Lower Body Mobility & Knee Strengthening | Day 10

[@sandrabanko7491]

Thank you Tim! I was not expecting this. This was some really cool mindful stretches for ankles and knees. I’m 63, so if I didn’t have yoga in my life for the past couple of decades I wouldn’t be able to be a part of these challenges. This is great proactive work on areas of your body that have a tendency to ware down as you age. Again, thank you Tim, and good to see you Ollie!

[@mimibuckles]

I second what Sandra said! I'm 58 and it wasn't until the past 10 years that I started to have funkiness in my knees even though have been practicing yoga daily for almost 40 years. I did PT and that resolved it but when I dance I do a lot of deep knee bending past my ankles and I often have little tweakiness going upstairs a few days following. These are great strengthening and stabilizing exercises for me. Pray that I have the willingness to do these regularly. 🙏💚🌿

[@sandrabanko7491]

@@mimibuckles 40 years of yoga is amazing! Good for you Mimi! I can’t imagine life without yoga. Tim’s yoga is the best online yoga ever!

[@yogawithtim]

Thank you Sandra

[@yogawithtim]

Good to hear and stay with it.

[@causelessharm4444]

This is killer t-dog. Both ankles and knees were messed from years of rugby. This will be super helpful with keeping my heals down in a squat. I appreciate you.

[@yogawithtim]

Thanks man, i hope this helps get you back on the road to full mobility.

[@soulfulwapechi]

Thank you tons!!! Needed this as I strengthen my knees for surfing and swimming.

[@yogawithtim]

You got it. Thanks

[@clairehackett5828]

Thank you very much Tim! My right knee has been in terrible pain for a long time and I really needed to start doing these exercises. I appreciate you!

[@yogawithtim]

Hope it helps. Please keep me posted. Thanks Claire

[@darlenemarshall7475]

My knees are thanking you, and so are my wicked bunions, which benefit from these movements. Loving this challenge, it is offering a lot of variety. Thank you Tim and Ollie, see you tomorrow! 🙂

[@yogawithtim]

You're so welcome!

Is always good to see you and Olly, thanks a lot

[@yogawithtim]

You're welcome a lot

[@bfitz7159]

I'm a huge fan of Ben & his Knees Over Toes program. I'm recovering from a kneecap dislocation last year... Yoga & Knees Over Toes have gotten me back on track. I love how you've merged my two worlds! I'm a day behind but keeping up with the 30 day challenge - it's fantastic. Thank you!

[@yogawithtim]

NP. And so great to hear!

[@MrLottieee]

Learn more from TIm in the last 10 mins about knee & ankle pain/strengthening than a number of previous physios throughout my adult life!

Thanks Mr. Lottie

Always looking to strengthen around my knees. They are not great! Perfect thank you 🙏

[@yogawithtim]

You're so welcome!

[@reginanava3707]

HI THANKS A LOT.... it was very nice to try the different alignments between knees and ankles.... 🤩

[@yogawithtim]

Glad you liked it!!

[@Arsh2436]

This really helps my slightly injured knee. Just wear and tear on the outside of the right one from too much running i think. Thank you, Tim.

[@petemurphy7790]

Perfect timing for my knees. Thank you for all that you do Tim!

[@yogawithtim]

My pleasure!

[@heathersha]

Holy chakras, that was powerful! You are helping us embody a healthy open channel. I was in a meeting after this where we did some grounding from the head to the heart, and I was able to slide so peacefully into that space. I had a headache before, and now I feel balanced. ❤

[@yogawithtim]

So nice to hear. Thanks Heather.

[@ashishisaac7837]

Hi Tim, I've been following this series since the start of the year and it's been going great! Thank you so much for putting this out there. When I came across this video, it made me wonder whether you have similar videos for shoulder strengthening? I have a shoulder injury (a rotator cuff tear), so if you can point me in the direction of some possibly helpful exercises or videos, that would be great. Thanks again!

[@ivannacastano4089]

Dear Tim, thank you so much for this session! As a runner, I feel my ankles, knees and quadriceps become weak sometimes, and I already feel stronger with this single session, will practice them often as you suggested! Have a wonderful day ☀️

[@yogawithtim]

This is great to hear. Thanks Ivanna

[@JudiandFreckles]

Oh Tim! Such a gift this group of exercises is. I've issues in my tfl and weakness in my hamstrings and I've been working on those. But these here are things I struggle with everyday. Thank you so much! This will be great to add to your warm up for runners which I do often.

