[@mousemd]

I wonder if one reason I don't have issues that some people who are older have. I ride a bicycle.

[@mousemd]

TY for explaining what to do if we don't have furniture. I have a bed and a chest of drawers. Such a small apartment. I am not complaining. There are people who have less space they pay more for

Thank you all for showing how to do the basics. I just came out of being in bed in my house for 3 years due to illness (sudden onset seizures) and Covid 2020/2021. Not everyone has good enough insurance for PT. Thankfully I had to walk my dog every day. I think that may have helped too. Im back up to hiking 3 miles at a time now. I really think your videos have helped. I appreciate it! -Melanie

[@thebaroness2977]

Good for you! You have given me hope that I can do so, as well, and inspiration to try my best though I feel so lost. These stretches seem to be an important tool to assist me in redefining myself & rebuilding my life.

Thank you for helping us to not be discouraged by where we are while helping us to stretch better. It’s comforting.

[@torakfett3351]

I love that, it’s why I subbed. No pressure, no need to feel bad that you’re in a different place than someone else. Do what you can do, and don’t be ashamed- it has real Richard Simons energy. He was very much “start where you are and go from there!” ❤

[@willismiller7035]

I work out and stretch everyday consistently. It's almost a religious practice for me. Recently tweaked my low back and none of my stretches have done much to help, but that low chair stretch did it! Thank you! So glad i clicked on this video! ❤

[@RyanWhite-x5n]

I think this is the best one yet. Thank you.

Stretching using a chair with proper hand positioning - Place hands on chair with thumbs towards the sky to stretch through the torso - Softening knees and breathing deeply while driving chest towards ground for a good stretch Stretch to improve posture and loosen chest and shoulder muscles. - To stretch the hamstrings, use your body weight by leaning into the stretch. - Use a towel to stretch the hamstrings while lying in bed. Ensure hips and shoulder blades are positioned correctly during the stretch. - Make sure your hips are touching the ground and your shoulder blades are down and relaxed. - Take a big breath in to activate the hamstring and then exhale to stretch a little deeper. Stretch every day for better sleep and start your day great. - Seated straddle stretch helps loosen tight groin muscles. - Use pillows under your butt if needed to straighten your spine in this position. Practice stretching throughout the day to loosen up muscles and improve flexibility. - Attempt the stretch for at least one minute, gradually increasing duration to 90 seconds or longer to target the groin and hip muscles. - Consider incorporating the personalized follow-along workout offered at wesshape.com to best align with your individual fitness goals and capabilities. Stretch your shoulders and open up your chest for better posture and flexibility. - Sit in a seated position and turn your fingertips backwards behind you, lift your chest towards the sky to feel a stretch in your chest and shoulders. - For a more challenging stretch, scoot your body away from your shoulders while keeping them back and down to intensify the stretch. Stretching improves posture, loosens chest and shoulders, and makes you feel better. - Focus on lifting the chest while breathing deeply. - Hold the stretch for 30 seconds to 2 minutes daily to see improvement.

Just doing these exercises ONE time has made my lower back pain go away. I've been to weeks of physical therapy and medical massage, which only seemed to aggravate the problem. Thank you! I plan to continue so I can get my life back after long-Covid.

[@kenitae3435]

Thank you WeShape Whenever I’m at work and I’m going feeling any discomfort in my body, I would walk away for 5 to 10 minutes alone and do your stretch and I don’t need to take that Tylenol ES, 🤩 never know it would work. Mind you, I had to share it with my co-workers. Working in the healthcare industry is doing terrible job on most of our bodies now, but I just wanted to say thank you, thank you and continue to do your best!!

Thanks for simple stretches that can be done so easily. I really appreciate you talking about breathing in and out because I know that is important and I always wonder when to breathe in and out! Sometimes I tend to hold my breath and I know that should not be done. Now to check out your strengthening core videos! Thanks again!

Hello, stretching exercises are really great for the body. I increased my height by 4 inches in 4 months and this result is truly incredible for me. During this period, I used Shiydf and did regular stretching exercises every week. I hope everyone achieves their dreams!
