My14 year old daughter has been doing your videos for approx 6mths, She is homeschooled and I am a single mother, She was about 30lbs overweight and had some anxiety issues;after trying to get her to walk with me and her older brother and then go to the gym(which we both joining,nothing worked until she came upon fitness blender! she has lost 10lbs and is a faithful blender!! She always try to get me to do it and I would start and stop!! This morning however, I decided to get up @ 5am and do yur stretches;It's a God send!!Please DO NOT let certain critics stop you guys because you are helping soooo many of us!! THANK YOU!!!!
Brian D Your comment is uselessly mean and you probably have no idea how hurtful it could be. If you really don’t care, then just keep scrolling or ignore the comment
This is the first time I'm commenting on a Fitnessblender video, though I've been following their videos for a couple of months now. I suffer from insulin resistance which has caused me to gain nearly 25 pounds in a very short period of time, completely turning my life around and killing my self-confidence. It's very hard to lose weight but I'm trying everyday. I know it's not much, but with Fitnessblender, I've lost 5 pounds, which is a huge deal for me, considering I was struggling to keep my weight from rising even further. This video is a testimony to the chance FB videos have made. I have been doing this workout for a few weeks now, 3-4 times a week. And trust me when I say this, I could barely get past my knees once upon a time and now I can touch my toes! Kelly and Daniel are the most sincere people I know, and hoping to be working out with them for a long long time. And to all of you, don't give up!
+Risha Ahmed Yay so glad for you, girl!! I've been working out forever and I was getting sooo bored and kind of in a plateau until I found these guys. I agree. They are wonderful. I pray you continue to see AMAZING results and have so much joy in your workouts.
+Esse Johnson Thank you so much, I really hope so. 😊 it's so frustrating looking at the weighing scale and seeing no change. but these guys are so motivating.
+Risha Ahmed I've had that for years. It's frustrating, but don't lose heart. Keep moving. We have to move more than normal people now. You'll get used to it someday. You're doing great!
This has been by absolute go-to post cardio stretch for years. The exercises are perfect for easing my muscles out of "go mode", and the soothing narration helps my brain settle. One big plus of your videos is that there's no music track, so I can choose my own music to play under the voiceover. Thank you for providing such a valuable service!
David I been doing it for 3 weeks now after I was told I have degenerate changes in my spine after I had a fall, it has helped me massively I feel so much lighter and flexible and my muscles feel plumped now 😊
I am 36 years old and out of shape for my entire life. I couldn't touch my toes even as a child without bending my legs. When I started doing this routine, I couldn't really even reach past my knees when bending over. It's been about six weeks now. I do this about every day, and some days I do it 2-3 times. I use it as a warm up and a cool down. After two weeks I could touch my toes. After a month I could rest my knuckles on the floor. Six weeks in and I can put my palms flat on the floor. Range of motion is better in all of the muscle groups. The video is the perfect length and variety...I don't get bored but the stretches are held for long enough to really make a difference every time I do it. My life is changed. Thank you!
I've done many stretching routines but I can honestly say this is my favourite. Been following it for about 3 months now and I never thought I'd enjoy stretching as much as I do with this. Thanks a lot.
I just wanna say that I volunteer with elderly people and run a workout routine for them and fitness blender your contentent is so easy to follow even my blind people I work with can follow it and keep in shape..
I just wanted to say thank you guys soooo much for this. I have had issues with my knees since I had my ACL replaced about 8 years ago and never completed my phys therapy + haven't been working out. My job keeps me active but I have lots of knee pain and then recently hurt my back. This video helped me realize just why I can't fully crouch or sit with my knees under me... it's because my quadriceps are extra tight, combined with knee pain. I'm slowly working on it and this video really helps me to get that full stretch without lots of pain. I feel so much better afterwards. Thanks for all of your excellent videos!
I just wanted to comment in hopes I help someone reading this: this exercise is amazing for my piriformis syndrome/sciatica. I feel absolutely amazing after this, nearly immediately. I pair this workout with their lower back/sciatica stretch video (i do not have lower back issues but whew, does this feel great either way. I highly recommend this video for anyone suffering from this horrible nerve pain because this really does make it all melt away!
