15-minute POST-WORKOUT STRETCH for Injury Prevention & Flexibility

[@andrewpender1547]

i'm a 55 year old male and post a heavy shoulders and triceps workout i tried these stretches for the first time, 10 minutes after doing this i started to tremble all over and had to lay down for 30 minutes. when i got off my bed i felt great and 3 weeks later am noticing that both my flexibility and breathing are improving. thank you for helping to improve my life

[@ayeshaali2281]

[@Badbch313]

Sounds like you had some type of release. Many people will experience this during yoga too! Happy for you :)

[@FermaalGaming]

I'm also trembling right now after this stretch

[@laneywilliams7134]

I had the same experience the first time! Now, after a couple weeks I'm improving as well.

[@JoanneForget]

Trembling after a movement routine often happens for me. My body is releasing trapped energy. It is badically the stress response finishing its coursr after trauma. I often do trauma release exercises to release energy Keep caring for your body. It eill thank you

I just looove your pug lying in the background on his own couch, with a picture and even a cushion of him

[@liam82946]

No way that pug is real, it didn't move once during that entire stretch hahaha

I’m 16, and I cycle and swim on a constant basis. I notice my muscles have been getting sore, and your stretching session is great! I feel much much MUCH more relaxed afterwards!! Thank you :) ❤

[@prettyboyinjunnie1009]

Hi im 17 and was wondering on like a scale 1-10 how much soreness it like actually takes away?

[@kates2469]

@@prettyboyinjunnie1009 as a collegiate rower (i'll follow the pattern and say i'm 18 lol), i would say that once the soreness has already set in it doesn't help very much. it feels like it's doing something but as soon as you stop stretching then it comes right back. it's maddening. the thing that i've found that actually helps with soreness is stretching before and after the workout. i was very annoyed at this for a long time but as i've gotten more experience i've found it's really the only thing that helps, annoying as it may be!

[@motivationalmak8030]

I loved how the pug was sleeping in the back!!! My pug came up next to me and started snoozing too. This stretch felt sooooo good. Thank you!!!!❤❤❤❤

[@carrielauzon4422]

This was a really nice change of pace. It was good to take the time to breathe and stretch. Thank you Kaleigh!

[@nise3155]

I usually don't comment on videos, but I have to say this stretch changed my life so much... I feel unbelievably good after workouts now because of this and I sleep better too!

[@sayres12055]

So glad you added the longer stretch at the end! So important. Thank you.

[@pandazatthedisco]

Wait a second, I've been using this video for my post workout since august of last year and IM JUST NOTICING THE PUG SLEEPING ON A TINY COUCH IN THE BACKGROUND!?

From your past 10-minute cooldown, I've learned how to relax while doing those stretches. In this 15-minute cooldown, I've learned about taking note of my tight side. You can also learn about those things that she says in her videos while also relaxing with that "dessert". She really knows her thing very well. Thanks a lot Kaleigh!

[@terrimccollom517]

I loved this stretch!! It hit everything I needed after your 40 minute arms and abs workout!

[@ThankGodItsAutism]

This is the best full body stretch on KZbin! Simple, short, comprehensive, good vibes, just what you need every time

[@KiaraCarbajal]

Hi Kaleigh! I just wanna let you know how grateful I am for this stretch routine! It’s been the best motivation to workout and feel more connected to my body. Thank you! ☀️🩵

[@healingwithlou1055]

This stretching video is brilliant! I’ve been using it after a recent back injury to make sure I’m stretching properly at the end of each workout. Love the way you talk us through it and it doesn’t even feel like 15 minutes! X

[@MichelleJChoi]

Thanks to your stretches, i'm not scared of pulling a muscle after my powerwalks on treadmills! I like to go up to 11 for gradient level sometimes to burn calories quicker and i used to be so sore on my thighs before i found your stretches. Thank you for motivating me to continue working out and staying healthy!❤ You have such a light and positive energy which gravitates me to this same video every time after my workouts. I love your little encouraging comments and how every stretch is easy to follow! Sometimes I get intimidated by others' stretches, but your reassurances encourages me to continue! God bless you!

[@splendidcyan]

I've been following this video pretty regularly for the past few weeks (I think I found it in Feb or March?) after my workouts, especially my runs or just doing some dance-along videos, and I've always only been able to reach my shins when doing the forward fold hamstring stretch... until today! I actually laughed out loud as I realized I was able to grab my flexed foot and toes! And on both sides! YAY! My middle forward fold is still pretty stiff, and my quads are SOOO stiff, especially my right one, but I made progress!!! So exciting!!

[@JudithSteel]

Thank you for these videos - I'm 57 and have just stopped exercising in the the last 2 years because of knee pain. Love the short strength training and stretching together - perfect!

[@sillybilly7414]

Seriously the best post workout stretch I have ever done. 🔥. This definitely made me feel ready to conquer the day. Thanks for sharing ❤

[@Gabrielleosy]

I am not exaggerating when I say these are the best stretches I have ever done in my life. I have a remote job and I tend to slouch in my seat or my couch lol, so my back is in pain by the end of the day. Doing this after my workout, the next morning the pain was barely there and that was after ONE day. I would do these stretches even without a workout that is how good they are. THANK YOU!

