Faithful Workouts: Relaxing Stretch Exercise Video

[@mamtajames9428]

I so want videos like this. No meditation no yoga no Hinduism. Exercising while reading the bible verse. This is heaven on earth where people only talk about bible and Gods work. Thank you so much for making such a beautiful channel

[@grandysfitness7145]

AGREED!! Godspeed Faithful Workouts! " )

[@PadiFarmer]

Praise God for this stretching exercise video. Hopefully there will be more stretching exercise like this. While we exercise, we meditate on God's word and God's unconditional love on us.

[@hollytroutman1867]

Thank you sister

[@Rocky-de8jh]

Ballet Cheerleading Gymnastics All these stretches I did. I also use to do Yoga before I was Christian and know that it does open spiritual doors, I’ve seen it first hand. But can we not let the enemy control our fear thinking every stretch we do is a yoga pose. God sees our hearts, pray about it first if you feel convicted. These ladies have Christian music playing and also sharing scripture. God bless you.

[@VivianHart]

Thanks so much for sharing this stretch routine with scripture. It was a blessing!

[@Feraanmii]

SO VERY ENCOURAGING. wow God bless this ministry.

[@psylettagilroy]

This video has been such a blessing. For over 20 years, I practiced many disordered eating behaviors and ultimately began to truly HATE my body and my looks in general. For most of my adult life, exercise has been coupled with these behaviors. For the past three years I have NOT wanted to exercise, but I continued to use the restrictive behaviors in an effort to "control" my weight. In early 2018, I began to realize that I wanted to be DONE with these behaviors. I started working on my body image and the way that I viewed food, but I still had very little desire to move my body at first. In January 2019, I felt led to begin to exercise again and I found your videos. I LOVE that you have a range of levels so that someone like me can begin to get fit again without feeling stressed. Your encouraging words were a balm to my spirit. I have begun using this video every other day and so far I have three sessions under my belt. That's HUGE for me, because every time that I would start a fitness regimen, I would become fatigued, frustrated, and hopeless. Thanks so much!

[@paulagabay9915]

I loved these stretches and great message.

[@clarissahoffer1674]

Love this. My first workout with you and I am grateful our good Lord directed my path to find this workout. :)

[@momsiyeye]

This video was awesome!!!!! Thank you so much!!! It blessed me so much. I will continue doing it and I will invite some ladies to do it together. Thanks again.

[@saharl.simmons4147]

I'm here after learning the truth about yoga and seeking to avoid poses that mimic worshipping Hindu gods. I enjoyed your class but recognized pigeon pose and cobra. How can we be sure that's we're not repeating yoga poses? Is there a guide available somewhere that can show us which poses mimic behaviors of gods or that worship them so that we can avoid doing them? Thank you

[@greenergrass4060]

Literally, we are bound to repeat any yoga pose intentionally, or unintentionally.

[@erikahope8928]

I agree Sahar. I just wanted to stretch. No yoga as I do not want to do anything that's not of God. ✝️

[@sallyshaw7912]

I love it!

[@gisellerichards1147]

Do you have workouts safe/specific for low back bulging discs? No hunchback yoga allowed. Guess one could pick and choose from your workouts what they can and cannot do.

[@spencerschau2741]

Awesome🙏 Thanks 😇 Praising the Lord

[@TinaMiller123]

is any of this yoga? because if so I can't do it and I do not know all the yoga posses to stay away from, thanks.

[@thegreatestislove8604]

Heavenly Peace from what I can tell they are just innocent stretches. I've done yoga as a beginner and I would be able to recognize certain positions. The thing you need to know is that there are a lot of positions in yoga and There are only so many ways we can move our bodies to stretch and yoga cannot claim every way God gave us to stretch.

[@nicolapicola4502]

10:07 is yoga, 11:18 is yoga, 14:59 is yoga, 16:07 is yoga - in fact, MOST of the video from 10 minutes onward is definitely yoga. I did yoga for years and this is definitely yoga.

[@kathleenh7498]

Nikki Moore ...Thank you ? I'm trying to find some non yoga stretching excercises....

