Ultimate Daily Stretching Routine for Flexibility and Relaxation
Вставка
- Опубліковано 19 вер 2024
- The best time for me to get more flexible is right before bed. Not only are my muscles most supple at this moment, at the end of the day, right after a shower, but stretching REALLY relaxes me and prepares me for a deep sleep. So, if you're looking to increase your overall body flexibility, do this video every night before bed and you'll see a difference in your range of motion in as fast as a week! But you MUST keep it up. Like anything else, flexibility takes work and it takes time. There is no shortcut. Have fun! You can do these stretches right on your bed!

I have been doing this video for four years and for the first time ever I was able to extend my legs fully on the happy baby. I'm feeling so accomplished right now and I just had to share. If you're feeling like you're totally not flexible at all, stick with it! You will see the results eventually!!
After 1 week of streching I can finally reach my toes 🎉🎉🎉
Congrats! That is a big accomplishment!
Thank you ^^

Dani Bo congrats
Hip hip wowowo
This video changed my life! I memorized the routine and do it every night before I sleep and now I'm never stiff or sore in the morning (except after a super intense workout then I'm still a bit sore)
WOW! So cool!

youll be stiff and sore in the morning after me ;)
Danger Noodle "Stiff" and "sore" are not usually words I use to describe disappointment... 😞
aw heck you gotme
Could you use softer more relaxing music for the next one?? 😊
This has been a go to video for me for post workout stretches for several years now! Thank you Casey!!!
the upbeat music is so misplaced
Kx yep but I mean the stretch was good
Yeah I had to put the video on mute hahaha
Literally! It’s a sleep video not a workout
I literally woke up this morning going "i really hope i can find a good video for night time stretches, but in bed" and BAM Cassey answered my prayers😂
Alyssa Lyn lol just in time!
Alyssa Lyn all the comments are just people praising Cassey's amazing timing lol
Ikr sameee i just find that stretching on bed is better then floor
*_*Middle of the night*_*
*_*Family hearing screams of agony from the bedroom*_*
*_*Rush open the door and see this*_*
Can Relate😂😂😂
Yep
😂😂😂 yap
😂😂😂😂😂
Imagine if they open the door and you’re like this 11:33
I like the video and tried this but found it hard to relax because I felt that the music was to lively and should be more calming X
Freya Hawker agree
I totally agree. Looks like a good video but the music is the opposite of relaxing and unfortunately makes this video unwatchable for me. Do you have an edit without the music?
Absolutely agree! I love her and this video would be so useful, but I had to stop it and couldn't finish it because of the music :/
Freya Hawker mute itv
@@moonlightvibes767 But then you couldn't hear her talking lol.
*Wakes up early in the morning and checks the calendar:*
"Ultimate daily stretching routine"
*Gets ready to do it*
Cassey: _"it's best to stretch during the night before bedtime"_
*Well ok*
LOL
It’s also good as a cooldown after workout 🏋🏻♀️ 💕
Boone said you shouldn’t do it in daytime though hihi 😉
As someone who has serious anxiety surrounding exercise along with some chronic pain. This video is slowly changing my life. Thank you for the gentle encouragement.
One thing to know. I know this video was made a long time ago but whatever💁🏼♀️😂. I have been doing ballet for 7 years and we do these stretches, but when you do the straddle make sure your knees are facing backwards(or just try to not make them facing up or forward). When you flex and pointe your feet try to roll through the balls of your feet and that will strengthen your feet and hopefully get you better a pointe. If you read all this 👏🏼 but ya love your videos
Do I have to keep my knees outwards when I am reaching forward?
Amen!
Antra Toporkova when you do an open (middle) split and reach forward you want to try and keep your legs turned out so yes I think keep them as far back without hurting yourself, and make sure to take time 😇😇
Antra Toporkova also you want to turn out your feet and make your pinky toes closer to the ground.
