This is one of the very few dudes doing fitness content on youtube who's not full of BS. Respect.

I always get really excited when i see “Flexibility follow along” in the title of Tom Merrick’s videos

Nice and easy to follow along. Suggest maybe a 30 day challenge for beginners. :)

Have been doing your mobility and flexibility routines for about 2 years and man my life has changed! Thank you lots!!! I would love to see a follow along full body warm up.

"Those shorts can't be comfortable" is in my head every time I see them ^^ Cheers for the routine update!

my flight chief (MSgt in the AF) recommended me to you when i told him i was having back problems with work and additionally taking my health and working out seriously. I watch the first beginner flexibility video and i moved to this one and I havent missed a day of my daily stretch routine. thank you so much for providing this content it helps out ppl like me alot.

Loved this. I'm pretty stiff after a workout and this routine had me snap crackle and pop like a bowl of rice krispies. I feel so much looser and better now! Thank you!

Need to get back into shape, this is a great start for me

I'm a runner, and your videos help a ton with pain and tightness from running. Could you please do a video with stretches/exercises for shin splints? That would be much appreciated 💜 keep up the good work!

Excellant stretch and mobility workout Tom , clearer instruction on move changes less focus on screen , thank you

Been doing the full body felixibility v3 for the past 3 weeks every morning, it's melted so much fat right off, it's been amazing to fit into clothes again. Going to give this one a go tomorrow! Edit: gave it a go, love it! Spoilt for choice now on what to do each day!

Loving these stretching routines, so effective and helping me protect my body while doing other hardcore workouts! Thank you!

Loved it Tom, thanks. It's so hard for me to sit in that position you're sitting at the begining though hahaha!

Just recently followed you and I have improved my flexibility. Thanks Tom

pumped to try this one out for first time. best thing about tom...he talks just the right amount.

By far the most relaxing version of this routine.

Thanks for another great vid Tom. I found your channel a month or 2 back and not looked back. Feeling looser and better every day!

Just finished this routine for the first time, I'm a very stiff guy and I can really feel the pain. Thanks for such a great routine

Not long found these videos, seeing how long ago the previous comments were but love this routine at the end of an achey day at work. Really does the job.

I have been following you and using your follow alongs for over a year This is my favorite Thank you for allowing us to be our better selves through your knowledge and help!!!

Thanks for the videos, I'm finding them very useful. 35 years ago I was an aerobics instructor - the A.G.E virus is catching up and I need to get more flexible again :)

Thanks Tom, that was just perfect for my mat-less hostel room in Helsinki! And real good after yesterday’s hike.

I believe this is version 4 and your latest one is version 5… I just noticed while I was creating my endless playlists full of your videos… lol, You’re my favourite for stretches!

I probably wouldn't stretch if it wasn't for these follow alongs. You make it far more enjoyable, thanks

Here's a tip: Every time you say 5 4 3 2 1.. N then again continue in same position.. Is confusing (a beginnner may think that the exercise is over so let's get out of the form) .. But we see on screen you're still in same position .. So better say.. REP 1 .. n then.. 54321 .. Or else use a timer on screen... Other than this video was helpful. Thank You 😊

Everyday I spend the time with Tom's stretches. It's really amazing life changing. Thank you Tom. God bless you🎉❤

Thanks for the new vid! As much as I love the other ones, I'll admit I was ready to change it up. 🤣 NEW video request (possibly a series): stretching and strength training for those with joint problems. Personally, I'm in the first year and a half of a rheumatoid arthritis/fibromyalgia testing and diagnosis. It's WAY DIFFERENT from making modifications for injuries and I'm ***REALLY*** struggling (and from my research, I'm joining the ranks of many others and there is a content vacuum on this). These autoimmune and other inflammatory diseases are poorly understood and under-treated. Here are what I believe to be the two biggest obstacles that need addressed: (1) Throttling to not go 100%. I've long played sports and trained and have usually worked out to exhaustion. These issues are like an injury in that I'm finding if I do as much as I *can* today, it actually sets me back and I pay for it for days (and beyond). This is why I like your beginner flexibility videos because I can make them harder for myself without going too far. But any of the more advanced videos are too much. So something in the middle would be ideal :) (2) RA affects hand, finger and wrist joints the worst (generally speaking and definitely in my case). You might be shocked to find how much you use your wrists in exercises all over the body!! For some stretches, I have found modifications, but for most, I just have to skip them because they hurt my wrists too much. Eventually, you wind up skipping 80% of an exercise and then, what's even the point? The second point is why I would LOVE, LOVE, LOVE to have videos from you, specifically, with medium stretches and exercises, modified for wrists and hands. I love your videos because I want the calisthenic angle, not the spiritual/yogi one. And I think your background and education are best suited to create content that would actually benefit, stretch and even workout people like me. I want to be the good sore the next day from stretches and workouts, but for all the content I can find, I'm either just in residual pain for a week or I didn't get any benefit. Please, please, please! 🙏🙏🙏 I'd be happy to go into more detail, but don't want to leave you a novel here. You'd be my, and I'm sure many other sufferers', hero. 👼💕