[@rhondal8887]

Kitty Kat No ma'am. This is NOT yoga! The problem with yoga is that it isnt just a workout. Its a religion in itself. Its spiritual. But some moves are stretches that anyone would have to do in order to stretch a particular part of the body. Every stretch included in yoga cannot be classified strictly as yoga! A stretch is a stretch. In this video she speaks scripture from the bible and encouraging words throughout. Nikki is absolutely incorrect. And also I do not do yoga either. And this video is perfect for me. It places my mind on God and His word. Which the bible tells me to do. It doesn't cause me to clear my head or perform strange chants (or whatever its called) or anything like that. They are doing basic body stretches. People please stop asking folks and look at this video for yourself. Also research if its important enough to you so you'll know for yourself.

[@rhondal8887]

Nikki Moore wrong

[@greenergrass4060]

Do it for fitness sake. No chanting No meditating No energies or spirituality nonsense

[@chaseramelphillips1136]

I take dance and I do musical theater. I did not want to do yoga or anything like that, so I am blessed that I found this.

[@graciaivahat7121]

I just wanted to share how this video really did more than meeting my physical needs, it actually confirm the heart of God towards His people in South Sudan! Just about every scripture you used in this video the Lord gave them to me early this morning, to pray over our brethren who are being persecuted in South Sudan as we speak! Thank you for speaking it months prior to today's day. Because now God is speaking it over His loves ones on earth at this present time. May the Lord continue to use you through this ministry of yours for His glory as you put your trust in Him! Bless you sister as well as all the subscribers of "Faithful Workouts!"

[@sarahitangelita]

I started working out and stretching but i have three little boys who stare at the tv trying to copy the exercises and i felt convicted and started looking for classes where the instructor is not wearing almost no clothes! Thank you for providing a modest class.

[@faithfulworkouts]

I have heard from so many other moms who say the same thing. I too have 2 sons and I've seen some instructors online who I can't believe what they wear. I don't know how they can even workout in clothes that barely cover themselves. Thank you for taking the time to send me a note.

[@sarahitangelita]

faithfulworkouts thank YOU for providing a better option for christian mothers. God Bless

[@AsToldByKeisha]

I had such a release watching this. I cried and cried and cried all the way through because God has been so good to me and I haven’t always been the best to Him. I don’t deserve His love but He is so kind to me. Thank you for this honestly, I’ve always like the idea of yoga, but I want to honor God in my movements, not idols. This is perfect for me. Thank you for allowing God to use you, I felt His presence all over this! Please continue!

[@kalkidanantonios6318]

I have no words but to say God bless you ! I loved it so much and it was my first time trying this type of exercise. I was not only exercising by reflecting and praying for people .

[@rhondaloftis7325]

I just love the Jesus glow you guys have Faithful work outs! Yall are radiating health, joy and and most importantly the light of Christ. It was such a blessing to stretch with you guys. Thank you😊💜

[@faithfulworkouts]

Glad you joined us Rhonda :)

[@sgusjsk]

Guys be careful the breathing in and out is something that is done in hinduism...please be safe with these there is non yoga type stretching that you can do...just be safe.

[@leigh-annespilman4934]

Breathing in and out is also found in Psalms and is a scientifically proven way to reduce stress and increase circulation... This is not yoga. Athletic stretching and meditative breathing have history in the Christian church as well.

[@sheyennestowe8393]

I absolutely love this! This type of practice reminds me that in every activity I can commune with God.

[@e.loccident]

Thank you so much for this session! It was not only good for my body but also to my soul! God bless you and your ministry!

[@Raquel-smile]

God bless it was truly a blessed workout and a Spititual touch with the word of God. Thank you for sharing!🙏🏼 Praise the Lord!

[@loriannh.8359]

That was a great encouraging message! Thanks!

[@yolandac.2037]

Michelle, I thank God for your words during this workout. It was SUCH a blessing! Thank you for keeping this video up. It’s such an encouraging word. May God bless you abundantly! 💕

[@jgunn03]

Did this video. This was great. It seems like advanced stretching. Great workout.

[@hmurphy4834]

Toda Raba! Thank You very much you have been a great blessing, may our Lord & Savior continue to use you. Praying that I can do this everyday with your encouragement!

