===========================

Have you ever searched for “stretching routines” or “stretching exercises” here on YouTube?

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!

knee and pull that over to your left side until you get a good comfortable stretch through your lower back and through your hip we're going to hold this for 30 seconds [Music] now we're going to repeat to the other side so my right hand grabs my left knee pulls my left knee over to my right side until we get a good comfortable stretch in the lower back and hip on the left side [Music] from here we'll move into a hamstring stretch left leg goes straight both hands Cup right behind the right knee and then straighten that knee out until you get a good stretch right up here in the hamstring muscle [Music] [Music] and then we'll repeat on the left side it's important that I mention that you should keep your stretching very comfortable I want you to push to the point where it starts to get painful but I don't want you to push into pain so keep stretching um comfortable as comfortable as you can [Music] next we'll get into a pform stretch cross your right leg over your left knee grab your left knee and pull it up towards your chest until you get a good stretch in that right hip [Music] [Music] [Music] repeat the stretch on the left side cross your left leg over your right knee pull that right knee up towards your chest until you get a good stretch on that left hip [Music] next we'll move into a tall kneeling Hip Flex or stretch and so put your right knee on the ground take a big lunge step with your left foot scoot your weight forward onto that left foot until you get a good stretch here through the right front of your hip [Music] real simple transition now shift your weight back to the right knee with the left leg out straight keep your back straight and lean forward until you get a good stretch through the left hamstring [Music] and then we'll repeat that series on the other side left knee goes down right foot comes forward lunge onto that right foot until you get a good stretch here through the left hip flexor and then hold that for 30 seconds [Music] and then again shift the weight back to the left knee right foot comes forward until we get a good stretch right here through that right hamstring [Music] next is a seated spine rotation stretch I'm going to cross my left leg over my right my right elbow comes to the outside of my left knee just until I get a good stretch this one's a little higher up in your back comfortable stretch for 30 seconds [Music] and then repeat on the other side left leg goes out right knee crosses over left elbow to the outside of the right knee and rotate sometimes I get a few good pops out of this one [Music] next is one of my favorites for the entire back this is a child's pose stretch we're going to come on to all fours sit your bottom down onto your heels until we get just a good stretch all through the back through the lats tuck your chin into your chest and just sink into that stretch stretching the whole spine with this one for 30 seconds [Music] next we're going to do some upper back extension so what I want you to do is place your fingertips to the back of your head bring your elbows together and fold forward and then we're going to open everything up look up towards the ceiling separate your elbows out feel a good stretch through your chest and then come right back down and then we'll just repeat that about three times so up look up to the ceiling and then fold back back down finally is going to be an upper trap stretch for your neck left ear over towards your left shoulder with your left hand come up to the opposite side of your head and apply just a gentle over pressure till we get a good stretch through the right side of the neck [Music] and finally we're going to repeat that over here to the right side and so right ear over to right shoulder till we stretch that left side of the neck [Music] out again this is a simple convenient 8 Minute stretching routine we addressed all the major muscles and all the major joints in the body didn't take us long no equipment required

  1. So – how flexible are you?! Where are you the tightest and what do you need the most help with? COMMENT below and let me know if you liked this video and how I can help you in the future! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 (Also – not a bad idea to supplement your stretching with some consistent core strengthening. Here's a 6-minute core routine I recommend: https://youtu.be/pJp08smdcFk )

  26. I sit at a desk all day and my inner thighs are so tight that it has given me a limp, it's painful to try to stretch, I would love to see a stretching routine that helps to gradually release the tightness.

  27. I need to meditate in order to train myself to meditate every day lol. Haven’t made it a habit but still working on it.

  34. this is day 1 , I will be coming back to update you guys frequently each month. As of day 1, I cannot touch my toes and im very stiff and not flexible at all. Hopefully this will all change soon. Stay tuned!

  35. I loooove this video! The stretches are simple but affective. Music is also very soothing. Check it out👍💯

  36. Terrible video with no real time stretching to follow along. I had to pause and stretch for the entire video. You say 30 second stretch and the video is cut to where it’s barely 5 seconds each stretch.
