What's good about your stretch - in comparison to other films - is that you are giving a time for each position. I find it awkward that in other videos people change positions so fast that I can't really indulge myself into them. Secondly you all the time remind to be gentle to yourself. I had once spine injury while doing yoga because I was pushing it too much. Thirdly the positions you propose are sometimes hard but doable which is another advantage of your work. So thanks a lot. You're doing a good job here! Regards from Kabul in Afghanistan.
I’m a web developer for a living and sit on a desk all day. Its also been 3 years since I’ve done any heavy lifting and pretty much lost all muscle I’ve since gained. This flexibility stretch for upper body and the leg stretches from the other video has given me one of the best workouts I’ve had in a long time. Thanks John!
Yes lads, appreciate the info! Best vid I've found for shoulders chest and back mobility/flexibility, started working out more myself recently and my back and shoulders have been killing me. Thankful for finding your vid really helped release tension and alleviated pain haha, will go back to this routine regularly! Love, have a good day all
Thanks mate, just starting and found this and the lower body really good, I'm not flexible at all and find some things hard but do the best I can, will incorporate this with my gym workouts. Cheers
My shoulders have been killing me, that stretch where you interlock fingers under your back is life changing! I’ll definitely be coming back for more of your videos!
Thank you so much mate. Couldn’t express how relief I am now. Went to massage therapist several times but no long results. Just realised what I was missing since 2 yrs of heavy workout. This will be my weekly routine for sure. 🙏💪🏽
You dudes could not have timed this better! I have terrible back pain since yesterday. I think I may have trapped a nerve. Hoping this will help to relieve some pain! Thanks!
So helpful! Thank you. I sit in my car and at a desk lots for my job. This was so good for stretching out my back. Really liked the stretch where you put your arms behind you. Thanks again!
Both this video and the lower body mobility one have been great for me. I had no mobility whatsoever before and now I’m really starting to see the benefits.
Great video! Thank you for showing streches that people can actually do. Somtimes I watch trainers show streches that are impossible for me simply because I'm to tight and they don't show any other version and simply yes "you gotta be able to do that" So thanks so much!
This was awesome! could you possibly do a full body stretch for people who are active or do a lot of sport. Something that can be dine consistently sat least three times a week!
Awesome stuff ive been following your lower body mobility vid every day for the last week. I feel great! Now I'll add this one in and continue on. Thanks!!!
John on all fours is my favorite! Probably explains why I love all his yoga/stretching videos. Please make this a series... John Does Yoga! His voice is so calming too.
flexibility is the max length of stretch, mobility is how far your brain thinks it can stretch, so even if you feel nothing, this can still be good after a workout
@@mop4093 That's not how hypermobility works. I can injure myself through overstretching, unfortunately, I can't tell when I'm doing that because to me it doesn't hurt. HM is a problem with the joints and ligaments, not muscles, so although my body will let me stretch super far and bend where i shouldn't, my body can be damaged in the process. (E.g. when I walk or run I have to be careful that my knee joints don't bend backwards as I can and do regularly hurt myself if not paying attention.)
@@kayhardy-bayley u can bend that far since your brain dosent know whats the limit of flexibility, it uses pain to signal it from going further which is not working due to your condition. what your focus should be to strengthen the muscles supporting the joints and to increase the length of the muscles. when creating a workout routine, stay aware of body fat %, kinesthetic, reflex , balance, agility, endurance, strength, flexibility and u can forget about mobility due to your condition.
Try and release off your anterior(chest and anterior delts) then look at your humeral-scapular rhythm, Scapular position when doing it and see if you've any winging etc. I find a lot of the time i get the clicking and pain when Im tight at the front and dont really focus on my Scapula movement ( I find retracting them to be beneficial when shoulder pressing )
I’ve got atp and my shoulders are rolled forward. Cant squat with my heels on the floor or sit 90 degrees in an L shape. Will this and the lower body vid help? Really wanna touch my toes eventually.
Love this. My only complaint is that dark clothes, dark mat and dark floor make it difficult to see the finer detail when you're laying on a mat a few feet away. I keep having to stop and get up to look at the placement of feet, etc
Old video, I know, but still quick tip: The black clothes on dark mat and black floor are sometimes hard to see and thus makes it harder to follow along. Otherwise, great explanation!

Still iconic in 2021! Still use this from time to time

I feel soooooo good after this! Will try to incorporate it into my morning routine. Thank you very much!
This video and the lower body were fantastic!
A lot of these stretches were new to me and they felt great! Definitely will be trying these more thank you
Loved it! My mobility improved a lot since I started doing Yoga. I do Crossfit 6 times/ week and Yoga once. By the way, liked your hair cut too.
J & S I do the same! Yoga is so relaxing and a different pace from Crossfit. ☺️