[@justinenankinga1831]

Thank you for blessing us with a combined physical and spiritual fulfilling activity. They r rare. I love exercising and I have been looking for such exercises where my spirit is enriched as I exercise.

[@micheleheykoop3376]

The yoga poses like child’s pose really bother me. That pose is a Hindu pose meant to worship Hindu gods.

[@Susiejane3411]

A wonderful to start the day. Thank you!

[@meganelizabeth3115]

Thank you! This was awesome. Loved it! I feel so at peace after this.

[@jasminemonroe304]

Seems like they are close to yoga poses, but not actually yoga poses because they are slightly different. Is this right?

[@Raquel-smile]

Yes they are slightly different but they are workout with bible verse and Godly encouragement. I hope I answered your question.

[@michellemotley796]

Thanks for the mornings stretch with meditation.

[@hadarahbatyah]

Beautiful. I love how you have the scriptures with the stretches. Much appreciated 😌

[@HazelKisakye]

God bless you 🙏 ❤

[@juliaallette2418]

Just what I needed :)

[@shaylaloe8722]

This was amazing!!!! Thank you for this! I can feel the intimacy and peace of Jesus.

[@DT-kx2gu]

Thank you so much, you didn’t just help me physically but you also feeding me spiritually..

[@bethany5946]

Thanks for this. I usually lead myself through stretching and just play worship music in my room before bed. Tonight I needed to be led. Thanks again.

[@anjatheunissen8935]

Thank you, it was such a blessing doing the stretching with you!

[@romeliapolly4171]

I learn about workouts thanks to Unflexal.

[@cindy5391]

No need to add yoga to the regime. Please research the origin of yoga. Not good at all.

[@leigh-annespilman4934]

Dear Cindy, I understand your concern but this isn't yoga (I studied world religion in college). There are certain stretches that overlap with yoga but are used by almost all athletes and dancers because they are the best way to access certain muscle groups. There is nothing ungodly about stretching your body, in fact, I truly believe God wants us to exercise and take care of it. A Christian need not live in fear of satan's influence when the Holy Spirit is far more powerful. This video may not be for everyone but I personally feel it is safe and blessed by God.

[@illanalevi6091]

this seems pretty yoga based, I understand the need to stretch, but not through yoga

[@beverleecoggan9021]

illana levi Nothing yoga here. Just good Christian women, with good Christian encouragement stretching our muscles together with good Christian worship music to the LORD our God. I can only think that you read the title but did not watch the video to have made that statement. This has NOTHING in common with yoga. This is so uplifting that I am sorry that you missed out. I agree though on one point: yoga BAD!! Faithful Workouts GOOD!!!!

[@rhondal8887]

Beverlee Coggan great response! And also some poses done in yoga are the same moves anyone would have to do to stretch a certain body part... "Yoga" is actually spiritual... A religion and that is the problem. This video/routine has no connection with that AT ALL! She speaks biblical scripture and encouraging words from God throughout.

[@Rocky-de8jh]

Did you know Illana there are about 84basic Yoga poses. If you lay down flat on your back or stomach that’s a yoga pose. If you stand up straight and reach your hands up to the sky that’s a yoga pose. Before I was Christian I was doing Yoga for many years, there is nothing “Yoga based” in this video. Every stretch you do I’m sure there is a yoga pose name for it. I use to do these stretches in ballet and cheerleading before Yoga became so popular. Ask God for guidance, the Holy Spirit doesn’t lie.

[@daytoday3270]

There are still yoga poses here. Unfortunately it is hard not to find these, but it is too dangerous to do yoga, even accidentally if you want to avoid the serpent spirit reeking havoc in your body.

[@melissaharris3809]

Stretching was created before Yoga ever was. Yoga did not invent stretching. Yoga has synchronized posses that must be done in a certain order to pay homage to the various gods. If that's not what they are doing then it's simply stretching.

[@leigh-annespilman4934]

Dear Day to Day, please be careful that as Christian you do not succumb to legalism and fear. There are good old plain athletic and ballet-based stretches here that they teach to physical trainers. This is not yoga. The stretches may overlap but there are only so many ways to stretch out certain muscle groups. The Holy Spirit is far stronger than any silly stretching pose, so do not fear! God wants us to take care of our bodies.
