20 Minute Full Body Flexibility Routine! (FOLLOW ALONG)

[@BodyweightWarrior]

For those of you finding this routine too challenging, there is now a 15 Minute Beginner Routine available here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gpDbo3d3qd6eg6s Don't forget you can download a PDF of the full routine in the description. Happy stretching :)

[@mayen655]

It's terrific! I enjoy following along, it's always easier for me to do any sort of exercise when I am "with" someone else. Also, you seem to be enjoying yourself, if I can put it that way. ☺ That's cool!

I've been doing the 15 min routine, and now I'm ready to try the more challenging one! I love your videos.

[@choowygamerz]

Tom Merrick Thank you so much! This is a great video, I think there may have been a mistake at 8:36 where you say to raise your right hand but raise your left. It could probably be easy to fix by just sticking one of those grey stickies on that point of the video saying left hand or if you think it's small enough you could just leave it. Thank you for the stretching video!

Exercising can be hard sometimes but It always makes me feel better. Last year I had almost 450 lbs in body weight. One day I just started moving more, then slow running then I started doing weighted exercises and I was eating clean by following meal plan I got from site Next Level Diet. Today I have 250 lbs and I am happy like I never been in my life.

[@-Aidan]

Didn't realize how unflexible I was until I tried this! going to be doing this daily for the next few months, I'll keep you up to date with how it's going! thank you!

[@-Aidan]

It's been just over two weeks and I've been doing this stretch every day! I did miss 2 or 3 sessions I believe but I have already had a lot of progression! the stretch 10:00 minutes in, the first time I tried this I could not get both of my elbows on the floor originally I could get my outer arms elbow on the floor but not the inner one example would be at 10:00 the left elbow is the inner elbow, but now I can get both of my elbows down no problem and I'm getting an even better stretch! secondly the stretch at 12:15 this one has to be my favourite because of how much I can feel the stretch, only within the last couple of days on the 3rd/4th breath I have been able to just grab my toes finish the stretch, as where the rest of the time I've been having to hold my ankles! Last but not least the stretch at 17:33... my god what is this? so I cannot spread my legs at all that wide so I decided to sit in the position where you stretch your groin, sitting down with the base of my feet touching, over the last week i've been able to lean a lot further forward replicating the stretch the best I can, there has been a lot of progress but much more to come! I look forward to these stretches every day, I always break a sweat and in the final squatting moment I find myself saying "Cheers Merrick, I'll catch you tomorrow!" ahaha! I've just finished todays stretch and decided to update my comment, time for my cold shower! I'll be back again in another few weeks with another update! thanks again.

[@Fun4Films]

Happy youre doing it! Keep it up, and us updated

[@lighttecdark3504]

Thanks for comments man

[@-Aidan]

Alright I'm back! at this point I haven't missed a single day of stretching, it has become a habit. It takes 26-30 days to create a new habit and I've done just that! So my flexibility has increased a lot and I do overall feel more... liquid-like I dnoo lol but I do feel a lot less stiff etc. Over this time the Pike has become my favourite stretch as I've seen the most progression in this as well as it being the most "painful" for me atleast and I feel great after it each time, last time I posted it was only on the 3rd/4th breath I was grabbing the tips of my toes during the pike, now I can lean in and grab my feet that my fingers go over my toes and touch the arches of my feet and I do this for each breath. I'm still having trouble with the Pancake, when i stretch out my legs I can't remember the name of the muscle but on the inside of my thigh, it is SO TIGHT! though I have been repeating the same method as I mentioned last time "so I cannot spread my legs at all that wide so I decided to sit in the position where you stretch your groin, sitting down with the base of my feet touching, over the last week i've been able to lean a lot further forward replicating the stretch the best I can, there has been a lot of progress but much more to come! " with this I have been able get deeper into this stretch as well as having my knees closer to the floor, I'm also looking into different stretches to try and help me complete the pancake. I recommend deffiently sticking to stretching, specially as it's ONLY 20 minutes a day!? such little time of your day to give you such positive effects. Thanks Merrick & best of luck to everyone stretching! I'd recommend mend treating the stretch similar to mediation (this is basically yoga) but focusing your mind on the present, on each stretch and breath, if your mind wonders off and starts thinking about "ooo what am i gonna do after this stretch" just bring your mind back, the simple act of being aware that your thoughts have drifted off is a type of meditation in itself, I even recommend mediating everyday and treating it like brushing your teeth, your brain is a muscle and should be respected and treated properly! take care everyone -Aidan x

[@-Aidan]

@Ed Bedhead For sure! I've managed to create a much better form for my squats and deadlift which both complement each other & only leads to more gains haha!

