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

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?

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

Need variation for some stretch that are hard for beginner like hip flexor while grabbing legs and pigeon. Other are easy to ajust if needed.

I did it, but not half as graceful as you 🤣

Step 13 was very difficult to attempt. How can I build up to that? My bent leg refuses to face outward 😅

Marcy

The app could be better structured as having to click through each exercise is a bit annoying. Everything else is wonderful
