Ok I finally got onboard with stretching..but now I need specific help!

@vivienita Pamela Reif fits that perfectly! Here's a 10 minute leg stretch one.

@vivienita I suggest Yoga with Adriene on YouTube. Lots to choose from.

 

[gigatt18]

@vivienita Yoga is a game changer.

@vivienita Try Yoga with Adriene! She has a program for just about every feeling/time allotment/tight place, there's no expectation that you'll be a SUPER BENDY YOGA PERSON, and it's not terribly woo-y.

@vivienita It's not a video, but I have been going to physical therapy for a knee injury and I have some stretches as homework. I do them right out of the shower while I'm still warm, and I have a timer on my watch that just buzzes every 30 seconds so I know when to switch.

@vivienita Thank you for the video you shared. I love that vibe, and I can't wait to try it.

 

[vivienita]

@gtiwg Right?! No cheesy upbeat ramblings. It's a really zen way to start my morning

 

[gsturdivant]

@vivienita Yoga with Adrienne is a really great youtube channel with multiple yoga flows and stretches geared towards different workouts! She does a great job keeping it simple and none of her poses are too advanced for beginners. Here's her channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/yogawithadriene

@vivienita Sydney Cummings on YouTube posts a 20 min stretch video every Sunday and has like almost 200 posted to date. I like that she has foam roller ones, or more concentrated ones like “hips and back” or whatever. She does talk a lot through it but it’s mostly explaining where you should feel the stretch and how to go deeper into the stretch. But if you don’t like talking at all then I wouldn’t recommend it.

@vivienita I haven't watched too much yet, but there's a yt channel called Strength Side that focuses more on mobility and functional flexibility. The routines are 5-20 mins. I'm 33 so I've recently started looking for more mobility stuff too.

@vivienita Literally all you need is Yoga With Adriene! She’s amazing, has a huge, free library on YouTube, and from her instruction, I’ve come up with my own yoga routine (for when I’m not feeling up to a video), which stretches almost all of me.

 

[remnantsoftruth]

@%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%B9%D8%B5%D8%B1%D9%8A%D8%A9 Yoga with Adriene is great, I’ve been practising with her videos since I added yoga to me workout calendar two years ago and whilst I try other YT channels, I always come back to her. I do her stretch for the lower back and hips at least once a week if not more.

@%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%B9%D8%B5%D8%B1%D9%8A%D8%A9 I like her routines but I find she chats pretty incessantly throughout so sometimes I mute her audio and play my own music. Just personal preference on my part.

 

[questionsquestions]

@lunalovesjesus With you on that. Even with some of her slower flows she'll say, "alright now I'll be quiet in this next pose and just relax into it." 2 seconds pass "So as I was saying..."

@%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%B9%D8%B5%D8%B1%D9%8A%D8%A9 2nd Yoga with Adriene. She's great! It's a little "set your intention and let go of the day" nonsense but pretty minimal. She's got a catalog of hundreds of videos, many in the 7-15 min range with a focus on stretching. I've been surprised at how many different kinds of stretches I've learned following her.

 

[bookworm1007]

@vivienita I have the FitOn app, which has free (with ads) workout videos. You can search yoga and find some 15min or less videos. Foam rolling is also great for loosening up trouble areas.

 

[eshaun92]

@vivienita Peloton stretching? Classes are 5-30 min

 

[ilikebeinganerd]

@eshaun92 Peloton’s Yoga Anywhere series are great, too.

 

[colindominic]

@vivienita Honestly, if that video is working for you, keep up with it for now. The best thing you can do for flexibility is be consistent, and keep at it (almost) every day.

 

[vivienita]

@colindominic I'm definitely going to keep doing it. I guess I was looking for other options to make sure I'm hitting all the right spots? If that makes sense. If I can improve with other stretches I want them too!
