So how did the home birth go!? I hope all is well and you now have a beautiful baby. My wife and I had a home birth as well and it was one of the best decisions we've ever made

"How's your day guys? " first and only instructor that's ever posed this question on a vid. it's mostly things like "hey guys, today we"re..." LOVE IT. That's a real connection. Brilliant.

Can't thank you enough Strength Side. Your workout allowed my 11 yr old son and I to break up the day with some quality movement (which made it quality time). Got him off the xbox and me off the work laptop. We both finished the workout feeling good about ourselves!! Love the work you do!

Found you when trying to find a way to maintain my exercise routine in the absence of a gym (although I like your approach so much that I might just ditch the gym after the stay-at-home is all over). I also continue to practice yoga, stepping up the frequency now, and give more time to improving my Spanish and learning to speak French. Being nearly 70, I don't want to waste any of my remaining time.

And one more thing.......during the dancing frog, my leg doesn't even *almost* begin to lift off the ground, ha! But, I really appreciated your reminder that just making an attempt at such a move will engage and strengthen the body in new ways. I just discovered you and am only beginning to explore your content, but I'm excited about your holistic approach to development of the body and self.

Bro I’m obsessed with these videos, you really saving lives and making us all feel amazing

I am a travel nurse, so while being off, no family with me or anything your videos have helped me tremendously in developing a daily routine

I love this, having been a cardio junkie, I find that stretching is the most effective workout for me.

Hi Josh. Greetings from the UK. Like many here lockdown, home working and a slower pace is allowing my wife and I time to discover new ways of being, and encouraging us to care for our physical, spiritual and mental well being. This is what has led us to discover your channel and we’re loving the challenging but meditative tone of your daily work outs and stretches. Just wanted to check in and say hi, and thank you for what you’re doing. Strange how this pandemic is actually bringing people around the world closer through our isolation and allowing us and the planet to heal through this enforced shut down. My thoughts are with anyone suffering at this time.

Dude I felt the same way when I started putting this routine together... literally Gold :)

Man I always feel so good after following these, I feel a real connection with my body and so much joy once I finish

man i love this guy, i love the pace, the level, the voice, the everything. Its so my vibe and where im at rn... love u guy xx keep em coming and take my money xxxx

I'm a total fan of this guy. . I love his VOs and they sync perfectly with his exercises. I do these everyday and I feel lighter. Merci from France.

Being at home has led me back into my yoga practice seriously. From that routine I needed to build strength and happened upon your meditative strength training. It fit. It is exactly what my body needed. You're instructive style detailing exact body motions and muscles and the contracted slowness prevents injuries. It brings me into my body. Thankyou Josh. I am 68 and female and still learning.

Did some of your videos a couple of months ago and then left a tab open but didn't come back to them, until today... and now I know I will be back here more often! Quar life sure has me looking after my body more, but also feeling tensed a lot more - this felt soo good just now, and inspired me to bring in some of these movements into my yoga practice and classes too! Thank you, I feel much happier and grounded after doing some of your videos today. Tapping into the wisdom of our bodies is the truest medicine!

I messaged you on FB to thank you for your videos! You have literally saved my bacon! I'm a homesteader, and over the winter a repeated back strain turned really bad, leaving me prone on the ground with back spasms in sub zero weather....I could barely move for a week after. I went to a doctor, and found it was just a really bad pull...he gave me a regiment of basic stretching and strength training exercises and a bottle of muscle relaxers. After a month of that, I was checking out similar exercises on youtube, and found Strength Side. I've incorporated a bunch of hip, back, and knee exercises into my own daily morning routine. About a week after, my back started getting tight and hurting again...so I backed off a little with the strength training, and kept up on the stretching.... Fast forward to this morning....it rained last night, and while outside, feeding my animals, my foot slipped a few inches in the mud (while carrying full buckets of food). This is exactly what set my back off over the winter....but today, nothing...my legs, hips and back are stronger AND more flexible...I still feel stiffness, and soreness, pretty much constantly, but it is slowly fading... Mobility isn't an issue, until you don't have it...then it seems it's everything! As such, you have been an inspiration here, and have changed my life in ways I never thought a few stretches could possibly do! Thank you!!!

Crazy to do this follow along 3 years later. Haven’t done it in like 2 years and listening to you talk about Covid brings back a lot of memories during the lock down times. Reflecting back, your videos really changed my life. My body is totally different 3 years later. Thank you so much!!

I enjoyed this even more than the daily practice! I'm now going to do both every day! Thanks Josh.

SO GLAD i found this channel during the lockdown. Give me a boost everyday. You’re a life saver man.

So glad you can do these every OTHER day!

Grateful to have found you for wonderful exercises, I am edging towards 70 and as you mention in your videos, I want mobility 🥳👣🐾🤣💕70 years of age will be inspiring, like my Dad who believed in being active, and enjoying life 😜🦋

Thank you for your stretching routines! I woke up this morning incredibly stiff in my lower back and hamstrings and this short routine helped immensely! 🙌

Many thanks Josh for getting me back into stretching routines after many years of non-practice leading all sorts of pains in my 40s which are now being addressed thanks to you. Cannot thank you enough and love your content, can't wait to explore it more.

