teens should be learning this sort of content in physical education, i hope they are, i know i did not in louisiana! correcting bad posture is so basic that left unchecked creates and exacerbates many fundamental problems that makes life way more difficult than it needs to be, thank you for sharing your routines MTG.
Love this! Sometimes I forget to do these. I don't sit much and especially not for work, but I always feel better when I do these . Thanks for the reminder!💞
Hidden tip Ryan gave us at 3:30: Sleeping is always important to repair damaged tissues and heal ourselves, so it's a good idea to get profit of that moment by taking a small nap. Ryan, in case we can't do the stretching, would be standing up and walking another choice? How many times should we stand and walk on that case? Thank you so much for all your videos, I've been a bit off from them, I hope I can catch up.
Thank you! This is very simplistic and approachable. I’m going to set up a schedule to incorporate theses stretches daily. Always grateful for the content you share on this channel!
That spinal extension is perfect for those with lower back problems …not just old folks, but young bucks who suddenly forget they’re not 18 anymore and pull a muscle/tendon in their lower back. I felt something go ‘twang’ like a snapping elastic band in my lower back when I leant over to get something out of a drawer and sneezed at the same time….😂😂😂 still can’t get over the hilarious situation but damn I was in pain. Literally couldn’t do anything, even something as small as turning my head to look sideways was painful. Only relief I got was laying flat on the ground. Doctor examined me and gave me some exercises to do, one of which was the spinal extension. I now try and do this and other stretches often….thing is, I used to do it before and after training when younger (15- 25) but as one gets older the laziness kicks in. After a stressful day at work (whether at a desk, behind the wheel, in customer services, hospital, education) all one wants to do is go home and relax. Problem is that’s the worst thing to do as we don’t stretch out…so for any young folks reading this/watching this video - do the stretches regularly as you get older. Don’t stop…trust me when you get to your late 40s, you’re body will thank you for it. 🙏
With most of my life having sit-down jobs, video games and a lot of media consumption otherwise I've been struggling with moderate to severe sciatica for a few months, started up a mobility routine and got a new (though still at a desk) job and have noticed so much improvements so quickly! I have taken movements from you and a few others and the changes it has already made is spectacular! Thank you for talking about how often and how many sets, when I started I'm not sure if I push my range of motion too much, but the following day I would really ache and it was something no one has talked about, being weak in so many areas really worked spots I haven't really used in far too long. Even my disc golf game has already really improved, getting me similar to where I was 8 years ago! I understand why people say fitness is a journey, it really is steps at a time and regular effort, but it is so worth it.
Fantastic. I’m in the middle of a migraine because I have so much muscle tension from a sedentary lifestyle & doing these while sick is helping me to feel better & lessen the headache. Thank you so much.
I used to get headaches weekly. Please try shoulder shrugs hold the upward motion high and for a second or two then bring them slowly down. Repeat as needed. If you have sore rhomboids they can cause headaches too, to fix that do a chin tuck and at same time bring your head down and tuck it into your chest. Hold your head down and tucked for 30 seconds, if you are doing it right you will feel stretch in back of neck and down upper back through the rhomboids, do that 1 or 2 times a day. If you do these, you should start to see your headaches go away over time. For me I would get a pain in my upper neck and that would be a sign of a headache coming now I can do the shoulder shrugs and prevent the headache from coming on. I hope you feel better.
I work as a bus driver. Can be sitting for up to five hours without a break, often two or three hours. Two of these exercises I knew and the other two are new to me. One exercise that is also great for stretching out the spine is to hang from an overhead railing by your hands. I hang until I loose my grip (1 - 2 minutes) and thats plenty. I do this exercise in the bus when I get a chance in between trips and it really helps. Thanks for your video!
big help, i will try these. I work 911 and sitting for the past 10 years has really done a number on my health. I always feel a bit tight and some muscle is always getting "pulled" or feels off whether it be my back, neck or shoulders.
