Girl, I just love love love ya! I have been 'googling' for MONTHS looking for EXACTLY and precisely what you just showed us in the video. Thank you so much for giving us all some excellent 'ways' to start our days. Speaking of..............may your day be abundantly blessed.

[@redefiningstrengthOC]

Aw yay! I'm so glad the video helps!

[@ModernClassic4953]

Hip flexors that where I need to focus on, specifically my left hip seems stiff or sore. Thank you for addressing the issues getting going, it's a process sometimes.

[@redefiningstrengthOC]

Sometimes imbalanced prehab is key focusing on even just relaxing one side as you activate the other even!

[@jodiyoungsymfitness.online1692]

I really enjoy your videos! Well presented, informative without excessive overtalk - I appreciate that THE MOST & obviously the movements/workouts are great! Thx!!!

I'll say it again : Cori is the Queen of Fitness Comedy on KZbin. The opening absolutely reminded me of Enchanted. Amy Adams would love Hughie too I'm sure.

This is so great I’ve been going to the gym for 5 years now and none of the instructors explain like u do..thanks

[@newts4719]

Maybe a guess but I suspect they are too young to appreciate the importance of these brilliant videos. They are taking the easy way out of showing people what to do and not what people NEED to do. I was guilty of this many many years ago. I would approach my clientele differently now if I was back there. It's been said before but this channel is pure gold.

[@riniwasu9347]

I follow and perform all your stretches regimen in the morning ...I don't have any aches or pains anymore ..you explain so well..Thankyou 💗

[@beulahgirl9]

OMG that TFL release feels so good! I've been having left hip pain from running longer distances, and have been doing gluteus medius strengthening exercises, but adding this ball release to my stretch just immediately felt so much better--thank you Cori!!!

Im gonna get some pjs that can double up as exercise kit. Thank you for this much needed nudge.

The dog in video...adorable.

Hi Cori, just discovered your videos a few days ago and i'm immediately drawn to them because of the scientific and efficient approach to each execise movement. I'd love to see some for 60years old and above if you will. Thanks.😊🙏

[@camelsheit_on_the_walls446]

OK, I have now watched the intro some 7 times, the stretches 1 time and the outro 3 times, and I must say, Kiwi is the greater actor! She's a natural. She even seemed authentically alarmed by that, ahem, alarm. He he what a great intro indeed! Thank you both for the smiles 😊 💖

[@redefiningstrengthOC]

Dude she is the best actor. And her "fear" was real. That's my actual alarm and she jumps on me EVERY morning to shut it off haha

[@camelsheit_on_the_walls446]

@@redefiningstrengthOC Your actual alarm! Woah, if you need that sound to wake up you must be sleeping too well for your own good, or for Kiwi's good, in any case. I bet she would appreciate a little vacation with classical music... 🎼 And this here dudette have now watched the intro some 4 times more 😁

[@rubelukeable]

Great ideas for stretching and activation. Were you using a softball for the TFL rolling?

These are great. I'd add to it that....I love to start and end my days with at least one good Downward Dog...a Happy Baby stretch... and also...to START the day.... dry-skin brushing...gets the blood flowing...sloughs off dead skin...good for the lymph...and it just WAKES UP your skin!

Hi Cori. Would you please let me know the brand of foam ball you are using? Maybe a link? Love the channel...Keith

[@joecampo1770]

Thanks for the excellent tips and great information

[@neuromancer27]

The last glute exercise is gold. Great quality of video as always.

[@anjylkat]

This hip extension is one of the exercises my PT gave me as I am rehabilitating my right leg from a tibial plateau fracture. The video for it is in an app called MedBridge and it shows to stop squeezing (I use a small 8 cm ball to squeeze) and relax your knees once you return to the floor. You said to continue to squeeze the entire time you are performing the lifts, right? I am just curious as to what the difference is. Seems your way may be better so I will try it next time. Just found your channel here and really happy I have! I subscribed and am anxious to watch more videos as I am having a great deal of low back pain as I still have quite a bit of a limp when I walk. I have two plates and 9 pins in my leg and it always feels quite heavy with anything I do just about. Also struggling with some balance, too. Can’t WAIT to try the TFL release! Thanks for being here and your wealth of knowledge!

