8 Minute Stretching Routine For People Who AREN’T Flexible!

[@toneandtighten]

So - how flexible are you?! Where are you the tightest and what do you need the most help with? COMMENT below and let me know if you liked this video and how I can help you in the future! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 (Also - not a bad idea to supplement your stretching with some consistent core strengthening. Here's a 6-minute core routine I recommend: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pnvTYWuposmWfM0 )

Hi sir. I woke up daily with lower back Stiffness and it continues the whole day. When I try to bend my back for a while then it takes time to get back to the same position. Please suggest me what to do sir?

I just had a right-side hip surgery, presently doing therapy, how long until I can go past 90° angle I have been stiff for years want to get flexible.

[@flamerider714]

I'm 23 years old and can't touch my toes. I am definitely active and my lack of flexibility is a running joke between my friends and I. I don't want to grow up past the point of no return so thank you for a genuinely beginner-flexibility routine

[@artvandelay3840]

I've never been able to touch my toes, and I think some people just can't due to their build.

[@flamerider714]

@Art Vandelay I used to tell myself that that was true but I was lying to myself. I used to touch my toes and be extremely flexible as a kid and it's purely my lack of practice that has made me inflexible. Keep up the work and I'm sure you can get flexible too!

[@b_drizzle3857]

Yeah I can't touch my toes and I'm 17 and very skinny with long legs

[@MaxM-xg8vm]

This comment made me laugh. Flexibility is something me and my brother joke about a lot as we both go to the gym and are in good shape but can’t move properly 😂. Good luck it’s not a very long process becoming flexible. Do it every day for a few weeks/months and you will feel significantly better.

[@mcbowler]

I’m 44 now, and never been flexible. It’s over rated. Sitting too long will create problems for anyone, flexible or not.

[@louisdasselaar7806]

I finally did it. I am 19 years old and after stretching every day for 3 months straight I have no more neck pain, back cramps and I can reach my toes! To everyone that thinks they can't do it, just be patient and stay disciplined! -Edit: For the people asking how I do it. I do this stretching routine every morning after showering cold, sometimes a second time before bed if I am feeling stiff. I do change it up sometimes and don't exactly follow the instructions, its good to keep variations, for example: - The hamstring stretch i replaced with a sitting hamstring stretch and using a resistance band to pull myself to my toes. - The neck stretch i replaced with a butterfly stretch. - I added a straddle stretch. - For the shoulders, back and chest, I hang with one arm with my feet on the ground and try to relax myself and get as stretched as possible; its important to have your feet on the ground for a relaxed and controlled stretch. I am a calisthenics athlete and stretching is very important, to avoid pain and muscle cramps

[@toneandtighten]

Way to go and keep it up!

Whilst I do other simple daily back stretching exercises which cured me of lower back pain 15 years ago and walk an average 10 kilometres each day, I shall incorporate stretches for the leg muscles.

I did this video for the first time like 2 months ago. I was NEVER flexible and my chiropractor insisted I incorporate stretching into my routine. Since doing this every morning I've noticed SUCH a huge difference not only in my flexibility, but also just how I feel in general. It's also made me more interested in improving other stretches and looking into yoga more too! Thank you!

[@mustardseed6323]

Hello, I am 66 years, did this routine for the first time. I have great difficulty getting down on the floor, so I modified by using my bed. Also, when it came to the crossing of the legs, I had to use an extremely modified version of crossing only my ankles, but I think I did manage to get the correct back muscle working. On the one where the right knee goes back and the left knee goes in front, I used a modified version on downward facing dog, where I'm standing, used my kitchen counter for leaning on, put my right leg back with bent knee as far as I comfortably could, put my left leg bent at knee as far forward as I could, then with my back up as far as comfortable, I leaned back and moved my hips forward as far as comfortable, but still stretching the front muscle on my right leg. When doing slight change, I bent my right leg and straightened my left leg to stretch the hamstring on my left leg. I did this by moving my hips backward. These are modifications I learned in a yoga class I was taking before covid hit. Since covid hit, I've been sedentary, sitting at home in my recliner and playing games or watching Netflix on my phone. While playing games on my phone, I ran across an ad for hyperbolic stretching. Sounded exactly what I needed, so searched on KZbin for it and found this video 1st. I really like this video cuz he explains what muscles to stretch and cuz of my yoga class, I knew the modifications I needed to do to get the job done. My current goals are to be able to pick stuff up off the floor with ease, be able to put on my socks with ease, and tie my shoes with ease. Thank you for sharing this. I'm hoping to do this as many days in a row as I can. Will try to let you know how it goes after 1 week.

