I do these stretchings every morning right after waking up, for years. Really great results as I don't have back pain, knee issues and can walk 2 hours a day everyday with no problem at 70

I do those things daily and have been for years, still get pains and aches. There isn't any magical formula and sometimes it's pure luck and genes.

Don't usually comment on YT or social media but felt obliged to say thank you, sir, for letting us into your world and sharing this routine. Truly grateful.

@@Strengthside Hey , I was wondering if you could talk about putting you knees in front of your toes when doing a split squat ? I just watched your calisthenics video and I'm going to start doing the circuit a few times a week! But I always heard on fitness video to never let the knee go in front of the foot and can't find much information on that ! Thank you guys !

“I used to punish my body, because I thought that’s what men do.” Ohhhh how I needed to hear this. Thank you ❤

Amazing mindset. The intro speech is so deep. Definitely not hollow feel-good spirituality. Truth with a capital T we ALL are supposed to elevate ourselves towards.

Thank you so much. I am focusing on posture and mobility now, I see a difference.

I am a 51 year old man with OA who broke his body firstly by over training and then through neglect - this channel is a regular feature in my media consumption. Like a good book, starting my day with Strength Side nourishes the soul, calms the mind and heals the body. I got my wake up call 5 years ago, and since that moment I have been taking consistent action to heal and strengthen my body, mind and spirit. Today whilst still living with daily pain, I am the fittest and strongest I have ever been. Thank you for making the world a better place. 🙏💜😊

Was thinking of turning the saturdays into a full body workout after 4 days of workouts during the week, but now I changed my mind and decided to listen to my body, because I feel like my lower back and my body overall needs this type of morning routine more than anything else. Thank you for that.

Saturday is a great day to nurture your body and treat it to a good long stretch. It's like dessert after eating your veggies all week.

One of the best channels for mind-body balance and composure.

this is a superb start of day routine .... and im a 61 year old who has serious back issues for decades and can barely walk. just what i was looking for to get back on my feet. literally. fed up with constant osteopath appointments that go nowhere, time to be self sufficient. so will use this for my starting point and build from here. many thanks. 🙏

I WILL WATCH THIS VIDEO EVERY MORNING, THANK YOU FROM THE PHILIPPINES

I am in awe with every muscle that is visible on his body, and the lighting exerts such a lovely glow on his skin here. The human body is incredible once you start taking full care of it. The best thing is that could be this too!

The reading was amazing. Just changed my whole day. Gonna make it a regular listen! And of course the stretching

Hello Strengh Side. I just want to say thank you, because you are really helping me changing a lot to positiv. Not just about my body, which was really stiff the last years and had multiple problems with my lower back (i'm 21 y/o). I also feel a lot of improvement about my mindset! You're old morning routine was the start for me grinding in those "live better" part. I did the streching every morning since april last year. I got so flexibel, im beating my friends in twister! 😀 And now, i really like this new routine, most because of the shoulder part, where i am still a bit unflexibel. I also like the bridge and the sitting-knee-to-chest-strech. And i love the just listening to the beginning. We need to remind ourselves about the things, that are said there! I'm already starting to streach my hamstrings and periformis muslce. Take on, what you're doing! You are giving so much to the people, who are watching you're videos. Thank you so much, helping me turning my live in to a healthy and good one! 🙏🙏🙏 I hope, that you're reading this comment. Sorry about my language, i'm from Germany. 😅

Woke up to this, and I already feel my day is going to be great!

Maybe an Evening / before Bed Routine too for the next videos?🙌

Oooh yes agreed!

It is such a joy to follow you along over the years and I continue to be awed by the blessings that you share with the world. I woke up this morning utterly stiff from 4 days of moving houses and this morning stretch changed everything. Great follow along. While I was listening to you at the beginning I thought it would be so nice to have an audio book read by you Josh or meditations in which you read from inspirational texts with pauses. Your voice is so calming and beautiful. Also BIG UP for the new strength side page - I think I will join. Take care guys and have a good Now.

I’m 52 and have been bodybuilding for 39 years but only started stretching yoga callisthenics in the last two years. The most important thing for me when I wake up is doing my 20 minute yoga/stretch routine. It’s honestly reversed at least 15-20 years in terms of how great my body feels and how much energy I feel. Exercise is the elixir of life no doubt about it!

Hi, I’m not medically trained, but as someone with substantial neurological troubles myself because of an injury, I thought it might be helpful to you if I said the following here: An under-appreciated remedy (not necessarily a panacea, but it can sometimes be that too) for most (if not all) neurological disorders, is meditation. To do it effectively; start small and simple: focus above all on building up a reliable habit; at the beginning you should be doing the meditation by setting aside some time in a regular window each day, and sitting in a relaxed upright position (say, in a straight-backed chair without a pad), and concentrating on your breath (breathe in for a slow count of 4, then breathe out for 6) for a fixed period (eg. set a 15-45 min timer, depending on what you can manage). During this time try to not become focussed on any of your thoughts. If you find your attention becoming attached to something, try to gently guide it back to your breath. There are lots of directions a practice like this can be evolved once you have that down, but getting this stage right is very important for later development, and will do you a huge amount of good on its own. I’d challenge you to try it.

Been following this routine for a few weeks but it just hit me that those last few words are just pearls of wisdom. 🙏🏼

I would like to express my gratitude. I have been watching a lot of your videos, and you are one of the few true sources of Inspiration. I worked as a gym instructor and also meditate regularly. With you I observe things which support my perspective on working out and looking at life, but at the same time you offer different approaches and views which help me grow. Thank you for that with all my heart from Berlin.

