I finished cancer treatment and was given remission yesterday. I was a martial artist practising karate but had to stop. Hopefully starting again soon. I don't think I will b able to do all your strength stuff but I have done this today and man u have no idea how good it feels having not really trained for so long. This has made a 62yr old very happy. I 8ntend to keep trying your stuff. Thank you from a happy Englishman 👌👍

Can't thank you enough Strength Side. Your workout allowed my 11 yr old son and I to break up the day with some quality movement (which made it quality time). Got him off the xbox and me off the work laptop. We both finished the workout feeling good about ourselves!! Love the work you do!

[@Strengthside]

Music to my ears man! Appreciate you guys spending some time with me

[@GodsGlorythroughCorey]

This time has been a blessing in disguise. Im reading more, got better at basketball, more time with family, increased my flexabilty ( with help from you guys who were also discovered during this time), started practicing MMA, and changed career paths. What a year!

[@Strengthside]

Incredible dude!

[@sonpois]

Awesome man. Same here. Just an incredibly transformative year.

[@kearab4238]

Well go ahead with ya bad self. Lol

[@sethhofstetter8161]

I messaged you on FB to thank you for your videos! You have literally saved my bacon! I'm a homesteader, and over the winter a repeated back strain turned really bad, leaving me prone on the ground with back spasms in sub zero weather....I could barely move for a week after. I went to a doctor, and found it was just a really bad pull...he gave me a regiment of basic stretching and strength training exercises and a bottle of muscle relaxers. After a month of that, I was checking out similar exercises on youtube, and found Strength Side. I've incorporated a bunch of hip, back, and knee exercises into my own daily morning routine. About a week after, my back started getting tight and hurting again...so I backed off a little with the strength training, and kept up on the stretching.... Fast forward to this morning....it rained last night, and while outside, feeding my animals, my foot slipped a few inches in the mud (while carrying full buckets of food). This is exactly what set my back off over the winter....but today, nothing...my legs, hips and back are stronger AND more flexible...I still feel stiffness, and soreness, pretty much constantly, but it is slowly fading... Mobility isn't an issue, until you don't have it...then it seems it's everything! As such, you have been an inspiration here, and have changed my life in ways I never thought a few stretches could possibly do! Thank you!!!

[@shillandkillary2236]

That felt soooooo good! 21 weeks pregnant and I know I am going to rock this home birth! Thanks again, Josh.🐱‍🏍🤰

There are maternity stretches for pregnant women that are much safer..

[@charliepace107]

So how did the home birth go!? I hope all is well and you now have a beautiful baby. My wife and I had a home birth as well and it was one of the best decisions we've ever made

[@impalaood]

Hi Josh. Greetings from the UK. Like many here lockdown, home working and a slower pace is allowing my wife and I time to discover new ways of being, and encouraging us to care for our physical, spiritual and mental well being. This is what has led us to discover your channel and we’re loving the challenging but meditative tone of your daily work outs and stretches. Just wanted to check in and say hi, and thank you for what you’re doing. Strange how this pandemic is actually bringing people around the world closer through our isolation and allowing us and the planet to heal through this enforced shut down. My thoughts are with anyone suffering at this time.

[@Strengthside]

So glad you're finding this time nurturing! I'm trying to do the same. I'm happy to have you and your wife my friend

[@catrionatalbot]

Found you when trying to find a way to maintain my exercise routine in the absence of a gym (although I like your approach so much that I might just ditch the gym after the stay-at-home is all over). I also continue to practice yoga, stepping up the frequency now, and give more time to improving my Spanish and learning to speak French. Being nearly 70, I don't want to waste any of my remaining time.

[@arcisvar4863]

I hope you find joy in all the moments of your life and live a lengthy life without illness.

[@DownsiteAirsoft]

Crazy to do this follow along 3 years later. Haven’t done it in like 2 years and listening to you talk about Covid brings back a lot of memories during the lock down times. Reflecting back, your videos really changed my life. My body is totally different 3 years later. Thank you so much!!

And one more thing.......during the dancing frog, my leg doesn't even *almost* begin to lift off the ground, ha! But, I really appreciated your reminder that just making an attempt at such a move will engage and strengthen the body in new ways. I just discovered you and am only beginning to explore your content, but I'm excited about your holistic approach to development of the body and self.