@@dtrainw so I haven’t kept up with these routines every day but most every day. I’m feeling better. For my daily workout I do 50 push ups 2 sets of 25, 50 squats usually split up into 2 sets, 3 minutes of plank all done from my knees (push ups included) because of lower back pain and 2 miles on my elliptical. I don’t have much time to block off an hour straight for fitness so at work I’ll take a break from whatever I’m doing and bust out my push ups for the day, then later the plank I’ll do squats or calf lifts while I wait for something. Basically I had to get over worrying about people looking at me weird for doing my exercises. I’m a auto tech so I can do all these exercises in my stall. My current goal is to get sub 200lbs and not be self conscious this coming summer when I take my kids to the neighborhood pool. I’m also doing keto but my weight loss has plateaued over the past few weeks so currently working on figuring out what to change to get past this. My recommendation is do what you can when you think about it don’t wait to do those push ups squats or plank, when you think about it stop what your doing and bust it out. I’ve also realized it’s a lot more mental than physical to lose weight and feel better you have to want it more than your favorite food or dessert and be mentally strong enough to say no even when someone brings in awesome looking tacos for lunch when you know that will set you back.

I really needed it after watching hours of Dodgers games on the couch! Lol

[@Redhairband90]

Im not even flexible enough to get my elbow to the outside of my knee 🙈

[@TokyoCraftsman]

Day One. I’m 60, male and I work construction for a living. I’ve beat up my body pretty good, I’m needing something like this to loosen up, I have constant lower back pain. I could not do the “seated spine rotation stretch” to uncheck effect, but I’ll keep trying. Cheers from Tokyo.

[@wv7228]

How are you progressing now after almost one month?

[@TokyoCraftsman]

​@@wv7228 it's been 45 days now and I'm doing great! So much of my back pain is gone, I can easily bend over and retrieve something from the floor without having to bend a knee. Lower back spasms are gone. I'm loving it!

[@wv7228]

@@TokyoCraftsman Happy for you. Keep at it!

[@kevinbrock6184]

I've shared this video with several of my fellow gym goers. Several of us get together, and we do your stretches on non strength training days, where we just do cardio. Everyone loves the exercises! Thank you for your videos!

[@toneandtighten]

I appreciate that!

[@garyjandereski9253]

Been lifting for years added this to my preworkout routine and feel so much better

[@toneandtighten]

So glad you are enjoying it and finding it effective!

[@Dailyshart]

These should be done after workout, not before. Warmup motions should be done pre workout, not static stretches

[@maramandme]

i’m 21 and after the legs stretching exercises my legs started shaking, this is my first time doing such thing, i’ll try to continue doing this. plus, i realized i needed a mat because my knees literally cracked multiple times because of the stiff surface i was stretching in.

[@alicepersson9568]

Soft surface under is indeed important.

Giving you a notification to make sure you haven’t given up ❤

[@meem1128]

U can do it on ur bed if u didn’t get a mat

[@Miguel-pt6dm]

Thank you for these videos. I’m 34 and have ignored my body since I got out of high school at 17. I have been doing your videos every day for like a month or two and although I’m still not as flexible I feel way better.

[@noybass4361]

I love this routine! I am getting close to doing it for a full week and I feel better! Just a small suggestion, I think it would be great to take 5 second breaks between each exercise so that I could get to the position to do the stretch:] that would improve the time I'm stretching for me! Thank you!

[@stopgotdamndeletingmycomme8642]

Or heres a suggestion-u could pause the vid whilst u get into position?

[@simransaini9468]

This exactly

[@jenniferzumwalt147]

For some people they might get discouraged having to pause the video every 30 seconds. I think it's a great idea for there to be a pause for people to get situated.

[@JustGia420]

I am turning 12 this year (just about to graduate primary school) and this really helps me with my mood.I’m so happy I found this because before, I used to be a total couch potato . I also do figure skating, my posture is usually so stiff but now it has improved thank you 😀

[@user-yourmomlovesme18]

im 13 and i play soccer so you need to be loose and stuff so that you can play at your full potential and this helps me a lot

Sedentary life leads to depression and weight gain. The key is exercise for you. Take a dance class a pop up class by yourself Go for a walk with your parents on Sunday morning walk 3 blocks and back

[@cvzdez]

Ps I am proud of you too

[@cvzdez]

Be amazing on purpose and unapologetically so

[@MrYorickJenkins]

These are the exercises for me. I am as stiff as a board and sometimes quite depressed by seeing the exercises people perform on youtube videos. We are not all Harry Houdini. I think these are exactly the sort of exercises I need. I shall try to include them in my morning routine.I am so glad I found these. Fit people can smile at these but if your are like me, they are just what is needed! The principle is easy but a challenge for all us stiff boards out there!!. Thank you!

[@toneandtighten]

Yes! You are welcome!

[@tracymcfall4427]

Thanks for running us through a complete session. I appreciate that as opposed to just demonstrations. But, everything you do is helpful.

