- Опубліковано 22 тра 2020
- Anyone else wake up and feel stiff and sore as heck? Worse still, you haven't even worked out? Yup, me too. That's why I like to do these stretches before I hobble out of bed to the loo. You can do these simple, beginner stretches from the comfort of your own bed if you like.
They are all modified/fat friendly tested/plus size positive stretches that will help you feel so much better about starting your day on the right foot. Let's get rid of all the aches and pains by doing a short 10 minute full body stretch. Trust me, you'll feel so much better.
They aren't just stretches for the morning, you can do them anytime of day, or even before working out to help loosen up tense muscles and relieve any soreness.
If you are interested in working out, but your weight is holding you back, come check out my channel, I have tons of (morbidly) obese beginner workouts that you can try. I make all the routines, so they include modifications where needed and the pace is a lot slower, but that's not to say you won 't get a darn good working out. Join me, in my quest for plus size fitness and a healthier me!

Many thanks for the videos. I was getting fed up seeing exercises for the 'overweight' being demonstrated by superfit skinny people with no understanding of what it's like to be big. Loving it :-)
Thank you ✨🧡
Love your videos Holly.your awesome. Thank you 🌹

Yeah and they say they are easy exercises but they really aren't.
Yes ma'am..so true
Girl, thank you for this video. I was searching through the morning stretch videos and came across yours. Most of these people do not get that stretching when you are skinny is entirely different than stretching when you are big. Thank you!!
When your squish gets in the way, and your muscles COULD stretch more, but there is no room... That's a thing thin people cannot understand
Thank you! Skinny people have no clue how hard it is for large bodies to move. I can't get up off the floor, or cross my legs. Ugh. It was so encouraging to stretch with you this morning. I'm a new subscriber!
Yesss me too definitely
Yay, I feel like I’ve found my people and by “my people,” I mean you, Holly! Thanks for this channel!
Thank you 🥺🧡
Ditto!
Just did this before leaving a 12 hour overnight shift and I feel great…also can I tell you how nice it is to find a channel that isn’t led by some fitness goddess in her 20s wearing shorts intended for an infant, with her butt and hoo-ha hanging out… that’s the last thing I want to see when trying not to fall over😂.. you’ve gained a new subscriber, thank you for this.
Can you please post the link to that video of the 20 year fitness goddess with her butt and hoo-ha hanging out? That's exactly what I've been looking for
@@kvedwards1971 maybe find something else to do with your hand
@@Angel-qf6if🤣😂🤣🤣
@Angel-qf6if btw I was just joking. This really is a good video though
Thanks so much. This is the first exercise stretch video I did in the last 5 years. Was feeling pretty trapped in my body today so decided to wake up and stretch. Thank you so much. Starting my journey at 360lbs
hey! hope it’s going well! i’m so proud of you
Loving your videos, has motivated me to do something everyday, either in my bed or standing
I just love when she smiles throughout the video. It seems so genuine. Looks like she's smiling through the camera and right at me.
Hello dear
I thought the same thing. I didn't wanna comment afraid I'd sound creepy. But her smile was awesome at the right time.
I'm glad I'm not the only one lol sometimes I even carry on a conversation with her🤫
OMG FINALLY. I was so sick of following yoga tutorials from stick thin Instagram models, seriously made me feel inferiors and shamed. But seeing you, as you are, makes me feel like I can get back into yoga and feel good about my body.
Was it necessary to say stick thin?

