===========================
Have you ever searched for “stretching routines” or “stretching exercises” here on KZbin?
I mean - I understand the importance of stretching as well as anybody, but I don’t feel like you should have to be a yoga master to do it and enjoy it!
Even some of the “beginner” routines out there are way too complex!
That’s why in this video I wanted to share with you a simple-to-follow 8-minute stretching routine that ANYONE can do at home to improve overall flexibility and mobility.
You won’t find any crazy positions or complex transitions in this video… just some simple stretches designed to decrease tension and pain in all the major muscles and across all the major joints in your entire body.
This is the perfect routine to increase your range of motion, cool down after a workout, or decrease tension and pain that comes from long hours working at a desk.
Hopefully by the end of the routine you feel loosened up, stretched out, and more mobile than when you started.
So clear a little room on the floor and let’s get to work!

I'm 23 years old and can't touch my toes. I am definitely active and my lack of flexibility is a running joke between my friends and I. I don't want to grow up past the point of no return so thank you for a genuinely beginner-flexibility routine

[@artvandelay3840]

I've never been able to touch my toes, and I think some people just can't due to their build.

[@flamerider714]

@Art Vandelay I used to tell myself that that was true but I was lying to myself. I used to touch my toes and be extremely flexible as a kid and it's purely my lack of practice that has made me inflexible. Keep up the work and I'm sure you can get flexible too!

[@b_drizzle3857]

Yeah I can't touch my toes and I'm 17 and very skinny with long legs

[@MaxM-xg8vm]

This comment made me laugh. Flexibility is something me and my brother joke about a lot as we both go to the gym and are in good shape but can’t move properly 😂. Good luck it’s not a very long process becoming flexible. Do it every day for a few weeks/months and you will feel significantly better.

I finally did it. I am 19 years old and after stretching every day for 3 months straight I have no more neck pain, back cramps and I can reach my toes! To everyone that thinks they can't do it, just be patient and stay disciplined! -Edit: For the people asking how I do it. I do this stretching routine every morning after showering cold, sometimes a second time before bed if I am feeling stiff. I do change it up sometimes and don't exactly follow the instructions, its good to keep variations, for example: - The hamstring stretch i replaced with a sitting hamstring stretch and using a resistance band to pull myself to my toes. - The neck stretch i replaced with a butterfly stretch. - I added a straddle stretch. - For the shoulders, back and chest, I hang with one arm with my feet on the ground and try to relax myself and get as stretched as possible; its important to have your feet on the ground for a relaxed and controlled stretch. I am a calisthenics athlete and stretching is very important, to avoid pain and muscle cramps

[@mustardseed6323]

Hello, I am 66 years, did this routine for the first time. I have great difficulty getting down on the floor, so I modified by using my bed. Also, when it came to the crossing of the legs, I had to use an extremely modified version of crossing only my ankles, but I think I did manage to get the correct back muscle working. On the one where the right knee goes back and the left knee goes in front, I used a modified version on downward facing dog, where I'm standing, used my kitchen counter for leaning on, put my right leg back with bent knee as far as I comfortably could, put my left leg bent at knee as far forward as I could, then with my back up as far as comfortable, I leaned back and moved my hips forward as far as comfortable, but still stretching the front muscle on my right leg. When doing slight change, I bent my right leg and straightened my left leg to stretch the hamstring on my left leg. I did this by moving my hips backward. These are modifications I learned in a yoga class I was taking before covid hit. Since covid hit, I've been sedentary, sitting at home in my recliner and playing games or watching Netflix on my phone. While playing games on my phone, I ran across an ad for hyperbolic stretching. Sounded exactly what I needed, so searched on KZbin for it and found this video 1st. I really like this video cuz he explains what muscles to stretch and cuz of my yoga class, I knew the modifications I needed to do to get the job done. My current goals are to be able to pick stuff up off the floor with ease, be able to put on my socks with ease, and tie my shoes with ease. Thank you for sharing this. I'm hoping to do this as many days in a row as I can. Will try to let you know how it goes after 1 week.