This is almost a birthday present! Thanks, Tom.

So much support for this channel.. Thank you!

Thank you for this this will be my new 2 to 3 times a week flexibility training. I am 66 years old With arthritis in hips and shoulders. I am also doing a very short hitt workout twice a week and strength training twice a week. Want to maintain and get strong in a healthy way. This flexibility training workout was absolutely perfect

Only just come across your channel after years of tight hips from sitting down all day. My chiropractor told me to stretch every day so here i am.

Still using v1 and v2 religiously. Exciting for this one!

Thank you Tom, I've followed along to this routine a fair few times and at 47yeras old, I find it very beneficial after visiting the gym or after a run... Your content is much appreciated 👍

Good video like always Tom! I would really enjoy watching a video focusing on warmup mobility for kickboxing and Muay Thai. I have been having alot of problem with the stretches for higher and stronger kick. If you or anyone has any tips, please let me know!

Tom, buddy. As much as I appreciate the absolutely stellar content, because it truly has been helping me work out the kinks and basically locked joints from 20 years of sitting on my bum, we really need to have a chat about the term "beginner".

did it twice, really felt it in my ql, lower back and glutes. thanks so much!

that leg hug 😍 def feel relaxed after that one. My back feels free

You should be sponsored by a lofi music maker, that’s why I love your follow alongs! Such great content also, thank you!

Really enjoy/appreciate these videos. I’m currently battling lower back nerve pain post 360 fusion surgery (L5-S1)

My swimmers enjoy these videos during our training sessions. You make fantastic routines that are very effective!

Just did this for the first time following my pull routine. My God. I feel amazing. Thank you.

You have saved my life, thanks for the love!

I like doing beginner stuff from time to time. Feels good.

Was at it again this morning thank you Tom. Had an injury at crossfit the other day doing burpees of all things😅. Then my sister told me what rice was as I was eating rice. So, Ill be hanging out in these videos for a bit till I recover. Thanks again.

3 days in. Already notice a huge different in flexibility/range of motion. Awesome content.

love these follow alongs! ive used all your follow alongs during rona and have gained flexibility i didnt think was possible...thank you!!

thanks for posting more of these - i was stock and did number one for a year!!

thx tom, it's routines like this that help me think about imbalances i wouldn't normally think of

That slippery hamstring stretch is so cool! Love that you get to gradually loosen them up.

Hey man, thank you for all these awesome Routine videos. I run every even day of the week, and on odd days, I do your routines. My body couldn't be happier.

I was just wondering which routine to follow tonight Thank you sir

You're doing a great service for the public.

One of the best routine u Havel Done, Great work

I will do it for a while. Love it. Thanks Tom!!

Have been doing V1 everyday, didn't get on with V2, but love V3, thanks! Will be doing this one at the weekend when I have more time.

new sunday morning favourite!

Thank you so much for more follow along. These are definitely then most played vids in my YT history. I started with front splits in late summer. And have done flexibility follow along every day. In December I added added the body weight follow alongs to my daily habit. I hope there is more V3 coming in the future. I might be in better shape now that when I was going to the gym.

Really think this is one of your best routines yet. Has a perfect balance of enjoyment and suffer! Thanks!

Hi. Thank you so much. I love the other 2 beginner video and always do them. Thanks for the new one. Wish i was as flexable as you are.