Kyra Williamson yeah 😂 turn out your feet. But some people can’t really put their toes on the ground like that
how does one watch this while doing it omg had my phone everywhere
JEON JUNGKOOK
moonvelvet I have wireless headphones lol
Haha same
I put my laptop on my desk. I feel your pain though, I do some of her other stretching videos at the gym and get all tangled up in my own headphones
I hook it up to the tv
Hello cassey, first off I want to say your workouts are amazing and being in the military we have to stay in good shape. Your workouts are great to do when I have down time and they have helped me out with cutting and my flexibility. My wife is the one who introduced me to your channel and your leg days are killer. Thank you so very much for everything you do and happy Veterans Day everyone to those past, present, and to the ones who have paid the ultimate sacrifice. Thank you for you hard work and dedication. Ooh ya!!!!!

i just start stretching regular last month, and it makes me happy! i´m so stressed out lately, i´m just too tired to work out when i´m back home after school. i always stretch watching my favorits tv shows and in the end it´s a 80min stretching routine! but it feels so good! it makes me calm down a bit.
I´m so close to my splits! i want to be able to do a scorpion til christmas!
neko2412neko Same here with the stretching. Take your time and push slightly past your comfort zone. Be determined and u will reach your goal. I believe in you😊
neko2412neko Same I started a few weeks ago and it's really helped with anxiety at school
neko2412neko how are you doing now ?
neko2412neko v
Oh geez, I never thought of stretching while watching an episode of a show. 🤦♀️
June 4th 2021. The most relaxing workout by far from June 😂😂😂😂
👌
I loved this video I would have just like more relaxing music like a "wind down" video
her bed is bigger than the space i have to exercise in >.>"
Go outside in the garden or at a local park :)
Same 😭
@@suschilegge1683 you mean he gonna sleep in the garden?
@@infeksiketawa sounds comfortable and you get to look at the stars (if visible) while you're falling asleep
There was a time where all I had was my single bed to stretch on, which when you're 170cm that is 1 metre of legs alone, sounds impossible, but i like to say if I can fit my looooooong self on a single bed and stretch, then anyone (my height or under) can! Just do it length ways rather than width ways. :)
Please make a morning stretching routine! ^.^
yas
Rosalie Hale She does have one.
she has one
why would she if you cant even do afternoon one?
This is such a wonderful routine! I've been doing it everyday without fail for a month and I've gone from zero flexibility to a happy medium. Doing this helps me get to sleep faster and I wake up with extra pep in my step and no sore muscles from any exercise I might have done the day before.
I just done this and it was so relaxing, being a dancer it's always good to stretch the muscles out and doing this before bed makes it even better. Sort of like a relaxing extra stretch at night and the good thing was there wasn't much moving around
Yes!
blogilates This came at the perfect time. Thanks!
i love this! i do this every night. it is indeed very relaxing
Ahh, love that!! Keep it up!
blogilates omg i didn't think you'd reply :( you're my favorite workout instructor here on youtube!
thatweirdgirleverywhere you have to keep going now she's replied lol
thatweirdgirleverywhere f
wow ... this streching made me realize that I am way off .. I need to work on it everyday. thanks casey.
Guys, I just did this and I was HATING it while doing it but 5 min later, my legs feel AWESOME.
Update:
Day#1:
Found out I am not as flexible as I thought I was
Day#2:
Better extension at happy baby
Day#3:
A little better
Day#4:
Could actually grab my toes(instead of balls of my feet) and feel the "calf stretch mania"😂
Day #5:
Found a technique called "nerve glide" on channel 'Livinleggins', video title "Ignoring this will WRECK your flexibility". Tried it. It worked but not to the extent shown in her video.
-At hamstring stretch I could grab my ankles
- At hip flexor stretch I could push down my knee so that it touched the foot below it
-Could bring my leg closer to the body instead of just straight
Day#6:
-At hip flexor stretch, I could bend forward a little bit
-Could bring my leg even closer than day 5
I hope everyone takes inspiration from this to keep trying. You will get better with consistency...
Haha, I feel you. Been doing this stretching routine every night for a few days now, and i can already see myself getting more flexible. Super excited to actually make progress!!
@@inchworm_ Yeah, me too.
I was thinking of trying this.... Then I looked and realized I had 5 cats sprawled out on my bed lol
this is the only excuse that i find valid
Rebecca Evans ew
Rebecca Evans omg 😂😂😂goals
IISweetzII absolutely nothing ❤️ they are all rescues and deserve love
***** it's nasty
Why on earth did I think this was gonna be relaxing? I'm about as flexible as a stick and this hurt like hell.. But now I'm dedicated to becoming more flexible, so thank youu!❤
Elina Arvidsson so stretching shouldn't be painful - that means you're hurting yourself. it should feel like stretching, which is to say relieving. that doesn't mean you can't get flexible tho! you just need to make sure you don't try to do too much at once
Wow your bedroom looks gorgeous!!! Also this is a great vid
THANK YOU!! It relaxes me just being there.