I've gone a good 10 days with a shoulder pain after rock climbing.. This is magic ! Cheers!
Excellent as always.
Another favorite discovered.
So helpful! Thank you. I sit in my car and at a desk lots for my job. This was so good for stretching out my back. Really liked the stretch where you put your arms behind you. Thanks again!
This was great! Some of these stretches were really intense for me, in a good way.
Both this video and the lower body mobility one have been great for me. I had no mobility whatsoever before and now I’m really starting to see the benefits.
Still an amazing routine, try to use it 2/3 times a week and it really does help.
Thank you and so good as we are locked down and at home. Now the start to my day.
Everyone else : watching this to get fit
Me : watching it for online school HPE
Loved it i will like some mobility for the lower back as i think its a tough area for many weightlifters(deadlifts or squats) Many thanks by the way!
MASSIVE THUMBS UP. More please
This was amazing!!!
Great stretch and felt splendid afterwards.
I would love to see update on both mobility routines! Thank you!
Liked it a lot. Please have more of this.
Nice routine! Will do this multiple times a week.
Great video! Thank you for showing streches that people can actually do. Somtimes I watch trainers show streches that are impossible for me simply because I'm to tight and they don't show any other version and simply yes "you gotta be able to do that"
So thanks so much!
My pleasure, happy to helps
Keen to incorporate mobility stretching/movement into my routines so found this and the lower body vid useful as a starting point. Thanks!
Thank you so much for this bruv!
Elishu'a Yosef seriously, like what song is this?😭
This was awesome! could you possibly do a full body stretch for people who are active or do a lot of sport. Something that can be dine consistently sat least three times a week!
I think it's simple and awesome, please keep breaking them up in group muscles to keep them short but effective. Specially for busy schedules 😊
Big help! Upper body is always tight for me. LOVE your stretches because you hold the position for 1-2 minutes. Do you have any back routines? Cheers!
Fabulous stretches!!! Thank you so much!!!
Thank you! Love the Zoom ins!
Love these kind of videos!
I really like your stretching routines!
Awesome stuff ive been following your lower body mobility vid every day for the last week. I feel great! Now I'll add this one in and continue on. Thanks!!!
Really felt it. What are the best exercises to do to lose fat but build muscle?
This was very helpful, John thank you!
So useful! Thank You!
Awesome video. This is not a popular topic (yet) but I love this for more advanced calisthenics exercises.
Alexander A we have a fun handstand challenge coming tomorrow
TheLeanMachines awesome would love to join. What's the game plan?
John on all fours is my favorite! Probably explains why I love all his yoga/stretching videos. Please make this a series... John Does Yoga! His voice is so calming too.
I just went through this while watching! I feel better already! THANKS!!!
Will this fix elbow and wrist pain?
Enjoyed it thanks mate
Great video :), any advice on calf stretches? particularly regarding prevention of shin splints?

Good tip about taking deep breaths so you can get deeper into the stretch.
It makes a big difference right

Hi guys. I have mild hyper mobility syndrome and don't feel the stretch is it still worth me doing?
flexibility is the max length of stretch, mobility is how far your brain thinks it can stretch, so even if you feel nothing, this can still be good after a workout

Any videos for lower back strengthening? Mine seems to be tight all the time.
This is great
Can you recommend some stretches for a stiff neck
Thanks.
Been waiting for this!
love this dude!!
Thank you!
So, so helpful! Thank you!!!
Do you have anything suitable for neck/shoulders
Can you do this flexibility/mobility stretches after training but at home? Like 1-2 hours before going to sleep?
Thank you, very informative and helpful :)
Would you do this before or after a workout? Really appreciate the content guys!
I know Im 3 years late, but do it after a workout. Pre workout u should be doing upper body stretches that are in some type of movement
Is it AS effektiv If i Put my Hand a Bit under the shoulder at the Bizeps Stretch because it is much easier to hold
What movements would you recommend to fix shoulder clicking/pain when doing military press or shoulder raises?
Try and release off your anterior(chest and anterior delts) then look at your humeral-scapular rhythm, Scapular position when doing it and see if you've any winging etc.
I find a lot of the time i get the clicking and pain when Im tight at the front and dont really focus on my Scapula movement ( I find retracting them to be beneficial when shoulder pressing )
GREAT STREATCH
THANKS ;)
4:42 WOOOHHH I wasn't ready for that
Thak u.
What is the titel and artist of the music in the background?
Could you Please do a video on exercises that stretch the cramp neck
Can you do the splits John? I'd love to see a tutorial on achieve the splits.
I will! Thanks for the tip.
so would John
I hope that you realize how effective are your mobility videos.
I’ve got atp and my shoulders are rolled forward. Cant squat with my heels on the floor or sit 90 degrees in an L shape. Will this and the lower body vid help? Really wanna touch my toes eventually.
Does anyone know the name of the song that plays during the chest stretch?
Can you do more stretching videos, please?
love it
What should I do if I’m finding that the first two stretches (the lat stretches) are really hurting my shoulders
Thx 👌
This is amazing. May I ask of the song at, "8:01"?
Call It A Day - Tommy Ljungberg
Does anyone know the song's name on this video?
Romachinewod... like it
the movement at the end is a yoga move, it's called the cow and the cat pose
Love this. My only complaint is that dark clothes, dark mat and dark floor make it difficult to see the finer detail when you're laying on a mat a few feet away. I keep having to stop and get up to look at the placement of feet, etc
Lukaaa Doncicccc
Omg! He finally cut his hair! Good still exists in this world!
Yep it’s all gone! 👍🏻
Old video, I know, but still quick tip: The black clothes on dark mat and black floor are sometimes hard to see and thus makes it harder to follow along. Otherwise, great explanation!
