Just what my 47yo body needed today after my lower back and hips were left a bit delicate after doing a yoga video yesterday led by someone significantly younger than me 😆 Thank you PJ!

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Hahah, what have I told you...🙃 Glad you're feeling better!

[@tracieseivertson4297]

Oh, I loved this. ❤️❤️❤️

[@FitnesswithPJ]

So glad, Tracie. ✨

[@alsci2489]

I just love your workouts. This one was fabulous after my 10km walk today. Thanks PJ 😘

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Awesome Ali! Great combo! 🙌🙌

[@beckytanner6350]

Thanks! I am such a workout junkies but my shoulder every once and a while gets annoyed at the neck. So this was perfect for this am. I agree with you 100% our bodies are so interconnected and I could do this for hours😉. Your elbow story was so similar to my son’s years ago he couldn’t move his arm (he’s a catcher in baseball). I took him to the chiropractor and he said tennis elbow. I also took him to my PT and she adjusted his wrist and shoulder/neck and no more elbow pain! Thanks for everything and even thought I don’t know you personally I can tell you’re an amazing woman! 🤗

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Thanks Becky!! You're too kind to me. 😘

[@mariletz]

Second time doing this one & still love it. Thank you PJ for this gift*! From one of your KZbin/Patreon devotees in Oregon 🌲🇺🇸✨🙏🏽✨

[@mariletz]

*and you programmed this workout ‘gift’ on my BD today! Yay 🥳

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Happy happy birthday!!! Hope your day is amazing 🥳

[@alyciahansen6953]

Been down and out with COVID and lots of post COVID joint issues but getting better-knee biggest issue but you are AWESOME with your mods!!!!This video was so timely. I felt amazing after and even this morning!!! Hoping by Monday I can get back to the schedule.

[@FitnesswithPJ]

ugh 😣 Covid sucks, doesn't ? Remember to take the time you need to recover fully! 😃 I encourage you to take a look at this video I did a few months ago : kzbin.info/www/bejne/jJTYlJenqdt_jM0

[@puzzledpets]

You must be telepathic! First day back after a week off for various reasons. Just what I needed to get back into it. Full fitness is just around the corner I'm sure but this made me feel great. Thanks PJ x

[@FitnesswithPJ]

I am a part-time mind reader, Laura. 😉 Glad to hear you're getting back into the swing of things!

[@sues6746]

Incredible stretch routine 👍 Loved it. Let’s do a 5 hour stretch together 🙏

[@FitnesswithPJ]

How great would that be?? 💗

[@marykelley8292]

This video is awesome!

[@FitnesswithPJ]

woohoo! 🥳 🙌

[@vonniepope987]

Recently diagnosed with bulging disks 😪requiring lots of stretches these days!! Thank you PJ

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Oh I'm sorry to hear that!! Speedy recovery vibes being sent your way!

[@maureenpolak2184]

A perfect workout

[@FitnesswithPJ]

So glad you loved it Maureen! 😃

[@margiegonzalez6576]

Needed that ty

[@FitnesswithPJ]

You got it, Margie!

[@jburwinkel]

I really needed this! I agree with what you said about pain in one area is not really always about that area. I had stabbing pain in the side of my knee. It wasn't my knee, but my IT band causing the pain. Went to a physical therapist and got some great exercises to strengthen my IT band and the pain disappeared!

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Perfect! They are the right people to see when you are experiencing physical pain/discomfort!! (and you get to learn stuff about your particular injury - soo interesting!)

[@audreyArice]

Loved this stretch routine. I felt so much better afterward. Will be doing this one again.

[@priscillacarey877]

Very nice.

[@FitnesswithPJ]

🙂

[@stiofaininnichlerigh8168]

Oooooo yes this was delicious so needed thank you PJ Steph 🇮🇪

[@FitnesswithPJ]

👏👊

[@jenniferhoward6996]

These stretches felt awesome! Thank you!

[@christysweet5949]

That was incredible. I feel so relaxed and loose through my spine and hips. Pure heaven. Thanks PJ

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Always a nice feeling!!

[@nickydykes2700]

Felt so good after this, PJ! Thank you !

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Fantastic!

[@cdiaz288]

This was absolutely amazing 🤩! Never miss a Monday 😁. Great way to start my day

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Definitely..and set yourself up for an awesome week!

[@loriwilliamson5738]

ABSOLUTELY one of THE BEST (can you tell how much benefit I got from this?) videos I have ever done! Thank you so much, PJ. Also, huge for me was your story about tendonitis being related to your neck. I think that is exactly why my medial epicondylitis is not healing. Pissed at my PT not thinking outside the box. Gotta get a different Physical Therapist!

[@rebeccacass5555]

Loved the stretches. My back feels great as well as the rest of my lower body. Thx PJ for another nice one.

[@FitnesswithPJ]

That's what I like to hear, Rebecca! 👍

[@maryrosekiomall565]

Needed some stretching today PJ and this was the best ever! Can I ask why I get cramps on my hamstrings especially when I try to move them closer to my bum? Thank you. Youre the best!!

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Your muscles are strained when they are cramping...when you notice this happening, stop and spend a bit longer warming up and stretching the muscle out.

[@mrs.tussauds5876]

I did not know how much I needed this one until I did it. Super relaxing after the cardio workout this morning. I think it released some pent-up tension from the day before as well. Starting the day in a much calmer place. Thanks!

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Isn't that always the case with stretches? Our bodies need so much more than what we give them. So glad it made you feel calm and ready to take on the day/week! 🙌

[@stephaniepaoli3412]

Yummy stretches PJ!

[@FitnesswithPJ]

So glad you thought so, Stephanie. Definitely one to revisit when extra stretches are needed! ✨

[@lorieallen4011]

Are the twisting movements of this routine OK for osteoporosis? I aways hear we should never do any twisting if you have osteoporosis, but am unsure if there are safe ones to do. I love your workouts and am a subscriber. ( I am also OK with a 5 hour stretching routine--LOL). Thank you!

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Great question! Please head here to ask your question: bit.ly/AskPJAnything - and then stay tuned for my video series, Ask PJ Anything, posted the last Wednesday of every month on KZbin.

[@salanee]

How did you know that Mondays are my streching days? Hahaha... By the way: instead of 5hour strech you could do 5x1hour streches. I always appreciate your workouts.

[@robynparker5845]

Very timely one for me after tweaking my back yesterday lol You see into the future now???? 🤣

[@FitnesswithPJ]

hahaha! yes! I see EVERYthing 😉

[@nahitonahito55]

This is exactly I wanted today! I had a backache and this was super helpful. Thanks PJ!

[@FitnesswithPJ]

Oh, wonderful to hear Nahoko. Happy to provide some relief. ✨

[@michelleelizabeth299]

Ahhh- now I'm all stretched and zenned out- thanks PJ!