I SEE YOUR PROFILE PIC, I LOVE YOU ARMY!
LOVE this 💖
Isabela Mariano thank you!
Erica Lin love you gurl
One of my favorite youtubers 😘
Hi Erica love u,!!!
Your room is sooo pretty !! 😍
I know, right?!?!
sooooo is my weiner
4 years later, but, I'm obsessed with this stretching video. I have tried others but this is my fave routine and soooo relaxing!!
I'm soooo down to see morning stretches too😊
I did a very painful workout today and my legs are sore, i found this vid today before i go to sleep and tried it. It magically made the pain on my legs go away. Its now more relaxed. Thank you so much for this stretch. My legs and i are happy 💜
This was actually the perfect video for the perfect timing. I had a rough day,and was feeling down but instead of crying I did this video and now I feel like I can make tomorrow a better day. Thank you for creating a peaceful community 💖💕
I'm weird - the only thing that is easy for me is the one thing Cassey have "trouble" with.
(7:49)
Hahahaha same for me. Coz I sit like this everyday when I eat food
Same, I even thought that I did it wrong
Same. Some people are born with flexible hip flexers
same lmao i was waiting for the hard painful part and it didnt come lol i sit like this 24/7 but now i have knee problems bc of it i think so not saying its a good idea lol i just find it so comfortable for some reason haha i often wonder if this would make birthing children slightly less painful for me, but i guess we'll never know lol
I'm still wondering whether we did it right or not :) cause Cassey mentioned about shouldn't sit like "Indian style"
Great video! One thing I wish was there was back stretches. Could you do a video on that?
I’m going to do this routine first thing in the morning, before I get out of bed. The softly upbeat music and positive energy will make waking up a joy for me. Thank you!🧘🏻♀️🌄
I was about to go to bed but now I'm watching your video and I'm trying out your stretching routine :D
I can't thank you enough for this wonderful video ❤️️❤️️
And just to give something back, I want to share with you a very relaxing cool new song that I'm in love with, it's called:
Benedict Ammann - The Rules
I hope you'll love it as much as I do ! Love from Italy, Elena
Me too! (:
And thanks for this wonderful song, I looove it (:
Elena Suarez ciao! Anche io sono italiana! Sono felice di sapere che da qualche parte anche qui,qualcuno oltre a me,segue questa magnifica persona!
Elena Suarez hey my name is Elena too lol
Thank you for helping me discover that song!
Elena Suarez I
Loved this one!!!
Love you Cassey getting stronger by the day
Aneesah Fazal so am I thanx to Cassey
More stretching for flexibility videos, please! :D
I love your bedroom Cassey! So pretty and relaxing :]
THANKS!!!! I saved up for some Anthropologie bedding and it was the best decision ever!!!
new years resolution: get more flexible *clicks on this video* this seems cool *after first leg stretch* crap this hurts, I really need to work on this more
Alexis Beard
hiya fam!
AYYY BTS
This is like the lazy girl guide to stretching. Love it!
Am I the only one who just couldn't do most of these? My muscles are so tight that just spreading my legs to the side is hard and just sitting tall with my legs extended feels hard. My shoulders are pretty flexible but my legs are horrible. I don't want to hurt my back because some of these stretches hit my lower back.
Same! My legs aren't very flexible at all, but I hope to get better!
It's like riding a bike for the first time. At 30. And most of who u knows.. can ride so easy . And after so long u wanna feel what's it's like to ride to. And it's pretty damn hard.
Same boat sis.. lets keep the faith..if we cant.. we do a simple reorganization of commitments. Then get humbled..we can feel what's it's like to ride to.
Everyone, it used to be same with my body, but within the last 3/4 year I've been going on and off with stretching. I'm way more flexible now and gonna have my first ballet class in two weeks. Don't give up, the work really pays off!