I had a lamenectomy and spinal fusion a year ago. I am stiff and constantly in pain. During quarantine I am doing lots of personal development (shadow work) and healing myself physically through videos like this. Thank you Josh ❤

Hi Josh, thank you for creating this routine. I've been doing it for a couple of weeks now. It really helps me to become more flexible, not only my the body, but also in my mind. To answer your question, I'm enjoying the cocooning at home together with my wife who's pregnant and our two other children. Next to this I have been focussing on building a place online where people can share their precious memories with their family in a private and safe way which I hope to launch early next year. The pandemic has given me room to focus on trying to build something positive which I really enjoy.

I appreciate the amazing routines, but I think I appreciate Josh's peaceful voice most. Thank you!

OK that was just what I needed. Currently working in a nursing home doing therapy with Covid+ patients who can't swallow their food safely. It's a high stress environment but I am making the most out of it, and this has actually helped me to maintain structure (e.g. eating healthy, going to bed early, and stretching in the am). This workout is going to start my day off feelin' good. Thanks my friend!

Thanks for the upload, been following for about 2 years now. During this quarantine I built a PC and started editing videos and started my own KZread channel. Thanks again mane, you and upright health have been essential for my improvements in general fitness and climbing!

Again 😄 animals are not our brothers and sisters, but love your channel, very good info for staying healthy and hopefully free of injury!!! Keep up the good work 😃 Genesis, 1st chapter...to Revelation!

You're such a positive and calm creature, it's feels so good watching your videos (exercising along with you) and listening to your talks. I'm very much grateful, keep it up!

Your videos have given me a new meaning to life! Spiritually mentally and physically!

You are healing us.

Really love the stretching. I'm a man that builds muscle very very easily even when just doing body weight training. With your classes, I maintain a good amount of mobility as well as strength. Please don't bring the world of the Covid into this positive environment. Many thanks.

Absolute bloody legend! I always feel amazing after following your routines 🌈

In Australia July 21 and in lockdown- enjoying these exercises - thank you.

Hi from South Africa. You are my best discovery during Corona lock down. I am 48 and struggling with my hormonal extra pounds but your video changed my health routine and I enjoy trying and including your different movements into my yoga practice. Thank you very much for your work!

Even among the videos on this gem of a channel, this is a gem of a routine personally

Thank you Josh for this practice, a good start of my day! To answer your question I picked up my guitar and started to practice again. That feels realy good. Have a nice day. Namaste

Your keeping me motivated during these times. Thank you!!

Loving this! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Awesome! The daily practice has become one of my go to all-round body openers. Love having another level to mix in. Thanks Josh!

felt great!! Love the dancing frog I am definitely a lot more motivated to workout at home whereas previously my motivation only came from having a trainer at the gym. I feel more creative during this time to come up with workouts and to provide my body with activity all through the day instead of only for a certain time. I hope these habits persist into non-quarantimes.

Thank you so much for these stretches!! I do the daily practice all the time, they just make me feel good!

I got came back from the gym and I was watching the 15 minute fully body follow along at the gym. Haven't exercised or even stretched in a while so I really felt the stretches. Good on you for making these videos. They're very helpful.

Day three of doing this session and really loving it, motivated to improve my body and will be using your videos, love your attitude it’s relaxing and inspiring!! Thank you! 🙏🏻❤️ I’m using this time to try cooking and enjoying the results! 🥰

Josh, thank you. You explain it all so well and at a good pace. I'm learning soooo much from you guys. Thank you thank you

thank you so much, i have been really struggling with finding a healthy movement to connect with source and this was amazing, i feel stretched and strong. Reminds me to be happy to be in my body!

I just love this stretch routine . Best one iv ever found ! Its so easy to follow and mimic as your body shows each little muscle working which teach's my body through my eyes what to aim for . As for the positive perspective of this quarantine its amazing for me personally ! . Im energetically sensitive so my aura has been struggling to expand to fullness since being plonked in a noisy class room at 5 . Now i can feel my energy field like it was pre 5 ,,, its so relaxed , shiny and exuberant :) . As a female its actually profound to have men smile , with acknowledgement and respect and give my body the room it craves . Everyone is having to be more aware ,respectful and best of all break habitual movements and behaviours . This breaking of habits is bringing in more consciousness ,and over all i see SO many are waking up .

Feeling way , way, way better !! So glad I found you!

Been doing a few of your stretching routines and workouts for 2 weeks an d can already notice a difference. After moving from a very physical job to a desk job my body had stiffened up and lost strength. I already feel better in myself physically and mentally.