Hi Cory.....just what I needed. I have been religiously doing a number of the workouts you have suggested. My knees are fabulous. Thank you so very much. I am definitely stronger. The stretches you suggest are definitely effective especially rolling right out bed. I will do this routine tomorrow morning..maybe even before bed tonight. Your intro is HI - larious. I had to watch it twice. Take care. Your doggies name is Kiwi?. Too cute.

That spiderman pose stretch is a live saver 🙌 my back used to be feeling stiff after playing basketball. But these stretches have given me more mobility after games ✊. THANK YOU 🙌🙌

[@tA_aT287]

Great video! Awesome job

[@DR-fs9qn]

Thanks Cori these are great! When I do the ‘chest stretch with scorpion’ I can only do these if my arm at the back is straight. Does that make the stretch still effective? I can’t bend my back arm at 90 degrees as you have it. I’m thinking I don’t have the mobility in my shoulders.

[@digitalneko7975]

Just made 50. I do weight training, cardio, calisthenics, and basic yoga once a week to stretch and keep my flexibility. You gave me some great pointers on areas of pain management with a tennis ball, thank you! Subbed!

[@ccardena8262]

Love this and all of your videos. Is this series timed or is it reps? Thanks :-)

[@veraw.9044]

How my rep or how long should each foamroll/stretch/excersize take? I really like these suggestions, they really target my achy areas :) And should foamrolling of my hipflexors hurt as much as it did?

[@bolhm9375]

What a great intro ;D ! Thanks for the this much needed video as I’m sure many of us wake up with aches and pains. One of the stretches i do is your the World’s greatest stretch, including the down dog

Hey Cori.. I have connected here with you before.. now my 32 year as a professional fitness educator.. I had complimented you for the caliber of your exercise presentations.. they continue to be impressive.. in this one.. as you explained toward the end of the knee squeeze/bridge... you cued to '..maintain posterior tilt as you bridge up..' which was not clearly shown in the final side view.. looked like neutral to me.. what am I missing? Thank you.. 😎🙏💫

[@elliotbryant3459]

Hey Cori, I'm in Maine and now that it's getting cold again I have a hard time getting out of bed in the morning! I was wondering if you had an at home workout you would recommend that would get the body temperature up and running first thing in the morning.

Very useful with clear instructions.is your mat wider than a classic yoga mat ? You didn’t appear to leave the mat.

[@kaleesanino2189]

Love your videos! How long do you recommend holding SMR positions and how long/how many reps do you usually do with the ROM movements?

[@redefiningstrengthOC]

I hold up to 60 seconds but honestly consistency with it as that first step is key so even 30 seconds adds up. I usually honestly do 30-60 seconds for everything based on the time I have. But even just a 5 minute routine makes a difference!

[@Pippipopfugl]

What does smr and Rom mean. I didn't hear her mention that in the video?

[@USMCdad470]

Will try. Very distracting video 😁 but very informative. Thank you for sharing

[@MeimeiLovesmusic]

The Scorpio stretch - left arm on the ground bent at elbow, while right leg crosses over the body- can that arm be stretched straight out? What’s the problem if I can’t bend the elbow laying it flat on the ground? I know I have some back nerve issues that won’t let me do that pose. But if I keep trying maybe it will heal by stretching my nerve/muscle there? Thanks!

[@matthew9488]

great stuff - thanks.

[@roelhoremans5887]

I often have some pain beneath my right shoulder blade. Would you recommend foam rolling for that area too?

[@sonineha0507]

How many reps we have to do and is this has to do 1 set or more than once. I'm beginner like just started exercise. You Can consider like today I'm starting exercise.

[@eskimberly7424]

What kind of ball are you using in this video? Looks like a softball, but I just want to be sure. I’ve been told in the past to use tennis balls for things like this, but the ball you used looks like a better choice.

I stretch at night so I don't feel stiff coming down the stairs in the morning. I going to try some of these techniques at night. I get knotts in my back so will use the tennis ball.