Did some of your videos a couple of months ago and then left a tab open but didn't come back to them, until today... and now I know I will be back here more often! Quar life sure has me looking after my body more, but also feeling tensed a lot more - this felt soo good just now, and inspired me to bring in some of these movements into my yoga practice and classes too! Thank you, I feel much happier and grounded after doing some of your videos today. Tapping into the wisdom of our bodies is the truest medicine!

OK that was just what I needed. Currently working in a nursing home doing therapy with Covid+ patients who can't swallow their food safely. It's a high stress environment but I am making the most out of it, and this has actually helped me to maintain structure (e.g. eating healthy, going to bed early, and stretching in the am). This workout is going to start my day off feelin' good. Thanks my friend!

I have been fishing around with all those videos and I think you are still the best. I enjoy the voice over rather than other people huffing and puffing.

I have an incurable genetic illness that attacks my muscle and joint flexibility. The Strength Side videos are awesome inspiration. I can't do the exercises fully...... but it drives me on. After only 1 week I can get off my bed unaided. WOW! Thanks for keeping me real.

[@wimveninga1714]

Hi Josh, thank you for creating this routine. I've been doing it for a couple of weeks now. It really helps me to become more flexible, not only my the body, but also in my mind. To answer your question, I'm enjoying the cocooning at home together with my wife who's pregnant and our two other children. Next to this I have been focussing on building a place online where people can share their precious memories with their family in a private and safe way which I hope to launch early next year. The pandemic has given me room to focus on trying to build something positive which I really enjoy.

[@GPosner8]

I can’t thank you enough for all of your videos. We are living through difficult, trying, scary times. As a frontline essential worker I have to be out there everyday. The stress, the strain and the uncertainty is wearing. But taking a few minutes every day to stretch out and decompress keeps me going. Stay safe. Wash your hands. Be well.

Hey Josh, Another well done video, thanks! I am 51 and have some advancing arthritis in my left hip and low back. This morning I woke up and it was throbbing... The kind of pain that makes you not want to move it but we all know that movement is key. Anyway I did a couple of sets of this very routine and I'm telling you I can face the day now! It is the combination of lengthening with muscle contraction that makes the difference. Stretching alone WILL NOT help conditions like mine... I hope this kind of approach is found by the masses. We need it!

[@mightyr9721]

Hello there 😃 Could you please explain me what means "hotel quarantine"? Did the government specifically moved you to a hotel? You were traveling and got stuck in a hotel?... What happened? I hope you are doing fine, hugs to you 🕊️🌸

[@spacecadet7333]

@@mightyr9721 In Australia, our international borders have been closed since mid-March 2020 & will be til at least mid-Jun 2021, to prevent greater rates of Covid community transmission. Australians abroad are allowed to return here but are marched off the aeroplane by police or army staff into a hotel of the state government's choice (you cannot choose) & you are not allowed to leave your hotel room for 14 days, while regularly getting tested for Covid. There are police, army or security guarding each floor. Meals are delivered to your door but you have no choice re meals, although you can request meals catering for specific dietary requirements, like vegetarian, halal, etc. The state government covered the costs of the hotel rooms & food for the first few months, then the returning travellers were billed for their compulsory hotel quarantine stays after then. In Syd, the cost of a single adult returning from overseas & being quarantined for 2 weeks is currently $3000 AUD. If you are diagnosed with Covid during the 14 days compulsory quarantine period, your hotel stay is extended unti you test negative for Covid.

You know how to make things accessible to people at different levels, while still providing meaningful movement and strength building with the stretching. I will definitely be back for more. Subscribed to your channel!

Plus, your energy/personality is really pleasant. You're obviously at such a high level, but your training and way of speaking feels inclusive and supportive. You give clear instruction and demonstration and your voice is soothing and natural. While your physique and style alone would intimidate me a bit, you don't come across as pretentious at all, and I love the sincere encouragement you give with just a touch of playfulness. You allow for some flexibility even while keeping the video focused and moving forward. I'm more accustomed to female instructors but I'm so glad I stumbled across your channel. Thank you again.