This was sooo helpful. I have a shoulder that always bothers me and when I did these stretches my first time my shoulder popped and the pain I had is gone. Zero. No more.

absolutely love your content. i've been doing yoga just about everyday for 10 minutes for a couple years and adding strength to the movements is absolutely fantastic. Definitely subscribing!

Thing is here where I live, schools are still close, so my 3 kids are being homeschoold. We already spent almost all day together, sharing a lot. Now I have to teach them even how to read. It turned into my own "Aconcagua" to climb. A real trip into getting to be the best teacher and mother I can be. In the meantime I found your videos. And yesterday they began practicing some moves with me! As always...thanks so much for sharing 🙏 🎏

love the follow alongs

Even though I’m a woman. I’m using my time to try and get back in shape and stay away from winter and covid blues...by watching and participating in all your videos. Thank you for your positive energy :)

Hey Josh, Another well done video, thanks! I am 51 and have some advancing arthritis in my left hip and low back. This morning I woke up and it was throbbing... The kind of pain that makes you not want to move it but we all know that movement is key. Anyway I did a couple of sets of this very routine and I'm telling you I can face the day now! It is the combination of lengthening with muscle contraction that makes the difference. Stretching alone WILL NOT help conditions like mine... I hope this kind of approach is found by the masses. We need it!

I've never been one to like workouts, so this was a great way to do something without it feeling like a burden, I loved it. And that cat stretch was amazing.

YOU MAKE STRETCHING FUN AGAIN! Love how you explain the why's behind certain exercises. Keep killin it man!

Besides the dope stretching routine, the positive voice over made this video deserve a like

That felt awesome! I have been doing this every other day and my body feels much less stiff. Thank u!! 💛💛

all of these follow alongs are helping me recover from a frozen shoulder, mucho bueno!!

This is the first video I am watching with this awesome guy and I already love him so much ,so inspiring ...

It was such a great stretching routine! Loved it! Thank you so much!!! 🥰🙏

Wow I am super proud of you for creating this video. I am an avid runner experiencing a severe pain on my left side of my left leg... I already feeling the improvement

Thanks for the video clip. The stretches are amazing! Feel the difference. Trying to use this time learning new things, time with the family & getting fitter. 🙏

Thanks so much for what you are doing! All the Best. 🙏🙏🙏

This stretch was great for me. My hips need lots of stretch and I need more flexibility as I am getting older. I will be back to revisit you for sure! Thank you!

FINALLY!! A stretching workout that's actually fun! I'm so happy I've stumbled upon your channel, but so sad I didn't see it before... Love your moves, love your vibe. Thank you for your excellent work!

Oh Josh you strengthening and stretching techniques are really helping me. Especially the back and knees. Thank for your great follow along, challenging but worth it.😍😍😍

We need more of this!! I’ve been doing this video quit a bit sense you uploaded it and it’s one of my favorites.

I am a dancer and all of your stuff has helped me a lot to explore my body awareness thank you so much, much love and respect.

You're truly my greatest find on KZread in the last couple of years :-) Love your videos, your approach to stuff, your sense of humour :-) I'm at the start of my journey to better mobility, flexibility and to stronger me. I'm a triathlete and I feel it will benefit me not only as a person but also as an athlete. This part of tri training was always the first one to skip if there was not enough time to squeeze it in the schedule. I'd always prefer bike, run or swim (always stretching after though. But not enough). And I knew it wasn't good neglecting it, especially when I'm over 40 now. I have already done a couple of your follow alongs. Some movements are quite tough for me at the moment but I enjoy the workouts immensely and I DO feel so much better afterwards! Thank you for all your work!

Hey Josh, I follow you since a couple of weeks and I love all your videos! Love your relaxed and chilled out style, the music, the background, everything! You're great! Keep it up! Best regards from the black forest in Germany!

I can’t thank you enough for all of your videos. We are living through difficult, trying, scary times. As a frontline essential worker I have to be out there everyday. The stress, the strain and the uncertainty is wearing. But taking a few minutes every day to stretch out and decompress keeps me going. Stay safe. Wash your hands. Be well.

Glad to find you, Josh. Will begin these stretches🙏

Such a blessing! for my body with underactivated glutes. Greatful for your dedication and service towards beautiful world.

Just came across this and I like the fact you get right to stretch....not a lot of pre-talking.

This is a very nice stretching routine. Love it. Feel energized awesomely. Thanks.

Thank you Josh for making these vids and for the encouragement. PEACE

Loved this! Thank you. My right side hip and shoulder is definitely off compared to my right side but ill keep at it!

It always feel better. I definitley feel that cat stretch, however I am ready for more but my cats fall asleep. This quarantine helps to get the body routines into daily life. So far I struggle enough just being home and try to explore new movements of the body. Videos help a lot. Thank you

Insane..those extra add-ons to the exercises that I've been doing a while have changed the game. Gives me so much more to work on, and I didn't even realize it. Cramping on both sides ;) From Italy, quarantined for some time. Love the extra time to work on my STRENGTHSIDE workouts and spend time with the family.