Really really enjoyed the stretch crossing your arms under your legs and walking your ankles out. I have some hip unevenness and I feel like that really isolated and worked areas that I usually have trouble addressing. Definitely adding it to the roster. Thanks Tom :)

Thanks Tom! My girlfriend and I are really enjoying your follow along routines.

Really helped my shoulders after climbing. Thanks.

I absolutely love these videos. Prior to quarantine i used to alwaysss utilize your mobility routines and flexibility post workout. I made it a goal to stay consistent daily since quarantine started and I’m honestly proud I’ve gained SOO much flexibility thanks to all the amazing knowledge you share bro, I was diagnosed with external tibial torsion which causes join inflammation, blocking etc.. while I wait for the dr’s to figure everything out and give me a surgery date these AMAZING routines keep my body feeling absolutely amazing!

It was a nice routine, I really struggled with the hamstring stretches maybe didn't quite get what was going on there and my lower back sort of hurt a bit but I feel much looser now. It's nice to have these little sessions after a walk on off days.

really nice mate, can't wait for V5 to come out 👊

Wow! This was very good!!! thanks for this! I am shuffling between version 1 and 2 in between the days, this one is covering all the things I was missing! THANKS TOM! Looking forward already to V4! :P

new to the channel, happy i found it after searching for beginners yoga, been doing your routines for a few weeks now. thanks for the help Tom, I really think theyve been making a difference for me physically

We Love you Tom, my family and I have a video chat every morning where we then do exercises together. We love your videos as they are easy to follow and we can really feel the stretches helping us.

I felt more tightness in my shoulders and lats than a pec stretch. So I've got work to do. Thanks Tom, very helpful this vid!

i enjoy watching your content. FOllowing along brings pain and shame on how inflexible i am. good work.

Absolutely love this stretching feels so rejuvenated after it - thanks for the follow alongs, I do the desk stretch follow along most days at work too!

I finally found a really helpful stretching training!

Best version so far. It actually feels like sports 😅

Thanks for taking the time out of your day to make this video to benefit us all many thanks and blessings your way , I appreciated it

Love your work Tom, your routines are helping me everyday. Keep up the great work, cheers from Adelaide Australia!

Awesome! I've been doing the exercises that are in the follow along for swimmers since the pandemic started. Now there's another one that I can watch to alternate it with the other video. I'm glad to say doing that follow along has helped me increased my performance in my swim practice. Keep up the great job Tom and thank you for sharing! Regards from the Dominican Republic🇩🇴.

Awesome to wake up to this one, really feel good after it!

You've outdone your self with this one. Thanks 👍

This might be my new fave of your follow alongs. My request would be for a posture / upper cross follow along please.

I’ve been following along,it makes me feel better after work, thank you😊

Loving these follow alongs. You're a hero.

short and sweet stretches. thankyou.

Dude your videos rock so glad I found your channel I feel like it’s been helping me a lot

Probably the best follow along stretching videos, all the other youtubers just waffle soo much😂

Love it. Really felt my whole body stretching. Thanks

This is an awesome stretch after a boxing workout. Love it!

Awesome routine!! Ever thought of making one specifically for ball hockey & hockey players? I play both pretty frequently and they both use different major muscles, I could use the help on making an awesome mobility routine. Keep up the good work, I’m praying for you!

That sciatic nerve stretch was heavenly

Another great follow along video from the master! Saved it to my favourites, will be part of my weekly routine stuff along with your other stretchers! Thank you!

Thank you Tom for another great follow along. I loved this one. Gentle enough for me before bed. Have a wonderful evening.

Thanks Tom love your content! This routine is my go to when I have a headache and it really helps 😊

Excellent routine again👏👏🤩🤩! Thanks 🙏 and greetings from Germany 🇩🇪!💙💜💙

You are my inspiration! Thanks!

Love your follow along stretching videos Brother. Thank you. Much Love❤️

Still coming back to this one!

Great video Tom, thank you!

This is amazing. Thank you so much, I feel fantastic. Been doing this every morning

Haha I’ve been using your v1 follow along for a few weeks now and discovered you had a v2 and started doing that. Now I just got recommended your v3 lol 😂

Thank you very much🤝 love your “follow along” you explain so everyone can join. Keep on. Love ❤️ from Denmark