Much appreciated. I recently got a health wakeup call after making good progress last year and falling off the wagon completely. The first stretch routines I tried were all for fit people about to start intense workouts. I just needed one to get me started before some basic stuff as I ease myself back into exercise and weightlifting. This one's a keeper. Easy, can be done anywhere, and I feel like I'm accomplishing something without overdoing it.

Fellow 40 year old.. I feel your pain.. Have you been keeping up with it? Any improvements?

[@surviveitforbeginner]

@@dtrainw so I haven’t kept up with these routines every day but most every day. I’m feeling better. For my daily workout I do 50 push ups 2 sets of 25, 50 squats usually split up into 2 sets, 3 minutes of plank all done from my knees (push ups included) because of lower back pain and 2 miles on my elliptical. I don’t have much time to block off an hour straight for fitness so at work I’ll take a break from whatever I’m doing and bust out my push ups for the day, then later the plank I’ll do squats or calf lifts while I wait for something. Basically I had to get over worrying about people looking at me weird for doing my exercises. I’m a auto tech so I can do all these exercises in my stall. My current goal is to get sub 200lbs and not be self conscious this coming summer when I take my kids to the neighborhood pool. I’m also doing keto but my weight loss has plateaued over the past few weeks so currently working on figuring out what to change to get past this. My recommendation is do what you can when you think about it don’t wait to do those push ups squats or plank, when you think about it stop what your doing and bust it out. I’ve also realized it’s a lot more mental than physical to lose weight and feel better you have to want it more than your favorite food or dessert and be mentally strong enough to say no even when someone brings in awesome looking tacos for lunch when you know that will set you back. You got this!

I am turning 12 this year (just about to graduate primary school) and this really helps me with my mood.I’m so happy I found this because before, I used to be a total couch potato . I also do figure skating, my posture is usually so stiff but now it has improved thank you 😀

[@olivia35128]

I am proud of you! Keep exercising because you will reap the benefits for your entire life. Good posture will help you develop well and to also be more confident. You got this my friend 💛

Sedentary life leads to depression and weight gain. The key is exercise for you. Take a dance class a pop up class by yourself Go for a walk with your parents on Sunday morning walk 3 blocks and back

[@cvzdez]

Ps I am proud of you too

[@queeniman5430]

I love how beginner friendly these stretches are and not some video that lol have me stuck in some pretzel 🥨 position lol. I am definitely going to implement these stretches daily to increase my mobility. Thanks for taking time to make this video 😊

[@toneandtighten]

You are welcome! I am glad you enjoyed it.

[@s.vektor]

the pretzel comparison 😂😂

[@abedj1220]

love this video and looking forward to the others you mentioned. I am going follow this daily. thanks for sharing.

[@LAWhite21702]

This is what I’ve been looking for🎉. My favorite exercise class never came back after Covid. It kept me focused. I hope this will get me back to a regular exercise routine. My muscles are so weak and sore that I can’t imagine trying strength training this time.

[@toneandtighten]

I hope so too!

Loved this after a intense strength workout!

[@toneandtighten]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@miyakiyoomi1513]

Really helpful vid! I've been in a depressed state since I graduated and it took a toll in my physical health. Decided to change my lifestyle by starting with stretches and removing the kinks all over my body. Will continue to watch more of your vids!

[@toneandtighten]

I am so glad you found this helpful and thanks for your support!

[@Music-Man189]

I really love your videos, your knowledge, and your love of healthy minds and bodies. In my opinion, one thing that could improve the production of these videos: sound absorption tiles to reduce echo when you're talking. Just a small note. Keep up the amazing work!

[@toneandtighten]

Oh wow! This is amazing, Greg! And THANK YOU so much! I greatly appreciate the "tip" and hope to be able to continue to serve you in the future. I actually have quite a few sound absorption tiles in my gym... there are just too many mirrors and the floor is hard rubber. I'll have to play around with even more blankets and see if I can minimize the echo further. Thanks for the feedback. 👊🏼

Fantastic set of stretches. And everyday routine, nothing to crazy or weird.

[@desirayarmstrong2025]

Thank you for this video. I used to be very active and found myself at 40 not where I want to be. Slowly beginning to get back into some type of exercise routine and love this stretch first thing in the morning. Thank you

[@toneandtighten]

You are welcome! I hope you see great progress with this!