I agree, how bad is it, not releasing of the muscle, just tensing them
Omg I needed this video so much!!! I was literally going to start to stretch every morning and night starting today!! Now I have a night stretching video!! Do you think you can do a morning stretching video?? Please and thank you!!😊😊😊😊😊😊💖💖💖
Lordkiki1819 there's one called 'wake up with me workout' from her. and even if you don't like that one from cassey the other stretch videos from her are just as amazing as this one :)
I can't even touch my toes, my legs aren't flexible at all 😂 but my hip flexor is really flexible, and my arms and back too. I'm doing this every night from now on 💪🏽
I am the same way!
Perfect timing! I dance as a hobby, but I have not been stretching as often as I use to and I'd like to start again. This is a great place to start! I always love your positive energy. ❤️
Tara Dickinson how long have u danced? sorry I'm rlly interested in dancing, I could never do it, I'm 14 and not flexible at all. but still I like hearing about ppls hobbies
Loveaboss Aj I have only been dancing for about 4 years, and I started when I was 12. I don't dance competitively, but it's something that I love! I wasn't flexible at all when I started, but it's never to late to start if you're interested! I have heard of dancers starting late who are still able to work hard and become very successful, or you can just pick it up as a fun hobby like me. :)
Loveaboss Aj So I would recommend that you go for it if it's something you'd like to try! I used blogilates videos to start stretching, and it took a lot longer than some people but my flexibility did improve with time and practice.
Tara Dickinson thanks! I don't think dancing is for me but I kind of want to do karate. ( and when I mean I'm not flexible I mean I can't touch my toes.. it's bad..😂)
Loveaboss Aj I couldn't touch my toes either 😂 Martial arts is great too! My sister really enjoys it.
Hey Cassey ! I don't know if you'll ever read this, but I just thought I'd take a few minutes to tell you this : THANK YOU. Thank you for being there, for doing these videos, thank you for sharing your opinions no matter what, thank you for supporting us, thank you for working hard. Thank you for trying and not giving up, thank you for believing. Thank you thank you a hundred times. You're a wonderful person. Every single one of your videos make me feel good about myself, and I thank you deeply for that
I didn't realize how much flexibility I've lost until I did this routine! Also I'm always struggling with lower back tension trying to fall asleep but stretching out my hamstrings worked like magic. Thanks for this video!
This is an epic stretch routine
Perfect! Becoming more flexible was on my To-Do List. I can't wait to do this tonight!
Such a positive and helpful video! I am a dancer myself and unfortunately not that flexible, so this is honestly perfect. Thank you Cassey for the great energy and content you put for us out there💕 you inspire me to keep going with my channel
Watching this is surprisingly soothing for me for some reason.
This was very relaxing and so nice after a long day of working my body
You always look so amazing Cass!!!
Doing this during a controlled movement order due to Covid-19. Thank you 💜
YOUR BEDROOM IS GOALS!
Day 13 of the beginner's calendar is complete!
Trying to tone up!! 1 like = 1 blogilates workout vid done 🙃
No

Şiir Şengül ;) Ik we are everywhere
RIP
356...lol
this was not very relaxing because it turns out i'm not as flexible as i thought i was.
chillitz Then only go as far as you can and just a little bit more. Each time you'll go further and further.
hey Cassey! I just wanted to say thanks, U motivated me to start my fitness journey. I went from being able to run 1 mile and struggling intensely , I ended my 1 mile run with a light head and Struggling to catch my breath, now I'm able to run 2.5 miles without a dizzy head and without a tremendous loss of breath ( I started about 2 months ago. and I run about 3-4 time a week ) thanks for the motivation Cassey! ur amazing 😘
Thank you so much, this was amazing, you’re an awesome teacher too 🥰
hey Cassey, I think if you leave your hair in kinda naturally messy [or just natural, normal] style would be fabulous also fit well with the video's meaning. Also, the music should be more calm, relax to amplify effectiveness of this video.
If you would read this, I just want you to know that this is my personal opinion about this video, hope you read this & take into consideration for future videos :)
I'm in covid-quarantine and homeschooling two kids while wrangling a bored third one, and I really need something to relax mind and body in the evening! My wish came true, and of course it is fairy godmother Cassie who delivers the perfect night time stretch! ❤
I like this for the stretching, however, I would very much suggest calmer, more relaxing music. Once I learn this routine, I'll be turning off the sound as it is energizing, not relaxing.