I've been doing this stretching routine every morning for about a month. I feel more mobile, more active, more loose, and just healthier in general. I was in excellent shape in high school but have been neglecting my physical health for a few years now. Your videos have really helped me move forward with getting back into peak physical shape. Thanks a lot man.

[@johannes01]

Are you just stretching or also exercising?

[@iFizzYz]

Started using Tom’s flexibility routine at the start of January due to a bulging disc injury that I’ve suffered with for the best part of 2021 and although difficult and slightly painful at first after consistently doing at least his 15 minute routine daily I’m nearly back to full strength. I will add to that I was also cycling or walking for 45 minutes a day along side this to help rebuild. With the consistent stretching and movements it’s allowed the nerve to be released within my lower back as well as strengthen the muscles around it. I highly recommend if you have lower back issues. Also add some cobra’s into the session as they also play a massive part in the recovery. For the sake of 15-20 minutes a day I will continue to do this for the foreseeable future as the benefits out way the time taken 10x over! Your body will thank you when you’re older wish I had started soon Thank you Tom for the video

[@yenehabte4539]

I started dong this Flexibility Routine a couple of weeks ago and I mad at myself for not starting it sooner.

That was a couple of years ago, I’ve run a few half marathons since, and running my first full one next year.

Thanks for all the help, I’m going to try to build this into my daily routine and hopefully see some improvements. Keep up the great work!

I’ve been doing this damn near daily, after a lower lumbar injury. You have saved my soul Tom. I feel so much better physically ESPECIALLY being a food service delivery driver.

Ok, hello and thank you for this. I don't know how I found this, it's a bit random for me but I like it. I wanted to ask if there are any health warnings attached to this routine - and maybe I should have... Sorry for this long comment/question... I am a 45 year old 'homesteader' moved to the wilds of NE Poland. I'm 6ft and 70kg. I've had occasional injuries over the years. I've been doing the 5 Tibetan Rites every day for the last 6 months (although I learned from you that I need to have my back flat on floor for the leg raises which suddenly makes them much more difficult!) After a week of BWW inspired stretching I've returned to the bad back at night problem that started me off on the 5 Tibetan Rites and I can hardly lie flat on my back in the morning. I'm guessing that I'm doing too much stretching and not enough strengthening. I've found your 3 gymnastic core exercises video and I think that these exercises may be a good part of the solution. I may try to find time to do more exercises, as I need good physical strength and fitness for my life here. Thanks for any comments or suggestions.

44 year old city dweller here. I visited NE poland and loved it. Kayaking all day, Banja Russka and Zubrovka in the evening :-) About health warnings: just listen to your body. When something hurts take it back a notch. Another sign is if you stop breathing while doing an exercices. Take it back a notch and focus on your breathing. You know your body better than any doctor.

Tom, I know this video is older, but I’ve been using this for the past week and I am feeling so much better!

[@kundanagarwal3563]

In flexiblity routine it is important to know every move properly otherwise it will yield no result and even harm the body. And you explain everything perfectly.

TOM, IM STRUGGLING WITH THE PANCAKE :

[@BEL3Gz]

I just tried this and damn I didn’t knew how stiff I was 🤭

[@nannettefarina462]

Thank you for this, Tom. It has gotten my body through the pandemic.

[@juliereyes8783]

My 1st time doing this Video, I’ve been doing the 15 min beginner stretch. I always feel better after I do Tom’s stretching. He’s the bomb!

[@JdMediafilm]

These workouts have really encouraged me and helped my flexibility. I'm a 54 year old fit but inflexible person. I have been doing them now for over 9mths and the more I do them the better I feel. Thanks mate

Thanks!

[@joonlee6962]

Hi Tom, I just wanted to say thank you so much for these videos! I have tried many of your follow along routines, but this is so far my favourite! I keep getting back to this one 😊😊 Thanks again!

[@johannes01]

Good to know! Will try this one

[@jamiesearle4914]

I ought to do this more often. I felt my body getting really tight after a few years of cycling almost daily without proper stretching / warming up as well as other exercises. Every time I follow this routine I feel a billion times better for it. It also helps immensely with my breathing and asthma so I tend to do it when I'm struggling. Thank you so much!

[@christinasteinmannlowry6133]

From stress two years ago my muscles all tightened up so much and I lost a lot of my flexibility. This routine feels so good because you are moving and challenging yourself while also improving flexibility. I can’t wait to see my improvements

[@graceapplebaum9268]

Decided to try out this routine finally. That was kind of a tough one-I'm more flexible on one side. Will definitely do this routine more. Perfect amount of time.