@peakper4mance The standing quads stretch addresses the quadriceps, though you have a point in that we do tend to focus more heavily on the hamstrings in this video. One reason why is that the quads are stretched much more often than hamstrings in natural, everyday activities & movements. Good eye!
We have workouts in all kinds of different formats - really if you don't like one you can usually click on any other one of ours & find something totally different. Plus - cut it in half & you'll burn 1/2 the calories ;) Thank you for the feedback.
@daysie76 Thanks Daysie! It's great to hear positive feedback. Look out for an upper body stretching routine in the next 1-2 weeks. Thank you for the suggestion :) Kelli
I had abdominal surgery just over 2 months ago, and it's so amazing how tight my body is now. I can barely touch my toes, but I'm so happy to have started. I know it will take a while, but I will be much more flexible in no time with these stretches😄
Hello :) We have a bunch of different stretching routines, it's easiest to search through them on our website. This would be a great one for before bed.
Hi Sparkle, yes, we can definitely do a full body stretching routine. That's on my list for the next time our regular jobs allow us the time to film workouts! We have a couple of workouts already that would be great for someone with fibromyalgia (after a doctor's approval, of course). Check out our Low Impact Cardio & Toning Workout for Beginners & our Workout at Work Chair Workout. Watch for the stretching video soon! -Kelli
Thank you for this and the others rutines they help a lot and i saw results,even I didn't do it all days almost two or 3 in the week,but help me a lot in flexibility and relief pain in my back,thanks again
You should do this after your leg day workout as a cool down. This helps stretch the muscles you've used and helps reduce the amount of soreness the next day. Before you start your workout you should do a warm up with dynamic stretches (where you move your muscles to warm up your body) for at least 5 minutes. FitnessBlender has plenty to chose from. If you do static stretches like in this workout before you've warmed your body thoroughly, you are likely to injure yourself.
You actually shouldn't stretch before weight lifting. It weakens your muscles since they become relaxed after stretching. Rather, foam rolling is ideal.
When you guys share our workouts & website with friends, you are helping us grow, and the faster we grow, the faster we are able to put out new workout videos. We very much appreciate the referrals and have no plan on slowing down when it comes to providing workout videos. We love what we are doing! Thank you all for watching and making this possible.
Best tutorial on lower body and range of motion fitness. I have back pain and my hip pain is very bad. I did two whole sets and when I stood up and proceeded with some forward motion, my pain is gone. Thank you for the training.
wonderful for a simple and quick streching routine! I do both the upper body along with this lower body streching after I do my workout, and it feels wonderful! You can always increase or decrease the intensity of these streches, to your flexibility ability. Thanks!
I feel like I comment on absolutely every video but I'm just in love with this channel. Thanks for this stretching routine, it felt great after y first workout in a week! I had to do low impact today but I can't wait to do more of your HIIT routines... I am a real big fan :D And rest assured that I have told all my friends about you, many are excercise junkies like me and love you as well!
I was having pain and aches after my treadmill workouts, but this video really helped in reducing the hip pain i was feeling!! Thank you so much! I now play this video after every workout i do!!!
Thank you fitness blender ! You're my go to for most exercisies and stretches! I can always find a video to fit my exercise and stretch needs! Thank you!
I find it really important to stretch after every workout. I don't know if it is all in my head but I end up less soared if I stretch enough after working out. Most workout videos don't include a complete stretching routine and take 5 seconds per stretch only. This video has been really helpful for me. Thanks!
You can always, always improve your flexibility, no matter how old you are. Plus, you are only 14! Don't worry about it, start now & keep it up so that you can stay active and healthy as you age.
I've shared with two work colleagues today. Thank you so much for this as, getting older, I can't jog (my favourite sport) as much as I want and used to.
You hit it right on the nail! They are the best! I was on a hunt yesterday and stumbled across this channel. So very thankful I found them. They give us time to prepare, let us know while doing it if we're doing it the right way, and very clear instructions :0)
Talk to your doctor first, but routines like the one above can make a big difference in flexibility. Just be consistent and make sure not to force range of motion.
Another year this is still my favorite stretch routine for after leg day. Thank you so much.
Agreed
Mine too! It's just so simple and easy to follow
Been using this routine for years! Still my favorite!

