10:17 that back crack tho
On the 2nd stretch, I am feeling it more down the back of my leg that's staying on the ground. Any advice?
That was great.
I'm gonna check your channel to see if you have any cool down post leg training routines
After the cooldown, you might feel like lying down and scrolling through the comments. DONT. You will fall asleep, get up and take a bath
Been doing this cooldown and one of your injury free videos for about 2 weeks now, I've definitely noticed a difference!
"you get to a point where you feel.. "
Yea im waiting for that point James 🙂
Thankyou
Thx James! This is an excellent cooldown routine.
Quality cool down thanks
Awesome many thanks just started running and this has really helped 😊❤
I used to just do some stretches but nothing has cooled me down quite like this set. Thank you James, this is gonna be a permanent part of my routine ❤
Guys do surya namaskar it will help you in every kind of streching
Hey James,
Thank you for this! I have been running on the treadmill for the past 1 year (on an average 30 min and 5km).
My question was running on treadmill is considered bad for injury – but with proper stretching will it still be a problem?
Simply delicious
What a sexy, juicy dude. WOOF!
Lessons learned and hopefully kept.
You really shouldn't have adverts mid roll on a 10 min fitness video. How are people supposed to follow along? Half an hour = 1 appropriately placed mid roll ad. Sorry!
👍🥰🥰
Just stumbled on this video and I love it. I’m a terrible runner and I’m trying to get better, your videos have definitely helped me along my training journey. Thank you!
you need different shoes for better balance james
I like the synthy tiki bar music lol
You’re a legend mate
Your a legend, this was such a nice chilled stretch after a intense 5K run
This is a lot like what wim hof teacheas
I used your warm up and this video for my run and it made such a huge difference! Thank you for helping this beginner out!
Thank you.
glad i found you