Ive geen doing this for about a week now, and my left leg is already way more flexible. I'm going to put more effort into my right because it's still tight. Thanks for the video!! Update: I can now "give myself a hug" without out pain.☺
omg, thank you! this helps me sleep whenever I feel like I can't and nothing else worked. Thanks so much Cassie!
i did this two weeks ago as part of the beginners calendar but didnt do it on the bed.... and i came back to it today to try this stretch on the bed and OMG it made the difference. Also probably more flexible at this point but GUYS DO THIS ON YOUR BED IF YOU CAN. It feels 100x better.
YESSSS I've been needing this video! Thanks!
So welcome!
I'm new to this channel, today was my first day doing this. I usually don't stretch at all and my back is always so stiff every morning. After doing this and even during the routine I felt so relaxed and stretched out, I really hope after keeping this up that I don't have that stiffness in the mornings. I love this routine by the way.
Hi Cassey! Could you please do an energizing morning workout of maybe 20-30 minutes long?
I still think that this is the best of all the stretching videos she made!
Love this video!!!!!😘😘
I've been doing this almost every night for two months and I can see such a big improvement in my flexibility. Given that I am very very unflexible I am amazed! Thank you Cassey, this is such a lovely routine to do in the evening ❤️️
Hey Cassey can you do a similar video like this but for the morning?
Already exists... it is called wake up with me.
Preeti Thakkar are you Gujarati??
She makes my day so much, I love watching her videos..inspires me so much!!
So very much needed 🙏 thank you ❤️
You are very welcome!
I love u cassey! Thank you so much for all these amazing workouts. One of the split stretches made me able to do the splits!!😄
I do these stretches every morning because I don't have time at night but as long as I get it in 👍🏻👌🏻
Love this in combination with the Wake Up stretch video!
early squad! This is such a great video, good job Cassey!
THANKS Jackie!
The way you say you feel good. even though i feel pain you help me feel good.
Hey would you consider making this video again but with calm music so it’ll fit the setting a bit better?🤷🏼♀️😁
You make me so happy.
omg i love your room!!!!!!
I love this one!
my 18th birthday today! Blessed to see another year🤍 16/10/20🪐🍾🥳
Happy birthday !! Now you are an adult, have a very good start !!🎁🎂🎊🎉

💕🌹
Happy late birthday!!! 🎉🎂🎉
Hope you had a great day!
@@theoubrelifechronicles8850 thank you so much🤍🤍
THIS IS AMAZING, it helped so much, I'm still not like rlly flexible or anything, but I have improved a lot, thanks so much for this video!
So good! Thank you Cassey.
Okay, but your bed is beautiful.
I love this evening stretch but always find the music a little jarring in comparison to the night-time stretch before bed mood. Regardless, I really enjoy it and will keep coming back. Thanks for all your help!
I totally agree! That was always the bummer for me, it never got me in a bedtime mood. But a great one for that ambiance is the Total Body Stretch (At Home Exercise Routine)! Only downside there is that it might be hard to do on a bed! I would definitely give it a try though, one of my faves :)
If I’m supposed to be relaxing in bed, why is there freaking intense dance music playing?
Hi, Cassie I just thought I’d just say that last October I fell off my horse and injured the deep muscles in my lower back, and a year later I’m still not fully healed but doing this video and your newest morning stretch videos consistently has significantly improved my flexibility and maintained the stiffness and pain I get if I don’t move too much... I wouldn’t be surprised if I added 5 million views onto it myself 😂
Ive been wanting to know this omg!! Thanks so much!!
I just tried it today and know im going to use it again.
I want a bed that size.
this is one of my dream bed room .. looks so gorgeous , luxury .. and comfy too
2020 GANG WHERE U AT!!
This is my third night doing this sequence and I’m already starting to see a little bit of a difference. Thank you for this, I’ve really needed it
Oh my gosh, just did these stretches after a marching band show...I'm more flexible than I thought I was (which I'm still not flexible to fully do these stretches like her 😂), and I feel soooooo good! 😁
It feels so great in the morning！
Omg, I needed this sooo bad! After middle split week, I'm going to start doing this. :-)
