Description

Flexibility decreases as you age, but you can do something to combat it! I get into detail on this topic along with answering another question regarding flexibility and knee pain, and go into my defense of the proper use of isolation movements in our 2nd Q&A show.
I lay out many of the flexibility and mobility strategies out there and how to use each to keep mobile, get the most out of your workouts, and resolve injuries that come from tight muscles. Some are better than others, so hopefully this will help you figure out which one’s best for you!
I also get into the hot button topic of isolation movements. They get a lot of hate in the functional fitness world, but I think they’re largely misunderstood and underutilized. I explain when and why to use certain single-joint exercises in your program to make you a better, safer mover.
