Beginner's Bundle®

7 weeks completed and I feel so motivated due to the progress I have made . I have an anterior pelvic tilt which has caused lower back pain off and on for years, Pilates has helped but sciatic pain was a common occurrence. What Tom has taught me is that I can change this - I just thought at the age of 58 it was the way I'm made so had to live with it!

When I started I could only do 5 of the 15 exercises fully but now I can do 14 - the side plank march is a very slow work in progress! I feel as if my hips have been oiled and my daily dog hikes are now faster as I'm taking longer strides and just feel more fluid. All these wins combine to spur me on and I'm now adding extras on to my routines to work on other areas - my balance is awful so definitely needs work. For someone not that keen on exercise the progress I can see and feel has spurred me on - can't tell you how grateful I am for that. So for anyone struggling please keep going as it is so worth it, no matter how long it takes.

I just want to say this whole SMM thing is amazing. I'm two weeks in, I've probably done about 6 lots of stretches (maybe 5 and a half) but I'm about to go on holiday and l've packed the stretches sheet with me, hoping to do one set a day.

Typically on holiday I don't sleep well and my back just dies on me so I'm hoping this keeps me moving to keep up with my boys. 

The cost for what you get, above and beyond the SMM is incredibly good value and the posts I see on here with the successes and the effort is phenomenal. I've paid for all sorts of niff naff over the years but only now do I finally feel like I'm understanding more about how our bodies work and learning about the best way to keep mobile and hopefully away from the physio. 

Glad I've found such a warm, friendly community. Keep up the great work all of you.

Got back into SMM recently. I have had a very difficult time with my shoulder due to a twist in my upper thoracic. 

As a tour guide, I wear very heavy kit (15kg of chainmail) and it has left my left shoulder in agony for weeks. It got to the point where inflammation was burning my shoulder and Ibuprofen was hardly working. Simple movement of my arms would flare it up and I had to keep my shoulder still for it to disappear. Never experienced anything like it, and it was horrible!!

3 days into SMM yesterday. Today was the first day in a long time where my shoulder was not in agony. It's an absolute joy to feel what SMM can really do for your body. 12 weeks of physio exercises and even 3 months of chiropractor has marginally helped my back.

But 3 days of SMM and my shoulder is thanking me for it 😂😂 I do sometimes hate doing SMM, but it is absolutely worth every second!

Also just want to thank Tom, Jenni and the team for updating SMM and providing the video guides. I knew you guys didn't want to do them, but I speak for myself and others in saying they have hugely helped me understand and do the exercises better!

I've been doing SMM religiously for 18 months and have gone from being a runner with lots of little niggles (and also being 48 and menopausal! 🙇‍♀️🤣) to running my fastest
marathon in 9 years today. 

Thank you Tom Morrison- you made me strong again 🙏🙏🙏

I started SMM in June and after having some success I bought the Beginner's Bundle for my 24 year old son in August as he has a couple of herniated discs and was experiencing lots of back pain. 

He said "Thanks" and proceeded to ignore it. I kept dropping Tom's name every time we Facetimed and he'd roll his eyes. I went to visit him about a month ago to help him move and that involved driving my car 13 hours in one day. Previously I would have been so stiff that l'd barely be able to walk after that long in a car.

That night we were walking to a restaurant and halfway there he stopped suddenly and looked at me and said, what's going on mom...did you get your knee fixed? You're not limping or anything. I just looked at him and said, "Have l told you about Tom Morrison?!?" He laughed.

Well, I got a call this week and he sheepishly informed me that he's started SMM and after 3 sessions he already feels so much better.

He said he thought it would just be some easy stretches that didn't do much and was very surprised that some of the exercises were so challenging, especially the Thoracic Bridge Press and the Side Plank March. 

Very happy he's finally on the Tom Morrison bandwagon. As an added bonus my sister just bought SMM for her and her husband.

So very excited (should really get out more 😂)

At the age of 55 yrs I have the huge privilege of looking after my almost two year old granddaughter during the day 🥰

Watching her play she always sits in the flat feet on the floor low squat position, a position I always felt was for the very young or flexible.

After doing SMM for 5 weeks I thought this morning let's just see .....well, well, well I can do it too!!! 😆

Thanks Tom Morrison and Jenni Sanders for helping make a Grandma's Friday 💪😁