[@kendraholder8038]

That was such a gorgeous stretch. The difference from sitting cross legged at start compared to the end was amazing!

[@GetThe0110]

Any suggestions on an alternative to the quad stretch? I’ve got hypermobility in certain joints and feel no stretch at all getting my heel to my bum.

[@mariposalaloca8455]

Love it! ❤ I used to train for 1 year without even try stretching or do anything after workout. But now i end every time with this video❤

[@ChinkyShah-mb6mu]

that baby was just sleeping the whole timeee😂❤

[@jkh7427]

I’m 67 and have never done yoga or stretching other than a couple minutes on occasion. Your comments about a taco without the shell or fix’ns is a perfect way to address stretching. I just found your channel and love it and especially the “finisher” of your stretching videos that I have added to everyday day. My 67 year old muscles thank you profusely 😊Kathy

[@besiebes]

i’ve been doing this for a week now, and i’ve never felt so relaxed after working out. seriously thank you for this video, you have no idea how much this has helped me!!

[@Walmart_Bag-x3g]

For some reason, I didn’t think after workout stretches were needed in my routine, man was I wrong! My body felt overworked all the time anytime I would work out and my muscles hurt but sense doing these stretches and taking care of my muscles I feel like a feather. Thank you!❤

[@IAmAMuslimaah]

Hey I am new to your channel. I actually just found it this month. I just had a hip replacement surgery and even though I feel so good and I can work out, you do exercises that are easy for me to do and don't affect my hip in a bad way. It's actually making my PT better and I just follow you and your voice is very calming. Thank you so much. You gained a subscriber from me.

[@acorn-i6m]

I broke my fibula back in may, started working out again November 1st, It’s Dec 1st so it’s been 1 month with your guidance and I’m able to do simple things like sitting cross legged and walk up stairs normally again. I can’t thank you enough, even my doctor said my flexibility has increased! You’re my workout guide for life!! 😊❤❤

I have been trying to get back into working out, but I have been having the worse time w sore muscles. I started following this video after every workout session & it has CHANGED THE GAME for me. Thank you sm for sharing.

[@sylviamb2504]

06/23/23: Rican Captain's Log: On this June SSS, I've been wanting to try the new stretches and I choose today as recovery day to do them! Was still feeling stiff after yesterday's leg workout, so this came in totally handy! I have to say thank you Laleigh for this! many do not take stretching seriously and as a former CrossFit gal that got injured during a box jump workout and rolled her ankle, I remember seeing many not even staying for the stretch portion! Many I saw having injuries later which is sad to see! Whenever possible please I suggest stretching after any type of workout! Trust the process and as we get older, you'll thank us later! Thank you once again babes for this awesome stretch, and looking forward to tomorrow's killer strength & cycling SSS 2023 workout!

[@preciousmousse]

I've been doing strength with no stretching and my body started saying no to it. I was tight af, thank you so much for this! Will do it daily until I can stretch all the way in every position 🙌

[@nuleaflifestyle]

This has been my favourite workout of yours so far! Kudos to you for getting outside your comfort zone to film in a different way - but you needn’t worry. I think it’s amazing to show us that you find the exercises hard too. It gives me confidence that my huffing and puffing is normal and what should be happening! I’ve been doing your 30 min full body workouts for 15 weeks now and have recommended you to loads of people, several of whom have started following you and loving your workouts too. Can’t imagine you’d get any haters but if you do ignore them - you are giving such an amazing service xx

[@theresaw1117]

Yes stretching is so important we need to do it! I always finish any exercise routine with a good stretch otherwise I would be stiff! This was a great one!

[@Spartan92IT]

I start consider part of my training stretching too by some weeks and i already see the difference in some workout and chronic pain start disappear. Thanks a lot and keep going you are helping people more than some doctors.

Thank you for this stretch so much! Not only I had a great ending of a workout, but also I felt my emotions released. I’ve been going through some tough times recently and somehow it hit me with your words about feeling challenged, but not in pain as we grow and change. I may consider it as a good piece of advice not only for my training routine, but also for my life challenges. To be honest, I bust in tears when I heard those words while stretching. Thank you a lot Kaleigh, hope you have a nice day 🙏🤍

I started working out at home a week and a half ago after not doing much for exercise in the past 8 years. I just started your 5 min warmup to avoid injury and this stretch video yesterday. Even with just a day I could feel the difference and had a lot more range with the stretches today. I’ve been looking for a stretch routine that had similar stretches and results as the stretches I did when I used to dance, this was exactly what I needed. Thank you.

[@sensei9115]

After I was in acar accident I was hospitalized for a few months and had to wear a back brace when I got out. Even after I got it off I have felt so stiff. But your stretches make my body feel so much better. Between this and my workout, I'm hoping to lose the pounds I gained while laid up.

It's still showing the holiday gift ideas, but it's such a high-value place to promote another video because we are in a really good mood at the end of this wonderful stretch, so this would be a good place to just let youtube suggest something we haven't seen yet, or promote a favorite video of yours that you think should have more views than it does.
