please help me😢. I have been suffering from lower back pain since 5 months. Please listen to my story I will be so grateful 😢. I am a football player and 5 months ago i pulled my left lower back muscles... after that it feels like the pull recovered but the pain in si join and muscles around it didn't go. We tried every possible exercise ,medicines and checked xray and mri and found nothing helpful and found that I have a herinated disc and Some si joint problem... along with lumbar lordosis Please tell me a solution 😢😢

[@jackieemakpor4957]

I had resolved to try and do mobility stretching daily having done strength training for many years but NEVER stretching. Honestly this video is awesome easy to follow and a GREAT start to the day. I am feeling this will help me to be consistent with stretching. Thank you 🙏🏾😊

You're so welcome!

[@greggdragun7451]

I enjoyed the stretches but I do not like it when he says for us to hold the stretch for 60 seconds yet he holds it only for 15 seconds. What am I supposed to? Pause the video for 45 seconds. He should hold the stretch for the same amount of time I am supposed to hold the stretch.

[@muneebmushtaq4316]

Agreed, so annoying and felt rushed. The timer on the side is useless too 👎

[@rhomeobaker9840]

It’s so the video isn’t 20minutes long, don’t need him to hold your hand

[@leaoaugusto]

@@rhomeobaker9840 no hand-holding is allowed. haha

[@ladimirjones6390]

He’s making a video

[@briankelley8083]

Think of it as a beginner video and do just the 15 second for beginners. As you go along and you get better at it, hold it for longer and do exactly what you just said pause the video. Of course, you’ll need a separate timer.

[@StefanRohlaender]

As a total beginner to stretching I really appreciate your videos. The timer help a lot!

I appreciate your comment and support so much!

[@lindalowen]

Jared, thank you! I’d been doing your 8 minute stretches for those not flexible for a week first thing in the morning, then, as if you read my mind, you released morning stretch. The only thing I miss are the bells to know when to change. Sometimes I am so deep into enjoyment of the stretch that I don’t listen as closely to your narrative as I should. Tone and tighten is the one exercise I look forward to, so thank you for creating these videos!

[@toneandtighten]

Thank you for your comment and feedback!

Stretches are good but maybe allow more time on the video to get in and out of movements to get the most out of the stretch. I had to keep on pausing

Just discovered your videos - started with the one for those not flexible but I’m curious in this video you say do for 30 seconds but your timer is much less - I assumed the videos were meant to do without pausing - maybe it’s just an error? In any event, overall super helpful- thanks
