I didnt want to stretch and relax, but it was so needed, and felt fantastic! Much appreciated!

[@FitnesswithPJ]

I know the feeling, but stretching is never a waste of time!

[@lasonialamay6786]

One word,RELAXING! Day 21 done. Beginning the countdown 💪💪💪❤... Since I've been w/o w you PJ, I feel like a million bucks. My energy has increased, I've dropped about 21 lbs, looking more toned after each w/o. I owe it to you PJ. One of the BEST TRAINERS I've w/o w since I've been on the KZbin channel. You know your stuff! I will soon be joining your patron! I am glad I stumbled up on your channel. You have made a difference in the way my body looks and feel. Keep up these amazing and stunning w/o. Again, Thanks and have a fabulous Friday❤❤❤

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Wonderful LaSonia! Look forward to seeing you at Patreon! 💕

[@angelasylcott5375]

I love that you mix stretch/mobility/recovery days into this challenge. It's just as important as the workouts and a good reminder that I don't stretch often enough on my own, haha!

[@FitnesswithPJ]

It's so true, not many of us do!

[@rashidabhinderwala5480]

I feel mentally relaxed and calm doing the stretch workouts Thank you PJ for the after good feeling

[@FitnesswithPJ]

I'm glad to hear you're feeling good, Rashida!

[@VJump45]

This workout is wonderful when your glutes and thighs are sore from squats and lunges. Enjoyed it from Tucker, Georgia!

[@SimplyOrganizedLLCMadison]

Soothing, thanks pj and I appreciate your thoughts on quivering and shaking while stretching. I will ease off stretching instead of thinking it's a good thing as other YT'ers have stated.

[@Balletpro1]

Just what my body needed!!!! Thanks for a great stretch routine!!!!

[@RStarflowerpower]

Loved this! I often find stretching boring, and hard to do a half an hour, but I could do another half an hour with you. Thank-you!

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Aw, thanks Rachel!! That's sweet of you.

[@morriswick2494]

Happy to read that I'm not the only one needing a recovery after cardio day. I really liked the use of the wall. The wall is my friend now

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Hahah yes!

[@joannkresko5842]

love your Yoga voice, focusing on our bodies and no distractions Thanks

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Thanks!! I mostly get 'Wow PJ, didn't know you had it in you to use a soft voice' 😅

[@madelinebayard7801]

Great Stretch much needed today! 21 is done, Thanks PJ

[@JoyOlaguera-lx3lx]

Absolutely relaxing and effective lower back stretch. Thanks for this Pj. Sharing this to my 40s and up friends and loved ones.

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Thank you so much for sharing! Glad you loved it 😍

[@tammieyarrusso5078]

I love the Sunday stretches. This felt amazing. Thank you PJ 😊

[@FitnesswithPJ]

You're so welcome! 🥰

[@sandraruckstuhl5526]

Amazing!! I am an ICU night nurse and just would not have had it in me to do something too hard today so this was just perfect. Such an amazing mix and variety of workouts , thank you so much!

[@FitnesswithPJ]

You are so welcome Sandra! When in doubt - stretch it out 💕

[@astraus2997]

PJ!!! I love your workouts so much! I am so glad I found you. I'm doing the 25 challenge, day 21 and I feel so much better. I used to do beach body but was always in pain or hurting myself. Your workouts and stretches are just as challenging as Beach Body, but I feel no pain! WOOOHOO! Just love everything about you - your fun energy, your dog, the cute shirts you wear - all of it! Thanks for everything!!!

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Wonderful! So glad to have you on board! 😃

[@karenmccomb1832]

[@hollyramsey3576]

Thanks again PJ , for another awesome recovery workout/ stretch. I sit all day at my desk and my hips need this so bad! Day 21 done from Tennessee! Love all your workouts, keep them coming, you are awesome PJ 🧡🥰

[@FitnesswithPJ]

More to come, Holly! 💪

[@debbie5451]

Wonderful! Couldn't believe the difference propping the ball of my foot onto my weight made in that calf stretch! Left side surprised me by being the tightest. Anyway, the living room is my gym! Thanks P.J.!

[@pattyk3649]

Day 21 done! PJ, thanks for explaining what's happening when your muscles shake on the hamstring stretch. Very helpful!!!!

[@FitnesswithPJ]

No problem, Patty.

[@Randi-i1q]

Felt so good after big hike. Thanks PJ !

Day 21 done! Just what was needed after a weekend of hiking and yard work. Thanks PJ!

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Good stuff!

[@saharharmon3986]

This is the best stretch exercise I’ve ever had! Amazing! I didn’t realize how my hips and were so tight. Happy, very happy I joined in. I’ve been enjoying the 25/25 classes very much! Thank you for all your hard work! Your description and explanation of each workout is very useful!

[@FitnesswithPJ]

So glad to hear, Sahar!! So many of us have tight hips! Glad you're enjoying the challenge! 👊

[@priscillacarey877]

I've never heard about the shaking as over stretching. Thanks!

[@DunderMifflin_ThisisPam]

I needed this stretch routine badly. Thank you. This is my favorite so far of all the stretch videos!

[@kathywright7803]

I loved this session and learned a new way to do the figure 4 stretch. Really liked that I could get a better stretch in that hip and not have to worry about trying to hold on to my leg! Great job as always PJ!

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Yes, such a nice stretch eh?! A lot of people say that they didn't know to line their leg and shoulder lined up...makes a huge difference.

[@elnamayberry]

Great way to finish my day! Thank you!!

[@kaygibb9428]

Great relaxing workout, thanks PJ

[@kerrydavis8191]

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Thanks so much Robyn!

[@donnabelden9826]

That was awesome! Thank you.

[@angelakim4379]

Day 21!!!! I really needed that stretch because I could still feel my inner thighs after the inner outer thigh workout. Yes, i know that was like 3 days ago but it was a killer for me and that made me happy. Bring on the last few days of 25 in 25

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Yup, it was a doozy!!

[@kateg7618]

What a beauty! Am feeling much taller. I didn’t realise I needed this so much 👍

Lovely feeling, isn't it?!

[@jburwinkel]

It's so lovely isn't it? Glad you loved it 😍

[@hilarygrimmer4557]

Love your workouts PJ. was going to join a gym but get much more from you and it’s fun. I’m signing up for membership today. Started all this with the 25 day challenge in lockup in Auckland NZ. Far from a youngster but working backwards in age! Hilary

[@FitnesswithPJ]

You bet, Nancy!

[@gailwatson4451]

I needed this so much! I had to miss the last few days as my lower back was really bothering me for some reason and I had some sciatic pain as well. Skipped the the inner outer thigh wo as I thought that would be too much on my still tight hips and back but today I was able to do the shoulder/abs wo followed by this amazing stretch one, my hips and back thank you!

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Good for you for listening to your body, Gail. Glad to hear it!

[@laurenwheal778]

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Awesome!! Good for you, Valerie. That's commitment! 👊

[@mandylloyd6750]

Day 21 is done. I don't have a convenient wall in my workout space, so this routine wasn't as relaxing for me, as I was using my upper body or seated to do most of these stretches. Here's to finishing the challenge strong this week!

[@FitnesswithPJ]

I'm glad you were still able to work through it Mandy! On the downhill run now 🙌

[@karenkelly986]

I really felt how tight my back and calves were. Nice just to stretch today. Thank you.