[@toneandtighten]

You're very welcome! I am glad it was helpful!

[@TokyoCraftsman]

Day 31, wow I made it a full month 😊 I can certainly see improvements. Thanks again!

[@runningold]

it's been 4 months how are you doing

[@TokyoCraftsman]

@ I’m doing really well, if I miss a few days, it happens😅, I’m can feel it and it’s always great to get back to stretching. Merry Christmas

[@TariqAlamro]

Today is my first day of doing this, I will achieve my goals if i believe on myself and with commitment everything will happen.

[@Andreas-x2m]

I’ve been doing this routine for only 1 month and I notice way less pain while doing the stretches. I used to never stretch, and I play tackle football and this video has made me more flexible and it has reduced my risk of getting injured while I play football. I used to only be able to reach down to my knees and now I am so much better. Thank you and I will continue to do this routine every evening.

[@toneandtighten]

Thank you so much for sharing!

[@louferguson7048]

Fabulous! Loved how you went through with the timer and the music was relaxing! Loved this!!

[@toneandtighten]

Fantastic, Lou! I'm so glad you enjoyed this routine and thank you for the feedback on the video. I hope to continue to serve you well in the future. 🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@vbabyxoxo]

I’ve been doing this stretching routine for about 2 weeks helps tremendously thank you so much 😊

[@toneandtighten]

You're so welcome!

[@queeniman5430]

I love how beginner friendly these stretches are and not some video that lol have me stuck in some pretzel 🥨 position lol. I am definitely going to implement these stretches daily to increase my mobility. Thanks for taking time to make this video 😊

[@toneandtighten]

You are welcome! I am glad you enjoyed it.

[@s.vektor]

the pretzel comparison 😂😂

[@dresdeng1090]

This is fantastic! I’ve noticed my back is super duper tight, this whole thing helps with that. Question for you! Do you have videos for people who are overweight? I have a large stomach that gets in the way of a lot of this, and I’m wondering if there are modifications I should make to be sure I’m not damaging the effectiveness of the routine.

[@omgitsdriaaa]

I fall under the neurodivergent umbrella and this is the perfect video for me! Quick, low impact, pleasant voice but not a ton of talking thru out, and the music changes helps me keep track of the time. Thank you!

[@toneandtighten]

Glad it was helpful!

[@markperkins5626]

Excellent- the best beginner series I’ve ever completed! Thanks

[@toneandtighten]

I appreciate that!

[@jackiehallewell6745]

Brilliant set of stretches that take a very manageable amount of time. Had terrible issues with thoracic spine tightness and sacro iliac weakness. Only your exercises (from other videos) have kept away the agony, and this video is helping keep the stiffness at bay from constant desk working. Life saver, thank you 😊

[@djpafro8330]

I have 2 collapsed discs in my lower spine, and have tried numerous stretching videos to try and loosen up that area so I can work and train easier. This has by far been the most effective I have used. I’m not very flexible so having these easy stretches to do now every morning is perfect for me. Thank you

[@toneandtighten]

Thanks for sharing!

[@MisterWatermelon]

When I was in high school, we stretched every single day during marching band. It got to the point where I could sit on the floor, grab my foot, and place it behind my neck (that's impressive to me). Now, 8 years later, my body is as stiff as a board. I gotta start stretching again. 😂

[@y.mma09]

The flexible trick you did during high school is something my friend did too at the age of 9, I think. It's so impressive! She would always live us in awe with her flexibility. Like she could always just jump into a split. Hope I can reach that too

[@Zeplin02]

Im 21. Spent my childhood/teens working on my family's ranchs so I mever put thought into getting excesize or moxing my body. Now after 2 years of a desk job my body is screaming at me constantly to move. Thank you for helping start the process of using my body again

You are welcome! Glad they are helpful for you.

I’ve been doing this routine every day for two weeks and as a 38 year old I can say it is making a huge difference in my comfort and flexibility. I don’t dread bending down to pick something up or creak and pop when I stand up. Nice 👌

[@toneandtighten]

Wonderful progress!

[@cherylcotton9688]

I love this but you need to allow time transition to the next stretch, otherwise you're not getting the full 30 seconds stretch.

[@Hurly]

I recently had a 6-10 inch grow spurt in the span of about a year, and I'm standing at 6'3" 6'4" ish. I am super tight so I'm hoping doing this everyday helps 👍

@@toneandtighten The "wooden pole"was what my grandmother used to say when I was a child. "Walk as if you had swallowed a wooden pole!"she used to say to make me walk "like a proper lady"🤣🤣🤣.

[@adriancastillo1957]

Great video! It’s helping me a lot to loosen up my body. My only input is starting the timer when you actually get into the position. The 30 seconds starts before you explain the next stretch.
