Hardest stretching routine I've ever done. I consider myself to be very fit, and this had my heart rate up and my breathing a little hard. Nice!

[@BRINDANI2000]

I like how you keep saying to breath. As I'm just getting back into stretching and working out, its easy to hold your breath without realizing it. This is especially true for some of the different posses that put pressure on the lungs. Great video and thank you for taking the time to make it.

[@strongandbigman]

This! If they could remind me every 5 seconds that would be good! Hahah...

This morning I could barely lift my right arm without crying because it was so tensed up. My mattress has been giving me issues. These stretches really helped me! Thank you!

[@lune78]

This video may be 10 years old but for me it's still the best upper body stretch video I've ever come across on KZbin. I feel so much better after doing these streches!

My wife and I go through this routine every Monday with retrowave music playing in the background. This video has been a part of workout regimen for the last 2 years that have begun of our married life. Thanks for making this, Daniel! We always appreciate getting stretched out with you before doing upper body weights and resistance training.

[@dapperninji646]

I want you to know. This is my favorite stretch before working out. I have went from over +600lbs to almost 300lbs with this channel.

This is not a workout or an arm workout this is nearly stretching. This is something you would do in the evening after your actual workout.

[@kumualiibruh3919]

I thought this was stretching lol

[@takeoneandaction2678]

Hey guys did it again today this really loosens those knots you feel and tension in your upper body, I felt sore a bit but I guess it means I actually worked the muscles, highly recommend to other whoahooooo!

[@ddorian8683]

I feel like I was reborn after doing this post workout, thank you so much

[@billygodd6703]

been in pain every day for 16 years+ and these are the first stretches I've found that have had any benefit. kind of amazing bc before this I thought stretching was total nonsense, it only seemed to exacerbate my pain

[@Ebb0Productions]

hope you're still stretching!

[@ExtremeLotusx]

Better be stretching

[@Kelly-jo8bc]

every thing about that video was perfect. real time, informative, encouragement, that was perfect for a good torso strecth break whilst working at the computer. im going to use this every day now. THANK YOU.

it made my pain reduced seriously. thanks!!

Jim Halpert knows a lot about stretching.

[@ParanormalBass]

I was stiff and sore from a new physically demanding job and feel a lot better after your video, thanks!

[@AnnEvelyn7]

Awesome! I just did this at work by my desk. Good stretch for when I need to get up move around. Sitting all day is bad, bad, bad. That felt REALLY good. Thanks!!

[@melindachristisourhope6255]

And my rotator cuff popped back in place...thanks..

[@motherdixon]

This is a great up body stretch workout. I had so much pain in my left shoulder but it feel so much better. I shall use this form of exercise to relive tension.

[@lolpro8610]

Funny enough, I train MMA and I wanted to somehow develop my reach so I did all arm stretching exercises ( Improvising Techniques ). The first time I measured my self I had a 183 cm reach and I was 179.5 cm height so I was 3.5 cm in surplus. However, after a year of stretching exercises I was able to develop a 189 cm reach which is 9.5 surplus , which is amazing. My goal is to achieve a 15 cm surplus so I can have an immense advantage since I am very big for a featherweight. Will try to gain back muscles which will give me the additional reach, this is very possible and others should try if they are interested.

[@misterf00l]

Really interesting. How's your development now after three years? Did you reach your goals?

[@dbstewart86]

Do you have a suggestion of where to find these stretches

[@obumb]

@Lol Pro You there man ?

[@Ebb0Productions]

hey come back! You should have a 207 cm reach by now

[@OmSahaNavavatu]

Daniel, I love both this and the lower body active stretches, but this one in particular makes me feel phenomenal. The release of tension and the rush of endorphins I get after almost each stretch literally makes me want to laugh/cry and I must look crazy but it makes me feel amazing Thank you so much for these great routines! 👏👏😃

[@Somewriterprob]

When I was looking for upper body stretches for someone who’s never worked out before I landed on this video. Very friendly and to the point and let me tell you just because I’m skinny did not at all mean that I was properly stretched; when I did this for the first time I was dying. But every time I start my upper body workout this is the video that I return too before I begin. Thanks for keeping it up after all these years!

[@brogantrull]

Couldn't sleep due to intense pain in my shoulders and arms. After these stretches I was able to sleep. Thank you!

[@jeninehoefler3014]

I can't believe how much better I feel after doing these stretches! I have done this video a handful of times now; continue to be amazed by the results. Thank you!

[@nautmain5568]

sickest pump of my life

[@annateittinen9809]

I haven't done this stretch in years and just did it again after an upper body strength workout! Felt so good! I ended with a back bend (as I always do in my stretching). I must do this stretch more often! Thank you so much always Daniel and Kelly! Have a wonderful day!

