Good stretching apps?

[minipie]

Desperately need to get into a regular stretching habit, my shoulders especially are in a state and have been for years.

I’ve seen ads for StretchIt, anyone tried and is it any good? If not are there any others people would recommend? I think I need an app rather than just Youtube stretching videos as I need something that will ping me and make me remember to stretch!

thanks!

Not apps, sorry, but Tom Morrison on TikTok (he’s also on YouTube) has been life changing for my shoulders. I’ve been doing a number of his his mobility exercises 3 x a week before doing my usual Yoga and it’s been amazing.

If it’s just reminders, could you not just set a reminder on your phone/Alexa or something to prompt you? It’s just initially whilst you get into a habit. I actually can’t wait to do them, even if I’m knackered, because I stiffen up and end up in more pain if I miss a session.

Oh not heard of him- I will look him up on youtube. Thanks. Yes I could try phone reminders but was hoping for something with more of a “program” to it as that tends to help ensure I actually do it!

I like the leap fitness group ones, they have various including a stretching one and are free although you can upgrade for no ads. You can set a daily reminder and there are lots of different routines to choose from.

Meant to come back & post a link.
This was the first exercise I did of his that I was initially rubbish at. I had an old rotator cuff injury that just wasn’t feeling great, I still suffer sometimes but things have improved a lot doing this and a couple of others. I’ve added several of his movements so do some for thoracic mobility and hips too

his hip ones are pretty good too.

thank you - I will have a look! Also at Leap

There are a few I've seen:

Stretch-it as you mention
Pliability

The "Dynamic" range (runner, cyclist, triathlete, but you don't need to be any of those things), I use the Dynamic Runner app and stretch most days.

Bend

There's a lady in Australia called Charlotte who is launching one called Elevate Fitness soon and it looks very good.

Also Live in Leggings - again stretching and mobility. She's in the UK but moving to Canada so has an online offering

Sorry not sure why that came up on my feed, as it's a bit old! Still, maybe someone will find it useful!
