I do all of these before I walk. I don’t spend a lot of time on them, but I can definitely feel the increase in range of motion and reduced stiffness, as a 55yo man I am definitely not as flexible as I was even 10yrs ago. Thanks guys
I get tight muscles and stretching prior to walks really helps me. Otherwise those calves - tight; glutes - tight and even my ankles get tight. I’ll continue stretching.
Those stretches involving the ankles gave me the heebeegeebees! In August I suffered a dislocated and fractured ankle and watching those made visualize my fall. Stepped down into the garage and the rubber mat on the garage had water underneath it (hurricane Debbie was on her way in). The mat with my right foot on it slid and the left foot initially stayed in place. I could just see that dislocation taking place. Soooo… I’d better pass on those stretches and continue my now much slower walking with a hiking stick in each hand. Still thoroughly enjoy your videos and on the whole, the great suggestions you offer. 😊
I have foot neuropathy from cisplatin, carboplatin and taxol. I stretch and warm up my feet before I walk. I was also having problems with ITB and hip pain from radiation. I found upright health and discovered how to fix that problem.
Most elderly people have problems getting up off the floor. As a child you spend a lot of time on the floor, adults do not. Doing yoga / stretching exercises on the floor can improve balance, mobility, flexibility and the ability to get up and down.. Just getting up and down to the floor in a controlled manner is difficult for many older adults. Play with your children on the floor. Bend over, get down and pull weeds in your garden. Play with a pet on the floor. The more effort you make to work on balance and flexibility will pay dividends as you age.
I don't think stretching does all that other people claim it does. I think it makes me more limber, and the exercises thence strengthen the muscles that are necessary to keep bones and tendons and muscles in the proper places (ligaments, too). And they prevent charlie horses in my experience.
Pointless at any time. More likely to break something as you get older. Although I love you guys, good luck Bob, the only thing I will do is a wall squat to lower my blood pressure, which is not really a stretch. I did all the exercises you did in this video when I was younger, (30s) but they did nothing positive to me but I am pretty sure I injured an ankle or some other part of my foot. So, in spite of your good intentions I do not see this as good advice especially if you bounce like Mike did, don't do them unless you can afford to take time off work while you heal.
Do you have stretches or exercises for Femoral Nerve pain? I have L3-L4, L4-L5, L5-S1 disc issues, constant 😮left hip pain that radiates down front of left thigh. I often wake up during the night with ache in front of thigh as if I dragged applied pressure with my fingers spread from above knee up to mid thigh. This is the pain pattern I try to describe how and where my thigh muscle aches. My lower back is so stiff, hip flexors need help. All I want to do is lay prone. I have been wearing a back brace, which seems to help, but I still have the extreme left hip pain that radiates from my left hip down to the front of my thigh. I used to think I had sciatica and have been using heat on my lower back and left hip, which from what I understand irritates the nerve. Any ideas? I’ve been dealing with this for over two years. 🙏 Thank you!
Have you tried an SI Belt in addition to the back brace? You can also stretch the femoral area by laying on the very edge of the bed vertically and letting that leg drop down to the side as low as is comfortable and without falling. Try ice therapy. Also a massage therapist certified in myofacial release technique. And if you can find a PT, chiropractor, or massage therapist who can do light traction either w a machine or by lightly pulling the ankle and leg to open the area in the femoral area. Try just one technique at a time once or twice a week and see how you feel that week bc you DO NOT want to overdo it. Hope something works ✝️🙏🕊️

Thank you for sharing! We are happy to hear you have found what works for you!

Thank you. Very helpful.
I can tell you from walking 38 miles in a little bit less than two weeks time and stretching helps so much at least in my opinion

thankyou i'm enjoying it
Watching Mike do his lunges is so out of this world !!! I wish I could do a little lunge. Maybe someday.
I think Mike was a little startled by Brad in the intro 👀 😂

Same here could do all those things back when I was in my prime😅
OMG. The bouncing!
Is it true that if you have cervical lordosis you should not do chin tucks?
What shoes are you guys wearing? They appear to be close to zero drop. Having a hard time finding those.

My heart breaks for you. Back/nerve pain that does not go away is so mentally and physically debilitating.

Thank you! 🙏
Stretching before walking? Like who needs to stretch before doing such basic movement?
No one.
Lol. Really. Agree. Did cavemen stretch before they walked? Lol. @mikecar52
Yoooo