[@shantiohm5847]

Amazing! I do yoga seven days a week and distance swimming 4X a week and this is the absolute best stretching I’ve ever done. It really targeted the areas I use a lot. Do you have a stretch series for the legs.? ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ out of 5. Excellent!

[@StarReel]

Jim Halpert, is that you?

[@TXSagira]

lol yes!!! I thought the same thing!

[@luisnava5850]

warmup

[@BlackWolf6420]

Thank you for uploading the video. I appreciate clear, direct instructions and no music in the background.

[@lunarxpunk]

Did this after a strength session for arms and it felt like a little additional work for me (which is good, I'm a beginner so I'm not sure how heavy I should lift and often feel like it's not enough but wake up super sore in the morning), plus a really nice stretch. Surprisingly challenging but I got that post-stretch tingle and relax. Good good, added to my favorites!

[@N42_]

This helped me so much after being sore from working out my arms and back- thanks!!

[@karishmarathod586]

This video is just so amazing. It always makes me feel relaxed and I'm so so happy doing these stretches. Thank you for uploading this. You're a gem.

[@jeninehoefler3014]

I feel SO MUCH better every time I do this! Thank you!!!

[@annateittinen9809]

Good morning Daniel! I did this routine after my morning workout session! This is one of the best upper body stretch workouts! Its now one of my favorites! Arms, shoulders, chest and back feel amazingly so good! I will definitely do this again! Thank you so so much always for all you and Kelly do for everyone! Have a wonderful day! :-)

[@ashleyjarvis9418]

Been stretching for years as I get a lot of pains and muscle stiffness. I usually stretch for at least half an hour, but I've never felt as good as I do after these stretches. I will be trying to encorporate these in to my daily life routines now. Thank you!!!

[@NancyGuo1677]

it was such a refreshment after a cardio workout and especially after a tiring working day!

[@nancynottage7255]

Fantastic! Thank you! Had overdone an upper body ab workout two days ago and the muscle pain was crippling. Now I feel great!

[@neenoo12345]

That was actually fun! Thank you two for preparing and doing this!

[@Teelgani]

I loved this stretching workout! I rarely stretch and I just got into working out & my muscles & joints were getting really tight and man oh man this made me all loosened up again I just love it!

[@harniferousbaird5885]

This workout helped me more than any workout. Amazing! I hope to see more of this

[@OddWeird461]

Wow that was amazing. My shoulder impingement feels so much better and my whole upper body feels almost floaty. I'll be adding this to my "do often" list. Thank you so much for all you do!

[@zukilee4453]

Love these stretches man really got my body feeling different after💯

[@made4mordor]

This is, quite simply, one of the best videos out there for stretching upper body to relieve pain. Not only are the stretches themselves great, but the directions are extremely helpful! I was never wondering if I was doing it right. You really nailed it, Jim. :)

[@fulviadraicchio1503]

This has just become my stretching daily routine, thanks!

[@AJ-qp5nx]

This was a great routine. I needed this after 2 days of full body and upper body workouts!

[@djjackjack303]

As a beginner to working out, this is fantastic. Thank you so much for putting this together and taking the time to help those new to getting healthy. I appreciate it.

[@jandeman8410]

Thanks for the video. It really helps me warm up and flex for a more intense upper body workout

[@lolliebrown4056]

OMG!! thank you for this!! thanks for guiding.. my body feels the fatigue at some point and my hands numbs out but as you reminds to close/open the hands it feels good. Thank you!!

[@viswanathanveeramalai1775]

So great. Tremendous recovery from the frozen shoulders.Thank you very much.

[@w_ww111]

This stretch is amazingly effective in such a short period of time. I come for this again and again. Thank you.

[@burdettemeadows1733]

That's awesome thx. Never heard of this kind of stretching but I really feel like I got a great deep workout and stretch in a short video

[@bhuvanesh1]

This is theraphy for the soul. After a week long gyming, this streches makes the muscles feel so good. Thank You.

[@firstch3544]

I swear this is the best stretch instructions, really help me arm/shoulder sore after workout

[@drroth11]

Excellent approach to upper body stretching! Performed as displayed in this video you can actually engage the fascial tissue to obtain maximum benefit. It requires focus, concentration and timing which upon completion you will feel a dramatic new sense of opening and relaxation in the upper body.

[@Todd63790]

Absolutely brilliant mate for someone who has had chronic. Shoulder pain for years this is fantastic - really appreciate it

I'm a serious violinist and so much tension builds up in the upper body, this was incredibly helpful. Today was my first time and it was very painful (I was trembling on most of them), but I feel like this was 10X better than the massages I pay for!! Thank you!

[@Marinette007]

Using this to lighten the tension and pain in my shoulders and neck, and it works - really love it, but then I catch myself looking down at the computer screen during those stretches and my neck feels like it could snap!