This is awesome. I've been at a desk job for 10 years now and my health has been declining steadily with my back pain getting worse. Do you have a video of a regular stretching routine you do from beginner to expert? If not that might be a good video as a suggestion.
Glad you liked the video! I‘ve made some sporadic videos on stretching, but I’m actually planning out a whole stretching and mobility series, so stay tuned for that. It’ll take me some time to get all the videos made and posted, but it’ll be an in-depth playlist and worth the wait! Hopefully should have that done by end of July.
Buy a pull up bar, it is THE best return on investment you can imagine. Costs $20 max, the effort to reward ratio is great and the time cost is next to nothing ... Just doing dead hangs can make a huge dif to people, and no one can hang for that long ... so am sure you can spare 30 seconds a day? Then if pull ups are too hard, do negative ones ... jump up and descend as slowly as possible and after a week or so you should be able to do them. Am 48 and got back to 10 pretty quickly, then once you're there can use harder form or weighted .... even when you're doing set of 10, it still only takes a minute, literally. and all still on that $20 bit of kit!
I can give you great tips if you want since I have been battling postural issues all my life and had went from manual labor jobs to now desk jobs and I know first hand how hard both of those can be on the body. People who think doing manual labor vs desk jobs is so much better obviously never did manual labor because it heavily depends on what type of labor it is and almost everyone I worked with had back or knee issues. So dont think your desk job is the issue you can fix all your problems with few lifestyle adjustments.
@@PasqualItizzzor even better Buy Rings (hard to set up than pullup bar tho) But They can literally be used for any muscle Group and include a Balance element in exercises.
Just tried this, going through the stretches quickly while you explained (just so that I can remember what to do) and I am already feeling so much better, thank you! ❤ And omg I'm sending love to the kitty, it was so cute to see you giving the sweetheart some love. 😺
Thank you for sharing such a phenomenal video. It has proven to be precisely what I required- concise, uncomplicated, and exceptionally elucidated. It brings me immense pleasure to divulge that I have already implemented some of the invaluable pointers you provided, and have witnessed first-hand their remarkable efficacy. Such an affirmation instills unwavering faith in the potential of the exercises you have encouraged, and I harbour no reservations about their profound effectiveness.
I do a similar exercise to the one you suggested by the end of the video, Ryan: these are the bridges variations. I started bridging to work on my spine and I think this is one of the most underrated exercises there is. I'm doing the progression outlined on Convict Conditioning but use the Angle Bridge and Head Bridge for stretches rather than for reps and they are amazing. As much as I like bridges, I woudn't recommend anyone doing this exercises without doing the easier progressions first - for the matter I don't recommend anyone doing bodyweight exercises without laying out a solid foundation with basic exercises first. So if you consider doing it, take a look at the progressions suggested on Convict Conditioning and do them for holds instead of reps.
@@MinusTheGym I don't follow the progression from the book as written, but I do use it when putting my training plan together. I started with 'Get Strong' by the Kavadlos, then read 'Convict Convictioning' while doing the 16 week outlined in 'Get Strong'. The real game changer for me, however, hass been 'Overcoming Gravity' - which I got to know though your video on it. To be honest I owe much of my knowledge to you and your channel. I really like the videos you present here. You deserve way more subs than you have. Cheers from Brazil Cheers from Brazil
It's so interesting that you were a software engineer. I'm a computational biologist, and I'm interested to know why you moved toward fitness and how you think being a software engineer had affected your health. It would be nice if you could make a video about it.
Hi Ryan, thank you so much! My body is just feeling awful and like I’m aging every week. Could you do a similar series for strength exercises? I feel like my middle region is absent. Constantly stiff back and sides. ❤
Brilliant video, many thanks. Incidentally, will I still be able to perform the Swiss ball stretch without a cat ? My old cat (lasted 21 years), used to do exactly the same thing when I was trying to stretch. Thanks again
This is why I like doing yoga, it basically stretches the whole body and includes several of these moves (MacKenzie pressup is similar to Cobra Pose in yoga)
I have one question. Can you do side and front split stretching exercises with inguinal hernia? I generally do them every day, so far i haven't noticed to have negative effects on the hernia. However, just to be on the safe side, i would like to know if i can keep doing them. Thank you!