No one cares about you or your daughter’s life story... Jesus

@@briand2321 literally what's the point in posting that? She was explaining how much she enjoyed the video by using a story. Fuck you.

This has been by absolute go-to post cardio stretch for years. The exercises are perfect for easing my muscles out of "go mode", and the soothing narration helps my brain settle. One big plus of your videos is that there's no music track, so I can choose my own music to play under the voiceover. Thank you for providing such a valuable service!
Thank you SO MUCH for not having music in the background! Great thorough stretch, clear direction, plus silence or my own music=PERFECT!
Awesome compliment, you nailed everything we aim for! Thank you for the feedback, many more workouts on the way!
I like that the instructions are to the point and given in an straightforward eloquent way, makes it much easier to follow
This was great! Liked that it does the stretching on real-time with you and explain things clearly. Thank you!
Just subed...I love that there's no music.
Daniel is the best workout explainer out there
This helps relieve my back and leg pain! i was suffering from lower back pain for a long time! this stretches are really helpful
Much appreciated.
I'm still using this routine after 11yrs
Me too! ✋️😀
Best lower body stretch I have done!
This is the best thing after a long run :) thanks fitnessblender!
Agreed
Stretching is one of the most important things in any exercise or workout !
It really is! Thank you :) And, glad your muscles are feeling better.

Sabahat Zafar do you still do it
David I been doing it for 3 weeks now after I was told I have degenerate changes in my spine after I had a fall, it has helped me massively I feel so much lighter and flexible and my muscles feel plumped now 😊

Best calf stretch I’ve learned so far
I am happy for you that you are seeing success in your efforts :)
I'm glad you kept on saying breathe normally because if you didn't I would probably pass out 😂😂😂
😂
Macy k Huffman totally I will pass out😂🤣
Lol 😆!
Ditto...im like..."oh yea I almost forgot to breathe" lol
Thank you very much :) We have many other stretching routines (and more on the way) have you checked those out?
I've done many stretching routines but I can honestly say this is my favourite. Been following it for about 3 months now and I never thought I'd enjoy stretching as much as I do with this. Thanks a lot.
After -save your longer stretching periods like this one for after a workout.
It is amazing seeing how far Fitness Blender has gotten and how many lives it has changed. I am thankful for this channel.
will forever be my favorite lower body stretching routine 💖
I just wanna say that I volunteer with elderly people and run a workout routine for them and fitness blender your contentent is so easy to follow even my blind people I work with can follow it and keep in shape..
Always swear by your workout videos and warm ups/cool downs! 🙌🏻 Thank you!

Have I told you guys since how many years I have been doing just this for my cool down! God bles bless bless you guyss!!
who is doing this after leg day?

Felt those stretches! But after I totally loss any tightness. Thanks so much!
I just did it with Chinese relaxing music playing in background, and I feel wonderful :D
Thank you so much! I have a race tomorrow I’m really nervous but after these stretches I’m confident!
@98JonasLover For strength training and toning moves, you should expect to feel a difference in 1-2 weeks. Is that what you meant?
@Msdoor17 So glad you enjoyed it! Many more free full length videos to come.
I do this everyday after my workout, it's amazing, thank you! :D
@Jiphenner Thank you!
This is great for lower back pain.:)
Fitness blender I love, love, LOVE you! BEST work outs for home! They are easy, fast, and work wonders!!!
Ah, these are great! My favourite is the crossleg glute stretches
Thank you so much for this! I'm aiming to be able to touch my chest to my knees and do my splits and I can slowly but surely feel the difference
Great video! I didn't really understand the last two stretches
Great stretches, feels great!
I just love this stretching routine!