Fat.
All I wanted was a short simple stretch video that was realistic for me. This was that video. I’ll look up stretches for beginners and they’re doing crazy stuff. THANK YOU
This video is so great! I started exercising again and it left me feeling defeated and deflated. I did not want to get up and do it. I would become overwhelmed by how unfit I have become and was afraid that I would exhaust myself before work (so would have trouble balancing my mental health/anxiety). I did the stretching exercise where you pull your leg up behind you, well I tried, it wasn't easy and I was crushed. How far have I fallen that I cannot do a basic stretch that I started doing as a 10 year old netballer! I googled 'beginner stretching for overweight women' and that is where I found you. This morning has been a completely different experience for me and I feel so calmly happy. In some areas I could extend an exercise, or not have to go with the easier option and in others I was no where near as bendy as you. However there was just enough of the two that I feel confident AND pushed. My body feels nicely exerted and I feel happier. This is something I am going to WANT to get up for. Thank you Holly
Don’t worry about it just keep trying an effort by gym and half diet that’s good for you😃😅😌👍🏻👌🏻👊🏻💪🏻
Yup! I hear you! I'd rather see someone my size to work with.if we both can do it.ill be happy!!
I have to much pain in lumbar to move around..
Yup. Agree totally
Im a personal trainer and I find this so helpful for my larger clients! Thankyou so much! Keep up the good work
Thank you so much. It’s refreshing to do a stretching video with someone who’s body looks like mine and understands that certain positions or poses may not be as easy for some people. Stretching videos have been very triggering for me and this left me feeling motivated to keep doing this for myself ❤️
Yessss I definitely agree I also almost quit before I found this video and now I'm not going to quit this is my motivation here.
Oh my gosh. As a bigger girl I find it can be difficult to even stretch. This morning was my first 9-minute video, and I loved it. Thank you for sharing. I'm looking forward to experiencing more of your videos and workouts as I start taking more care of myself.
Well done Erica 👍🧡
Did your morning stretch video so far. Made me feel so much better physically and mentally. I have found my workout partner and her name is Holly. 😊. I am now committed to this journey. Thanks for taking us along with you. I appreciate you so much.
Holly, I just stumbled upon your UA-cam a day ago, and I wanted to tell you that your videos, mission, approach, and attitude are a great boon and breath of sunshine in these times... CHEERS and GOOD ON YOU, MA'AM!
Thanks, Black Romulan. I appreciate the positive comments ✨😊
@@HollyHonjo no problem; best wishes on your fitness journey!
Thank you so much! Yes, this is where I need to start. Honestly I was feeling pretty bad about myself when other "beginner" flexibility videos were too advanced for me. This I can do. Grateful for you.
Just found your channel and honestly love it. It's so hard to find low impact workout for bigger bodies so Thank You
You're welcome 😊✨
Thank you so much. Finally a person that understands a bigger body. I was feeling stiff and in pain. Being very morbidly obese through illness I find it so hard to do other fitness vids even for the elderly. You helped massively. I will be sharing your page. Blessings. ❤😊
Omg thank you for having this channel!! I searched for a stretching video, and there was only a sea of super skinny white girls. Like no thank you, it took me a good while to find at least someone plus size. I want to see myself doing exercises showing me it’s possible and moving your body doesn’t have to look size 0 and glam ready. Love more diversity in the health and fitness section!!!
Thank you, Holly! Am feeling much less stiff after this! You're a blessing to us with these videos!
This was a great beginning stretch workout for me since I’ve been so sedentary from working from home!
Same here! Going on 4 years and have gained so much weight
I'm sick and tired of being in pain as soon as I wake up. I'm almost 300 lbs and I've finally decided to start a weight loss journey. They're simple stretches and I know I can do it. My back and legs still hurt a little but I'm hoping that'll go away if/when I start to lose weight. Thank you for sharing this.
I've recently put back on a decent chunk of weight during lockdown and the biggest issue with exercise atm is the aches and pains in muscles. All stretching videos tend to be for people who are frankly more flexible and have physically smaller bodies. This was perfect for me, keep up the good work.
I love your channel. I’ve been doing these stretches everyday and honestly I feel so much better. Thank you!
Thank you ! Got up this morning and did this routine and it was a fantastic way to start my day !
I loveee that I don’t need to get on the floor. Definitely doing these at the gym before workout!!
Omg you are amazing. You are so real! I'm so tired of seeing thin fit people showing yoga for the plus size, that's really unmotivating. Keep it up and thank you!
THANK YOU! I do these with you every morning before my workouts. And I can ACTUALLY do them!
Thank you. This is 100% what I've been looking for and not finding. So many people posting are in perfect shape and their idea of 'low impact' or 'beginner' isn't even close to what I need to get started. This is awesome, thank you so much!
Many Thanks and may God bless you for being authentically real in presenting realistic information. ❤️🙏🏽
I found this last year when I broke my ankle. I've since healed but my anxiety hit the lowest point (by being extremely high) this past week. I've done this a couple of times in the morning and I almost always feel better. Thanks Holly! I love your channel and what you're doing for all us plus-size bodies!
I just found your channel I’m a big girl and always wanted to do yoga but felt judged until I found your channel thank you for sharing ❤️
No judgement here 🤗 I'm glad you found me
Hello Alicia
another great start to my day! I watch every morning to get myself warmed up and motivated for the day. Thank you for this great video!
I use your morning stretch routine everyday I love it it's like a alarm to wake up my body
Thank you so much for this video. I’m 3x and recovering from a torn meniscus and this was so gentle but still impactful. Saving this video to do every day ❤️
Thanks for helping us bigger folks out. Exercising feels so good.
Holly thank you so so much for this. I do this every day and I have felt much better since I've started. I'm so unfit I do break a sweat while doing these but god it makes me feel amazing after!!
That's fabulous Luri. I'm glad you find value in them. Thank you.
I have fibromyalgia and this is such a a gentle yet effective stretch routine. It helps get my body loosened up and helps chase a bit of the fibro dog away. Thank you!
I have been searching for a morning stretch routine like this forever. I have a bad knee so I can't do all these fancy stretches most of these videos have. This one is perfect.. Thank you.
Hello Holly! I just found this stretching video this morning and am so happy to see you have a whole channel on plus size fitness. I have been over weight since shortly after my first born. I've tried gyms and following routines, even paid classes! They are uncomfortable and unrealistic for big bodies trying to loose 100+ lbs.
I am going to credit the Devine for leading me to your channel today. I look forward to watching more of your videos and thank you for being brave enough to fill this void of plus sized fitness journeys.
❤
This was so relaxing! I didnt think I'd feel any difference because it was only 10 minutes, but I for sure feel less stiff, especially in my shoulders
I can't thank you enough for this. Seeing someone closer to my size was incredibly comforting to start out this scary new thing in my life. At one point you smiled during one of the stretches and I got so emotional I cried?? Thank you for the help
This is exactly what I needed! Thank you!
Thanks for making these videos, I’m looking forward to checking them all out. It’s wonderful to see someone who looks similar to me doing exercises that aren’t super complicated, it makes it feel much more attainable.
Thanks for the video! I love your calm energy.
Great correction on the side lean too - I was definitely doing it wrong and felt an immediate change when I corrected.
I loved this. Feels so good in the mornings
Fantastic thank you! I used this as an end of day stretch after sitting at a desk all day.
Thank you so much Holly! You're great!
This is the first stretch tape I tried and I really like it for myself and my daughter who is disabled. I have imitations myself due to my weight and a very bad back. So the first time doing this feels exactly what we were looking for. Thank you Holly and I hope to stay with this every day and work myself up to some of your longer videos.
This is exactly what I need to add to my morning routine! Thanks!
I do this every morning after i wake up and every night before i go to bed, it has really helped me to not feel stiff and anxious as exam season is approaching (while being gentle on my body). Thank you!
Thank you- love this!!
Thank you! That was perfect!!
Thanks for the stretching tips.
I've been doing these stretches for almost 2 weeks and I feel such a difference. Thanks again for your help and I did subscribe.
Thank u and good morning for this amazing exercise video!
That was awesome! Thanks!
Thank you, just what I needed!
I love this video. Thanks for this! I feel so much better when I get up in the mornings now. It's become my routine.
Great video! Thank you!
This was perfect!! Thanks so much!!
I went through 10 stretching videos and then found yours and I did the whole video with you. Amazing. Love it so much 🥰🥰🤍🤍🤍
Thank you so much! This is greatly helpful!
Awesome stretching! I felt like I could do all of them without being in pain. Ty!!
I absolutely love this routine! I’ve been using it for the past couple years and recently started back more frequently. It makes such a difference in the morning, not just body but mind. And I love seeing the changes with my mobility as well. Thank you so much!
Thank you and I really appreciate this video
Thank you for this video.. I watch this video almost every morning
You're awesome Ms. Holly. Teach me, lady!! Thank you!! Bless you!!
Thank you so much for this. I used to think videos like this were for the weak, little did I know that it is the complete opposite. I never saw myself getting to where I am now. with your channel I am able to feel normal again. feel strong again! Thank you for the strength to keep going.
Thanks Holly for being you along with the super positive energy. Guiding light.
So happy it helped
Thank you Holly, Definitely felt some release in tight areas of back and legs I appreciate it

