Description: Upper body mobility routine

It wasn't hard but it felt like a great stretch and I think that's the point

Hayden

Great recovery workout day! Also got me testing out muscles I have not isolated in a while, and I am always surprised at what I discover needs more work.

Coleen

Love these mobility exercises! Would love to have some longer routines as options and a complete full body mobility!

These stretches were exactly what I needed and was looking for — going to add this to my routine to do. Thank you!

Laurie Weiler

I would like to know if I can/ should pair this with an upper body weight training or body weight training session back to back or with a lower body session?

I've been sinking into a depression and this is what I need, just to feel better

Nice to do to just move around in the morning and wake up your upper body!

Great! But I couldn’t see your arms in the banded back stretches (forgot the exact name).

Yvette

For the seated arm extension should I find a higher platform for my arm to feel the stretch?

Lunaa ✨🌝

Loved this flexibility class! Great way to wake up and start the day with.

Everyday stretch routine

Would be nice to add some more accessible (easier) modifications to those straddles. I don’t think mobility is all about fake it till you make it :) 
Also, I’d love to know what makes you choose 15 seconds threshold for the stretches. 
I’d love to see a bit more clearer path to “achieving mobility”, not random mobility videos.
Love your content tho!

Radek

Feelling great! my entire chest and back feels definitely more mobile

Estelle

Victor Nguyen

Lower body mobility routine

Loved this! Can't wait to keep working on my split for both legs.

Ilane

Used this for trying to get my splits (day 1, woohoo!) but also for stretching my legs/hips after doing the Don't Quit day 1 yesterday. Felt so nice and I was close to my split than I thought I'd be! Still nowhere close, but hey, I'll take the win! This was easy to follow along with and great when you don't have a lot of time to stretch.

Bobbi

Split Progression Routine

Know what needs work and what is ok after that!

Emma rao

Quirine

Ankle & Hip Mobility Routine

I loved the workout. I am incorporating it before bed. I hope I can achieve the full split because I need it for taekwondo and I am already 33 years old :) so it is kind of hard to have good gains at that age

Deni

Varun

Middle Splits Mobility Routine

Great pre workout mobility training however the pace of the routine could be a bit slower. Maybe it is just me but I had to pause the video multiple times to catch up. Otherwise great 🙂👍🏻

Jana

An beneficial stretching routine when your running late… quick and efficient👍
