I have followed your routines now for over (roughly) 3 months. I stared with your full body routine, but quickly realized I needed to focus on two areas specifically. So I am now doing the shoulder and hamstring routine. Here are the three things that happened: - In these three months I didn't see my family - the first time, I met them again, they all asked be if I somehow got taller. - I used to get dizzy when I got up too fast. This doesn't happen anymore. - I am able to touch the floor with my fingertips (only just - but I was never able to do that Sounds bonkers - but it is true. Thank you very much Tom! All the best, from Germany.
Thank you so much❤ I just randomly searched for posture correction video, I just never knew the dizziness I got from suddenly standing up was due to this!! For 3 months did u follow only this exercise?
@@aditi1101 Yes, only this. I can add, that I have the chance to train with a personal trainer now, and we are again focusing on these areas. The impact is huge.
Your channel is awesome, man! You're so specific about every single thing in your videos. I'm sure you're helping thousands of people fix their body postures.
@@BodyweightWarrior We all had tightness in our rotator cuff causing clicks and pops of the shoulder joint. That was my case.... But after performing these stretches, I build mobility & flexibility in my shoulders and now I am back to full strength. You can find these stretches in this article : therehabboy.blogspot.com/2021/07/best-rotator-cuff-exercises-7-easy.html
Hi Tom, is your other video and what BDT suggested necessary or helpful? That's my main question.... The reason for asking is because I want tips, a doctor can't seem to help me with. I have developed many bodally hurts for several reasons, I question everything, my age, TBI , A RECENT head on, I also after the accident, as they x-rayed and an MRI diagnosed me with Osteoprosis.
I was literally looking for a posture video all last week. None of them, i really liked. Thanks for the post, this is the one im using. Love how you combine strength with flexibility, its what i was looking for.
This sequence gave me immediate relief after increasing tension in my shoulders and neck the last few weeks which I couldn’t get rid of. Many thanks to you Tom 🙏🙏🙏

I've been strugling with pain in my upper back, mid back and between the shoulde blades for years. Every time I do this routine, it goes away for 3-4 days. I'm so greatful for this. If only I was able to do it everyday - but you know, life gets in the way sometimes. Anyway thank you so much for this, Tom.
i doubt that you're gonna see this, but after watching this video I felt that I have to leave this here. Great content as always and I really really liked the offline PDF as well, I would love to see it in more videos of yours. it's really helpful and time efficient. Thank you !
This follow along are super good as you don't have to think just play and train. Perfect for lunch time. Could you include in the description how many days a week is intended? For example this one seems to intense for an everyday thing. Others seem more like a thing you could do every day. Anyway great work !
Hey Tom love the channel! Been doing your follow along's and noticed a lot of improvements. Is it possible to do a follow along for the knee pain/ flexibility. Keep up the good work and Thank you!
Hey! How often should I do this routine to see improvement and what's most important, not to harm my muscles and schedule the routine smart in the week?
Hi, great stretches! Would it be possible to make a stretch video for triathletes? something to do on the workout-free day? it would be awesome. I always change a bit but I feel like I for instance do well with about one-hour-long stretches, yin yoga like...Namaste´!
Hey man, great videos and content! I follow all your follow alongs and they help me loads. I was wondering if you could sometime cover a little around rotator cuff and specially about Bursa injuries and exercises to help it? thanks a lot and keep up the good work!!
Thanks for the video Tom. Is it normal to have elbow pain in the bridge stretch at 12:00 ? I can tell that my biceps are tight and I need the stretch however, the elbow discomfort makes the hold uncomfortable.
Hi Tom, I have a question about the "swan position". My lower back arches really bad, when I go into thoracic extension. I guess in my case this is due to an anterior pelvic tilt and general hypermobility in my whole body. What would you recommend doing against it? I tried to squeeze my glutes hard and contract my core, but this is quite hard to do in this position. Do you even think it is a Problem? Thanks for all your good videos and have a nice day!
I couldn't do the movement at 11:56, my wrist couldn't fully rotate and they didn't feel strong enough to push me up, would this be due to problems with my wrists?
Hi Tom, another brilliant follow along. Have you any experience and plans for lateral pelvic shift? When I’m standing and relax my pelvis seems to rotate to the right.
Hello Tom, quick question do you think this routine is useful for fixing my problem of not being able to touch my shoulder blade , i can do it with my left hand but my right hand cant and it hurts if i try
25:11 Hi Tom, loving the videos and follow alongs! I’ve got some pain on my shoulder/trap/upper arm area. What would you recommend to try to get that area more flexible?
Great class. I've done this twice this week and will keep it in my regular workouts mixed with my yoga. Hopefully I can start to nip this posture problem in the ass.
during those shoulder extensions, I don't feel any stretch, just a pinch in my ellbows. he said its important to have them straight, but that's just increase the pain. can anyone help?
I think I’m doing the workout wrong. I’ve been getting lower back soreness a couple hours later/ the next day 😭 Is this bad? Does anyone have any tips?
Hey Tom and Bww community! I recently started using training periodisation for my pull work and running and its been working really well however trying to periodise handstands and even flexibility into 6 week blocks in this way has seemed much harder. It seems like I have to listen to my body more which makes it less amenable to this format. Any thoughts on programming flexibility and handstands in this regard will be greatly appreciated!
flexibility is fine to grind away for 6-8 weeks but handstands could do with reviewing every 2-4 weeks. As with most training, long term consistency is key

This will arguably cover both, they’re interlinked (upper cross syndrome)

My neck and shoulder are constantly tight. That routine felt so good
I’m only 15 minutes in but my shoulders and neck feel so FREE. I think I need to do this every other day, omg

I actually missed that you already mentioned squeezing the glutes, sorry. What about the core?
Hey Tom, how often do you recommend we do this routine? Can we do it everyday?
I can't wait to see results from it 😁
As its stretching you can do it everyday if your body needs it
Thanks so much for these awesome routines and the superb free content. Really appreciate your work my man!! 🙇🏻♂️
Hey Tom, could you do a video on stretching equipment? Like your reccomend foam roller, yoga bolster, blocks, lacrosse balls, etc
A bolster and yoga blocks, maybe some weight. You're good to go!
Worked a treat, thanks Tom
Does this help increase shoulder mobility for pushups and dips?
Would you recommend doing this as a cool down after an upper body workout?
My shoulders love you, thank you!
Great and informative video. Thanks Tom!
I couldn't do the movement at 11:56, my wrist couldn't fully rotate and they didn't feel strong enough to push me up, would this be due to problems with my wrists?
Hi Tom , my question is I have one shoulder rounded forward and my other shoulder is on the right place is this the right routine for fixing it ?
This is so awesome. Thank You so much for taking the time to make these and share your knowledge.