Your voice is so assuring and thank you for sharing excerpts from Derek Sivers book, "How to Live". I really want to read this for myself. I have a need to get inside my own head for awhile and go on a quest for that elusive "contentment".

Exactly what i'm trying to do in this year. No media no news skip social. Only emotions. Thank you

Read to us more often please. Haha. So good!! Great entree for the movement to follow 🙌🏽

Been watching the original one of these every day for 2.5 years!!! Pumped for the update!

The scenery at the beginning of the video is both stunningly beautiful and peaceful. The stretches are incredibly helpful. Thank you Josh and Trevor.

This was a sad realization for me. This simple stretching made me sweat. Few years back this routine would be nothing for me. Thanks for your years long effort to make us more flexible, strong and calm. 💪❤️

love you strrength side, genuinely. been watching you since quarintine and you have changed my life

spent last summer with some friends doing strength side daily. what a positive difference it made! winter came, and we all became busier with work and play (skiers & boarders). I am having the best winter in a decade. I stopped taking time for strength side. woke up two mornings ago to headache, very stiff shoulders, lower back... well I am back. two mornings of strength side and the improvement is immediate, not only physical but the positive mental energy. I will be joining strength side. thanks

I’m recovering from a broken neck & collapsed lung. It was a freak accident that occurred during a training ride. (competitive endurance cycling). I loved riding a bike. I no longer can. I have a titanium rod in my neck, and I’m fused from C3 to C6. I’m so fortunate to be upright & fully functional, other than stiffness & limited ROM in my c spine. But I’ve been stuck on these limitations instead of having gratitude for all that I still have. I stumbled upon this channel and am profoundly grateful.

You make me want to be a better person. Thank you.

Great as always. My morning routine always starts with one or more of your videos. I start with some stretching, then an ab workout and then some meditation/breath work. Thanks for everything 👌

Thank you, guys. Have a great weekend 🙏

Love the words of wisdom... What a wonderful tranquil and serene location. Thank you! 💖🕉️🙏

Your videos are so relaxing, I don’t actually have to do the movements. 😂 I call it exercise by proxy 👍

Nice to hear you read how West meets East in the reflection. thank you.

Amazing. The universe delivers this wisdom to me. Thank you for the post.

Love this. Physically exhilarating and mentally cleansing. Thanks 💓

another awesome one! love to watch (on a bigger time scale) how you gently expand beyond 'just-focus-on-body' - heartfelt thanks for all you do and are!💚

Observe and learn is my new mantra. I have to stop thinking like a tutor. Thank you, Josh. Stay free, stay safe

The fact that the video begin's with a lecture about life, changes everything. We're stretching our minds and spirits before even move the body. Literally, respect. God bless

I want to thank you and your team for putting the time into creating content, and in particular, this video. After grinding with heavy weights for a few months, I am stepping back and focusing on my mobility. Your videos are easy to follow, and more importantly, they garner results.

Beautiful reflections and movement routine. Thank you!

This was really well done. The music, commentary… the reading and the stretches. Great way to start the day

I recently started putting this into my morning routine. Thank you very much for the video.

Thank you guys!!

I've been doing this routine for a week and I've just realized the existence of a group of muscles I was completely unaware of... tight! Thanks so much for putting these stretches together. Will definitely come back tomorrow!

I absolutely love this. Thank you, Josh!

I needed every second, every syllable, of this. Thank you, truly.

this now has to be one of my favorite stretching routines. thanks guys💞

Wow great video. Love the beginning intro, be a deep lake, silent and full of wisdom, feel intentionally. Awesome opening stretches. And great reminder to be kind to our body. 🙏🙌👏☺️💯

Thank you so much for this. I love the quotes in the beginning, gentle reminders of what to truly focus on rather than all the ‘should/need’ to that crowds the mind. The stretch was fantastic and very much needed. Thank you for curating such thoughtful content, that helps, rather than contributes to all the mindlessness.

great routine and words of wisdom....

I love these morning stretch routines with the reading!! Thanks

love the words at the beginning...

One of the best stretch videos I've seen, works perfect for me. Loved the intro.

I would like to see more vids of you starting off this way, reading a passage off a book! Happy New Years!

Derek Sivers is an amazing person!

Thank you. I will definitely try it out

Love this! Great way to start my mornings. Thanks guys!

This was too good. I’ve tried many stretch routine, but this one was so perfect. Simple and to the point. My lower back impingement is gone. I sit all day, so I will start doing this twice per day. Feels amazing! Instant rush/high

I’m soon to be 48 years old woman 😅 and I find your videos and attitude very helpful. and inspiring. Thank you for sharing your knowledge 💫

Been waking up at 5 AM to go to the gym for the past few weeks. The weight is coming down but now its finally time for me to tackle my flexibility issues. Day 1 of me doing this on a regular basis. Thank you for the video.

Well, that hurt so good! Boy I hope to get two days in a row in on this. Thanks for your energy. As I beat the heck out of my body for about 27 years hiking, biking, running swimming weight, lifting tree, climbing, etc. etc. etc. are now at 69 years old. I’m happy to get through a stretch session.

THANK YOU! Love your stretching videos. I have many of your moves already in my varied routine but always find a new one/two to incorporate. Love to stretch!!! :)

Awesome worm up excercise this morning, I feel much better stretching with you. Thank you.

Thanks for the well thought out sequence.
