65 years old, very sedentary and becoming a real weakling. Three days of this and my chronic low back pain is almost nonexistent. Really, a single session made a huge difference. Looking forward to getting a lot more strong and flexible with you. Thank you!

I have been doing the shin box thing for 5 days. Not the energetic ones just the basics. It feels great. Sometimes when my back & hip seize up, I do it again. 🙏

[@LAMARC1]

Props to you for still fighting the healthy living fight💯❤️🙏

[@kettlebellken]

Spot on! I'm 57 and ex-marathoner & triathlete. Started these exercises & kettlebells at age 50 and they truly have restored lost mobility while reducing sciatic back pain over last 7 years

[@ZoltantheArtist]

I'm 58 - Just curious, did you always workout or did you begin working out because of age/mobility? thanks

[@kettlebellken]

hey Zee, always have been active. just started with kettlebells & yoga at 50 yrs

[@sreehill]

@@ZoltantheArtist it's never too late to start! We, the 50+ crowd, can always keep improving!

[@fishbelly789]

Turkish get up with kettlebell can change your life. I’m 64.

[@morrisizing]

I am am ex-triathlete trying to do the same. I have always struggled with lower leg issues, but with a move to cycling and career/family commitments limiting training time adding 10kg+ to my weight and more time sitting my back has become a real issue. Though the complete chain from my back down to the arches of my feet suffer from tightness which takes a while each morning to get going. Hopefully though adding in swings and some of these exercises will help unlock things & maybe allow me to start running again.

[@delonghi5000]

Thank you Mark! You read my mind, was yesterday just looking up shinbox due to your warm up routine and wanted to incorporate more of it.

[@michaellacy8510]

64 yo. Spine injury/surgery. Jacked up back, hips, knees. I've done these (all except the last one) prior to workouts along with other stretches last week or so and they have helped me a lot! Thanks!

[@jca66]

Wow I feel a huge relief in my left hip after just trying these once.

[@hannabaal150]

You tell us what you were going to tell us, then you tell us, then you tell us what you told us. That's the way to do it. Thanks!

Exactly. And the summary at the end of all the steps is excellent.

I just did this exercices because I work seated in a chair working at home 8 hours or more a day. It felt fantastinc! Thanks Mark!

[@jpmeryortiz]

My friend, I am very thankful for this. I'm a 32 years old, former junior tennis player and still struggling with an injured hip. Will try to do this every day. It doesn't hurt to say that thanks to your channel, I'm in the best shape in 10 years. Cheers!

[@HannaManful]

awesome this video came about right as I'm dealing with some lower back pain. have been doing a lot of different stretches to alleviate it but never saw these ones anywhere. will defo be adding these to my routine.

[@yvonnecrozier4536]

Hey, these vids are great, so approachable and yet powerful!

[@royjackson419]

Thank you so much for this, i sit much of the day and spend much of my time after work undoing that damage.

[@davidsopher6871]

Did it this morning!!! A great way to start my workout 💪

[@AlteredState1123]

Brilliant! Again, you have given me a great series of drills. Thanks for sharing!

[@rudolph1x]

I have spent years dealing with back pain with moderate success which has limited all of my abilities. I have watched and listened to a few of Mark's presentations. After doing this every morning for a week now I see a big difference in muscle activation and hip mobilization. Also I purchased a 35 lb. kettlebell I have been doing beginner movements with. This has been better than any physical rehab or stretches. I am starting to feel like myself again. I highly recommend this every morning while listening to The Mission Soundtrack. I am grateful!

The Mission soundtrack? Do you mean The Mission as in the movie with DeNiro and Jeremy Irons from the late 80s?

[@chrissieellerington8185]

These look amazing, will try for sure

[@jennysherrard5290]

Just did this as my hips were super tight and it has given me much relief - 10 minutes very well spent! Thanks :)

[@p.t7495]

Thanks for the tips , will try these hip exercises , & see how we get on wild man.

[@themercurialmoxie]

"If your hip feels like it's trying to rip out of the socket, you're doing it right." Lmao! I definitely, need to incorporate this into my day. My hips and lower back are incredibly weak at this point and I struggle with mobilization. Thanks, for sharing.

[@stormrider1119]

Tight hips are my biggest challenge. This is gold. Thanks Mark

[@HighFlyer61488]

I love your videos. You don't love hearing yourself talk about nonsense, you get straight to the point and are very clear and purposeful.

[@albylongballboarder]

This is SO INCREDIBLE! I have never, ever come across this stretch with the hips & its mobility. Been suffering with real lower pain, sciatica like and this series of progression has allowed my lower Ls to "pop" and really free up my hips & ease the tension in that area. Major relief & I will keep progressing. Thank you Mark for this wonderful KZbin & help. Wow. Just Wow.

[@arsen20111]

I've had a severe lower back pain for the last 2 weeks. I was doing some great excercises I knew before but adding these ones made a change. 3 days of these 1-2 times a day and I feel such a relief. Thank you!

[@rainbows4dinos]

I am so glad I found your channel - pure gold.

This is gold, I was in a serious contruction accident many years ago and this simple drill has changed my life. Great content, you channel has made my life better.

Glad to help. I am very familiar with construction accidents. A lot of what I do is directly aimed at that

[@evanblackwell3920]

Super impressed how well these worked. Starting out with the windshield wiper, my left knee was about 6 inches off the floor. After going through all the exercises once I could touch it to the floor. I didn't think it was possible to gain so much range of motion in 5 minutes...

[@ericwhittington9613]

This absolutely helps with back pain. Another knock out the park Mark.

[@trainyourselffit6829]

These exercises are golden. So glad I found this. I do many variants on the theme of these, but have never included the spine movements at the same time. Just what my back needed today. Also just discovered an ongoing hip issue I have is clearly due to tightness in my left hip thanks to doing these movements.

Obviously this one hits the thoracic spine a ton itself, but curious if you have a specific targeted video? Or you could make one 😏😉😉
