Great routine. I love that it's something I can actually follow along with as opposed to a list of exercises I have to write down and remember.

[@kellymorrison8156]

Thanks Ryan! My hams are the last of the stubborn muscles that won’t release after my hip surgery. Thanks to your programs I’ve gradually got the deep swat and some of the primal movements are starting to be natural. This is a fantastic tutorial.

[@gmbfit]

They take a long time, at least partly because the modern lifestyle encourages that tightness. You can undo all that in a few minutes, but keep going, and it can improve :)

[@chiara.75]

Ryan 🤩 first if all, thanks to Mr. Bear 🧸 and Mr. Monkey 🐒 for joining you today 😄 those details make the difference 😊 I love playing on the ground, feeling the Roots 😊 thanks for sharing 🙏

[@ryanhurst3068]

Glad you like it!

[@cle7ic]

thanks!

[@petersimon5874]

Thank you.🙂👍

[@kitchenconfessions7136]

I am so glad that I stumbled across your videos. I love how accessable each video is. There's something for everyone! I am beginning to have a deeper connection with my movement and stretching. So thank you so much.

[@programystic]

It's so fun! Thank you a lot! 🙏

[@amapolo7211]

Excelente explanations. Greetings from Spain

[@rajasethu3076]

Thank you Ryan. I started the training today. I feel so goooood. I am a yoga trainer and your training is going to add a new dimension to my training,

[@MichaelKada]

So much fun

[@alemholas]

God this looks so fun. Its been a while since I am exited to try something!

[@gmbfit]

Sweet! Have fun with it :)

[@nhannguyen-cao6485]

This is gold Ryan. True gold. Thank you so much!

[@ryanhurst3068]

Right on! Glad you like it. :)

[@bludog4657]

Greetings from Albuquerque, NM I am going to use this routine at least once a day in hopes that it helps my flexibility through my hips and down. I have lousy knee pain and have been doing research on how it is related to stiffness in the hips and ankles. Thank you for putting this out, all the best

[@gmbfit]

Just be consistent and gradual. A lot of knee pain does come from hip and ankle stiffness, and you'll see we have a bunch of resources for each of those on our channel as well as some good movements for building resilience in your knee joints.

[@GiveMeCoffee]

I was recommended many of these animal like movements close to the floor since I have fibromyalgia and my body is highly adverse to plyometrics, and so far so good!

[@gmbfit]

Plyometrics are really for people who are already very strong.

[@GiveMeCoffee]

@@gmbfit that makes sense 🤣

[@linakoh4206]

Thank you Ryan eversince I found you was a great help for me

[@gmbfit]

Proud to hear that!

[@Espoboogie]

Fun! Fun!

[@gmbfit]

:)

[@tomkirbygreen]

Love it. Thank you Ryan!

[@ryanhurst3068]

Yay! :)

[@lov2playtn]

Awesome instructions! Wonder about your thoughts about walking techniques for us many walkers in the world.

[@ryanhurst3068]

I love walking and go for long walks nearly every day. I say try not to go too fast and focus on mid-foot landing, chest up and head in line, looking foward I throw a weighted backpack on twice a week for fun too. That can also help with posture.

[@lov2playtn]

@@ryanhurst3068 Thank you for the advice. I tried it today and felt improvements in my balance and speed.

[@ryanhurst3068]

@@lov2playtn Right on! Really happy to hear this.

[@sankalpsuryavanshi4788]

What are the best exercises/stretches to learn Splits?

[@gmbfit]

Depends on your current flexibility level, but horse stance is a very good one: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oqnWfqipis-anK8

[@jcepri]

Looks good bit I can't do any of it

[@gmbfit]

What can you do then?

[@Arthax83]

I want to buy Integral Strength, but I realize I need to buy Elements 😊

[@gmbfit]

Most people think they don't need Elements. Elements is made specifically for those people ;)

[@mbogucki1]

Is there something...easier than this? 🙁

[@kellymorrison8156]

You can totally make this easier yourself. Just go into each motion carefully and to the extent that is comfortable for you!

[@JNearzy]

All of these have regressions! In the elements course there usually show someone doing the movements that isn't as flexible as Ryan which is helpful. The short version is to not go so deep into all the movements or use elevation for your hands. Also you can bring your heels up in the squat, that takes a long time to build up to. I've been working on it for months and I'm still not there!

[@Miss_Elaine_]

Start with the Bear... You can look up an example here with regressions. I've been working on just one movement, the Bear, for a few months now. I have fibromyalgia and I have to go SLOW. I got half way through this one! Woo hoo! I'm hoping to be in shape enough for Elements this fall.

[@gmbfit]

Easier in what way? Easier than crawling? Or easier than crawling like a person who has been training for forty years?