[@yogawithtim]

You're so welcome! Also Check out the runner's warm-up video I made for Brooks: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aYi4pX2ugdtgras

[@Rexyspride]

I've had issues with my knees for years so hopefully these simple exercises will help with that. Thanks

[@yogawithtim]

OK. Let me know. Thanks

[@gerhardholzinger8488]

Just one word: GREAT!!! Please more of these...!!!

[@yogawithtim]

You got it. Thanks

[@張維軒-y5n]

Thank you Tim! I am born very short big toes, which results in big limitation to running and hip stability. I have been looking for ankle movement exercise for a very long time to also strengthen my big toe grasping, and the pistol-like stepping really help! Thank you so much!

[@yogawithtim]

There’s more ankle videos on the channel. In the search bar on my site type in ankle Then you’ll see all the ankle videos 😉

[@yogawithtim]

Awesome. Thanks Mark

[@katiwhitaker7325]

this has been really useful. I have knee problems but I have never come across these exercises before. I shall be incorporating them into my practise from now on Thanks Tim

[@yogawithtim]

Great. Let me know how it goes for you

[@CaitlinLanduyt]

This is such a great series! I love that the challenge gives a great mix--emphasizing flexibility, mobility, strength, and breathwork rather than just one. Thanks, Tim!

[@yogawithtim]

Glad you enjoy it! And thanks for letting me know 🙏

[@wranedrops]

Wow. I have a pelvic surgery complication that has systemic affects on my right leg (hip to toes) for almost two years now. It just gets worse and worse. I felt a few muscles firing today with these exercises that seem to be "switched off" as the norm since my surgery. I've done PT and was getting worse while doing that. Massage has also helped, but I need to activate and strengthen certain muscles and I think I might finally be getting at them with these movements!! Thank you!! 🙏🙏

[@yogawithtim]

That’s amazing! Thanks so much for sharing.

[@michellepage6178]

Love this! Knees over toes guy has been a game changer! So pleased that you have gained from his ways also.

Thanks Just recovering from knee & toe inflammation from No where ( maybe from bad food) & I followed you doing these routines. I’m ok now & will go back to the gym tomorrow. I do my stretching at home / yoga etc before heading to the gym. I’ll stick to yoga 3x a week since it improves my flexibility. Gym makes ma More stiffer lol. Getting massage & using my own massage gun helps me a lot. Thanks been watching & subscribed. 👍🙏😜❤️🇨🇦

Hi Tim! After an icky tonsilitis threw me out, I'm back on track :) I especially liked these exercises as I've had ankle problems from dancing before! Showed it to my boyfriend who runs and plays soccer a lot and he is gonna implement them as well!

[@yogawithtim]

Great to hear! Thanks

[@kathym.5676]

Great timing on this unexpected video. I was recently diagnosed with arthritis in my knee after having a meniscus repair a couple of years ago. Bummer news for a lifelong runner, but these exercises will certainly help to strengthen the joint and help prevent further injury. Thanks, Tim!

Great! Thanks

Revisiting this after doing it during the challenge and then doing it on my own from memory. Got SO much more out of it this time (the focus on the big toe and second toe mounds) and will do this 2-3 times a week for a month as you suggest and hopefully progress to level 2. THANKS, Tim!

Hi Tim, did I mention I’m recovering from a bad ankle sprain? This is so helpful to include in my practice as a way to recover. It’s a strain the the inferior and superior peroneal retinaculum and acheles tendon.

Oh man, ankle sprains can be tough! Are you sticking with your PT exercises?

Careful with your injured ankles. Do what you are able. Don't push it.

@@yogawithtim oh absolutely ! They’re “old” injuries, but I’ve had a serious lack of mobility since, in spite of all the physical therapy in the world. I take it one step at a time nonetheless :)

SO HELPFUL!!! I ll definitely try to incorporate it in my practice. I love the mobility/PT stuff. I can't find any helpful PT in France to help me with my messed up body. Taking your classes is way more helpful than any of the PT sessions i've taken here, plus it's more fun, you're better looking 😂 (no joke!), usually there's Ollie, I love how it's always different but always amazing, i don't have to get out of my house, it's free!!! and it's simply the best!
