BobandBrad]

No problem!

[@zuzuspetals8323]

He, he! Best opening ever! Great use of magnifying glasses, Bob! I needed this. Thank you. 😉

[@zuzuspetals8323]

p.s. Is the “Bretzel” stretch ok for those w osteoporosis?

[@BobandBrad]

Our pleasure, thanks for watching!

[@allenantonio4389]

Thanks Brad and Bod...keep moving the body...

[@BobandBrad]

Of course!

[@ek19751]

Thank you so much for everything you guys are doing. You guys should release videos like 'Stretches in your 50s', 'HIIT / Cardio in your 50s', 'Strength training in your 50s' etc. And you could do it for 40s, 60s, 70s as well. I would buy it

[@BobandBrad]

Thanks for the suggestion!

[@patriciaaberth6664]

Oh wow the first exercise is a game changer it has really helped me get out of bed and once I am up no more pain, please try this I'm 65 and it really has taken away my aches and pains. Thank you guys so much. (I use my head board for the exercise, 10 minutes)

[@catherinekasmer9905]

So nice to see Bob. It’s silly but because Bob’s advice on Plantar Fasciitis cured me after 6 months of pain, I think of him as a friend. Your channel is so very appreciated. I truly wish for the best for you all- especially Bob.

[@margaretchayka6878]

Ha, I was JUST coming to look for good stretches, and there you are, providing them (as usual). Thanks.

[@bluecurlygirl]

Me too!

[@BobandBrad]

Happy to be here! 😊

[@sdw1103]

Miss you, Bob.❤

[@debbiewilkinson4277]

Good morning. Great to see the whole gang! I like how there are options shown , for those that can’t get on their knees. Thank you all!😊

[@Rositasparks]

These are absolutely fantastic exercises guys! Thank you! ( I do a few of these already but learned some new takes on many of them) ❤

[@sharonbegay4458]

Watch out for those cramps. For the scratches that are new for u. Good basic stretching 👍

[@doreensherk287]

❤ I like the stretches and am going to start doing the ones I can physically do, thank you once again for sharing.

[@arlahunt4240]

I didn’t know Bob was there! I’m so excited!

[@PragmaticPerson]

Great stretches, references, and show! I appreciate you all.

[@BobandBrad]

Thank you!

[@maricogan2903]

Thank you! Perfect timing. I am a nurse and I'm feeling like a rusty car. I am in my 40+ years of bedside care, now working in a rehab environment. These patients need a lot my energy. I will begin using these 7 stretches after my next two 13hr shifts and let you know how it helps.

[@bluecurlygirl]

Invaluable information here. Thank you so much folks. Great video and one which I will definitely be using on the daily.

[@BobandBrad]

Glad you like them!

[@lynnstillwell2]

Thank you! I already do a few of these but will try some of the ones new to me. I have mild fibromyalgia plus symptomatic sacral Tarlov cysts, and I have to keep moving or my body gets tight and painful all over. PT keeps me pain med-free!🙂

[@BobandBrad]

Happy to help!

Over 50 and pain free ... how I laughed and laughed! Thanks guys.

[@FigaroHey]

I access Bob and Brad and Mike videos or exercises every morning before getting out of bed and it helps so much when I start the day with their stretches. When I'm in a rush and skip days, I have so much more pain and less stamina and less strength going through the day. I need so much for plantar fasciitis and heel spur pain before I even get out of bed. That first exercise was great. I have until November to get strong and pain-free to keep up with much younger people on a pilgrimage to Israel. I'm ordering the first book. These videos and the recommendations of other physical therapists keeps me motivated.

[@BobandBrad]

Glad we could help!

[@nancybowen4213]

Brad…I also have spondylolisthesis and cat/camel is a no no for me…anytime I accidentally do too much overhead reaching or bend backwards ouch! Also I was avid kayak person before this (last year) and stopped. I probably shouldn’t pick up the boat anymore….and I avoid twisting. I did get the ball for that exercise you do….Thanks…Nancy

[@BobandBrad]

Sorry to hear that! Hope you like the ball

[@ellatoler9706]

Bob hasn't lost his sense of humor.

[@BobandBrad]

Never 😉

Thank you for this... i love stretching!!!!!

Glad to hear it!

[@jacqueline6303]

Thank you for these beneficial stretches!

[@Erdos777]

I'm almost 70. I tried this stretch and found it difficult to position my legs against the wall. The mat I used made it difficult for me to get my legs fully against the wall. I do not have carpet. Could you please recommend exercises or a technique to lead up to this exercise. As I tried inching my back forward towards the wall it was pretty difficult. And experienced minor pain in my lower back Thank you. I follow your channel and enjoy the content.

[@BobandBrad]

We'll add it to our to-do list. Just make sure to not continue any exercises that cause you pain!

[@Erdos777]

@@BobandBrad Sounds like a plan! I will hold back on trying out the backflip stretching exercises!

[@gingerclark1058]

Haven't had surgery yet. But the thought of being on my hands and knees makes me want to sign up for amputation 😢

[@BobandBrad]

Oh no!

[@sunshine3914]

Never one to exercise bc I’ve always held physical jobs. However, the other night I had trouble getting up off the floor. So, I’ll give some of these a shot, to see if any help, otherwise, my exercise plan is to practice getting up off the floor every night.😅 12:45 done that stretch every morning before getting out of bed for decades, whether or not I do anything else.

[@bluecurlygirl]

Try some gentle yoga too. Not too strenuous but keeps things moving and great for the mind as well.

[@BobandBrad]

Good luck! If you need extra help, here are a couple videos for you kzbin.info/www/bejne/hJTCdX2EodKhr7M kzbin.info/www/bejne/bX61paaPq6-HqKM

love the Bob and Brad looking at globe. Great to let us know some others that you promote, as I don't want to follow most other videos. Nice to ask Bob about stuff while off screen.

The only time I have a problem stretching is at a restaurant where I'm treating.... It's very difficult for me to reach my wallet.... The older I get the harder it is to make that stretch....

[@nancybowen4213]

Brad…I have spondylolisthesis as you do….bending backwards is a severe no no….I’m always amazed you can do it at times.

Everyone has different symptoms with motion. My Extension pain has improved over the last couple of years. I believe this is from very consistent and specific back exercises I do. See our Playlist on this topic for complete details. Sincerely Brad

Should childs pose be avoided with knee problems like bone on bone/ osteoarthritis? Seems like it would put stress on knee joint.
