  • Follow-along total-body stretching routine to decrease tightness and improve flexibility! Dr Jared Beckstrand leads you through 8 minutes of stretching exercises that are perfect for beginners, after a workout, or if you generally feel “tight” or “stiff”!

    ===========================
    Have you ever searched for “stretching routines” or “stretching exercises” here on RUclips?
    I mean - I understand the importance of stretching as well as anybody, but I don’t feel like you should have to be a yoga master to do it and enjoy it!
    Even some of the “beginner” routines out there are way too complex!
    That’s why in this video I wanted to share with you a simple-to-follow 8-minute stretching routine that ANYONE can do at home to improve overall flexibility and mobility.
    You won’t find any crazy positions or complex transitions in this video… just some simple stretches designed to decrease tension and pain in all the major muscles and across all the major joints in your entire body.
    This is the perfect routine to increase your range of motion, cool down after a workout, or decrease tension and pain that comes from long hours working at a desk.
    Hopefully by the end of the routine you feel loosened up, stretched out, and more mobile than when you started.
    So clear a little room on the floor and let’s get to work!

    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

      @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!

      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.

    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

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!

    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 RUclips 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. You got this!

    Much appreciated. I recently got a health wakeup call after making good progress last year and falling off the wagon completely. The first stretch routines I tried were all for fit people about to start intense workouts. I just needed one to get me started before some basic stuff as I ease myself back into exercise and weightlifting.
    This one's a keeper. Easy, can be done anywhere, and I feel like I'm accomplishing something without overdoing it.

    I’m 24 103kg super athletic, 8% body fat but my flexibility is appalling. I can’t touch my toes. Thanks for such a helpful video

    I kind of got burnt due to extreme work deadlines and didn't have any desire to exercise. I wasn't exercising for the past month. But I am gonna restart this habit today. I am not giving up.

    Thank you for this video! I think I'm going to be doing this stretching exercises morning and night because lately I've been feeling rather stiiff, as if I had swallowed a wooden pole!😅. Once again thank you, these videos are very helpful!🙏👍

      😂😂 Oh I've never heard the "wooden pole" analogy... but it's a GOOD one! Consistency is key, Anna... come back and do these regularly and I know you'll make good progress over time.

      @@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"🤣🤣🤣. And my back feel like that. I'm starting tonight with these exercises and I'll let you know the results in a few weeks! Thank you again! These videos are great!👍