[@maramandme]

i’m 21 and after the legs stretching exercises my legs started shaking, this is my first time doing such thing, i’ll try to continue doing this. plus, i realized i needed a mat because my knees literally cracked multiple times because of the stiff surface i was stretching in.

[@alicepersson9568]

Soft surface under is indeed important.

[@TheSweGoose]

Giving you a notification to make sure you haven’t given up ❤

[@meem1128]

U can do it on ur bed if u didn’t get a mat

[@toneandtighten]

So - how flexible are you?! Where are you the tightest and what do you need the most help with? COMMENT below and let me know if you liked this video and how I can help you in the future! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 (Also - not a bad idea to supplement your stretching with some consistent core strengthening. Here's a 6-minute core routine I recommend: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pnvTYWuposmWfM0 )

[@faheemmohammad4144]

Hi sir. I woke up daily with lower back Stiffness and it continues the whole day. When I try to bend my back for a while then it takes time to get back to the same position. Please suggest me what to do sir?

This video is right on time I'm in bed in Florida being lazy because of the chill weather I'm on it this is confirmation for me my back hurts so I'm going to do something about it give me a nice stretch

I just had a right-side hip surgery, presently doing therapy, how long until I can go past 90° angle I have been stiff for years want to get flexible.

What a great way to spend 8 mins. Was looking for some easy quick stretches to do and these are great. Thank you!

You are welcome! I am so glad you enjoy it.

[@Skylerdouglas731]

Thank you for posting this video! I just started my fitness journey at 21, and I've been noticing a whole lot of tightness, locking, and shocks throughout my body. I just completed a circuit and already feel a little better.

[@toneandtighten]

You are welcome! I am so glad you are finding this helpful!

[@discgolf449]

You know it’s bad when this is a struggle 😂

[@noybass4361]

I love this routine! I am getting close to doing it for a full week and I feel better! Just a small suggestion, I think it would be great to take 5 second breaks between each exercise so that I could get to the position to do the stretch:] that would improve the time I'm stretching for me! Thank you!

[@stopgotdamndeletingmycomme8642]

Or heres a suggestion-u could pause the vid whilst u get into position?

[@simransaini9468]

This exactly

[@jenniferzumwalt147]

For some people they might get discouraged having to pause the video every 30 seconds. I think it's a great idea for there to be a pause for people to get situated.

[@MisterWatermelon]

When I was in high school, we stretched every single day during marching band. It got to the point where I could sit on the floor, grab my foot, and place it behind my neck (that's impressive to me). Now, 8 years later, my body is as stiff as a board. I gotta start stretching again. 😂

[@wrwhitson]

60 years old and trying to get back in shape. Day 1 went well, so we will see how it goes. I like that this video starts you out with basic stretches and less than 10 minutes. Try it out for a couple of weeks then see if I can add to it, maybe some core exercises. Thanks!!

[@toneandtighten]

Awesome start! Keep it up!

[@wrwhitson]

9 days in and I missed one day. I have found my concentration on each exercise is better and the hamstring and piriformis are the hardest for me. I did add in a couple of days of your 6 minute core exercise. I am going to incorporate that in this week also. Your videos are just what I needed to give me a push to get in shape again. I think this is a great beginner routine. Thanks again.

[@SafeRemain]

@@wrwhitson any updates?

[@wrwhitson]

Still going strong. I have made a few adjustments such as standing while doing the last neck stretch. Also added a couple I used to do before my job as a grocery order filler. One is just laying on back and bringing knees into chest and rolling back and forth to warm back up. It does add time to routine though. Still I think this video is great and you can easily expand on if you want. Thanks again

[@wrwhitson]

Also love the 6 minute core exercise.

[@worldbuilder9971]

😂😂 Oh I've never heard the "wooden pole" analogy... but it's a GOOD one! Consistency is key, Anna... come back and do these regularly and I know you'll make good progress over time.

@@toneandtighten The "wooden pole"was what my grandmother used to say when I was a child. "Walk as if you had swallowed a wooden pole!"she used to say to make me walk "like a proper lady"🤣🤣🤣.