Thank you so much for making these videos! I love your calm voice and simple instructions as well as the fact that my larger body being able to handle the moves too. The fun artwork on your walls is a nice bonus too! Blessings to you and yours!
Loved the video much needed before my work shift thanks 😊
You are helping me so much. Thank you.
I'm actually feeling a good bit better this morning after doing this. Def able to move a lot better after being sore and achey almost constantly recently. Thank you!
Perfect for me anytime of the day 🙂Thank you!
This was such a helpful video. Thank you!
Thank you so much for making this video! I’ve been mostly bed bound for a year and a half due to an injury. I’m trying to get up and get going to get this weight off that I’ve gained. This video is perfect for beginners with a lot of weight to lose. I’ve added it to my morning routine and just completed it for the first time. I was able to do it all with no break! Thanks again!
Thank you thank you thank you. So glad i find this video.
THANK YOU!!! I've been looking for good stretching videos for me to do in the morning before work! It's very labor-intensive on my legs and back. So this was very much appreciated!!❤❤❤
Thank you Holly!
I just found your channel and am loving it!
Thanks Holly. A nice start to my day, doing a craft fair xx
love your channel. giving me inspiration. the very reason you started your channel is why I love it. I use your videos and others daily and happy to say at the very least a jacket fit on my arms better yesterday. Def a win. Thank you for putting yourself out there

Just did this workout this afternoon in my living room. I did some modifications but felt great after. Thanks so much!

Really feels great on my joints to stretch in the morning b4 getting ready for work . Thank you , for pitting this out here , so refreshing to see someone that I can relate to❤
great video! thank you
Loved this, thank you so much!
Thank you! Finally, I found realistic content for a larger person. Most exercise videos show stuff that is impossible for me to even attempt, much less do. ❤
Thanks enjoyed that will be doing every day.
Great video thank you
Awesome video. I was in a funk did a quick search and did this video! Thank you!!!
I really like this. I feel like I actually stretched, but I'm not exhausted like I just worked out. The perfect morning stretch. :D
Thank you Holly! Needed a quick gentle somethingorother to try to get rid of some mid-morning sleepiness, and this hit the spot perfectly.
Glad it was helpful!
Loved it! Didn't know I needed to do the stretch until this. Many thanks to you. Now to that much anticipated walk.
Love this thanks!
This is exactly what I was searching for ty.