Now THIS is an important video. God bless you, pal. I worked as software developer for under 2 years and a half and my back became unbearable until I knew Yoga. P.S.: Tai chi also helps
Have a question? If one has like a wheelchair bound existence and cannot stand up on a regular basis what can one do to offset cardio damaging effects of sitting too long? Would a chair type of elliptical like a cubi go provide one with cardiovascular exercise if one has to sit all day. If one can do upperbody in wheelchair like with one pound weights how much of an interval should tgis be per each hour or two. Thanx
Great video, can you make the same type of video for standing all day? Many of us have jobs like cook, bartender, in my casr massage therapist or other jobs like barber....people who work in manufactors labor and stand all day by the machines. It's insane how tight one can get in the harmstrings and lower Back after 9-12 hours shifts .. Another professiona I just realized are for example OP-Aissistens...they need to stand all day on the Table tensed. Or my bakers who stand in the work place from 3:00AM until Lunch nonstop. This is an open field for video ideas both sitting only or standing only jobs...we need different approach to stretching and exercises...different inbalances in my opinion
Doing water transfer for fracs and sit for 14-18hrs a day in work truck, not like previous pumping job when i would run up an down oil tanks and water tank gettin a workout in, gotta try these cuz it definitely takes a toll on your back.
Thanks! You mean clear of acne? I went vegan 13 years ago. Best choice I made for my skin. In terms of complexion, I try my best to consume raw carrots and some greens each day, although that doesn’t *always* happen, but most days it does. I find that raw fruits and veggies in general are great for our skin, but the chlorophyll in greens and beta carotene from orange/red/yellow vegetables are especially helpful.
Hi thank you so much for this video ❤. I have a question pleasee When I rotate my shoulders backwards I can hear a sound like a crunching. It’s happening since i started working 8hours sitting in front the computer. What can I do? 😢
i should've done this sooner i'm started working as an artist 1 year ago (almost 2 year) i'm still new but my body is already hurting lol not even 30 yet, ty so much, gotta do this everyday before start working
These look great but is there an alternative to the first exercise that keeps us off our knees? I can't kneel on my left knee at all (even with a foam pad) without extreme pain. Any alternative would be greatly appreciated.
You can do the standing hip flexor stretch variation by getting into a standing lunge position without bringing your knee to the ground. Same idea, but you’re not kneeling; kind of floating in a forward standing lunge. Raise the arm of the side with the leg back to deepen the stretch. You could also do a standing quadriceps stretch, where you bend one leg back at the knee and try to touch your foot to your butt. That stretch can hit the hip flexors too if they’re tight.
If you cant do it all at one time then you spread it out and do a set or two or three every half hour or so. Also, instead of sitting in a chair to watch TV you should get on the floor and do these stretches. This is what i do when I watch football. I warm up, do calisthenics/bodyweight exercises and stretch during the commercial breaks(most are 2 minutes).

2. Doorway pectorals
3. Table laterals
4. Spinal extension (McKenzie press-up)
Do u have to relax ur body when ur in the strech or tighten ur muscles ????
Relax your body into the stretch while taking deep breaths
As a postie driving a three wheel electric vehicle in a sitting position for up to 6 hours a day, I’ll be doing these stretches daily 👍🏻
What's the vihicle?ricksha?
I sit 6 hours at school + 2-4 hours preparing for finals and doing homework 🤡
Thank you Johny.

It depends on the school, but in TN Gym is pretty much a free period with readings sometimes or light exercise.
My cat literally walked around me while I was watching and doing these stretches, too! 😹

Muscles just start to relax at 30 seconds so if you can hold each stretch longer. Any stretching you do that targets tight hips is well worth it

Very well explained. It's impressive how much of human physiology you have learned over the years, Ryan.
