Are your flexibility limits effecting your life?

Can you bend down to tie your shoes? Reach fully above your head?

I started studying flexibility January of 2019 and have come to realize that most people have serious limitations with their range of motion. Losing your flexibility is a slow process that creeps up over time. It hinders your ability to perform daily tasks. It increases risk of injury. It can lead to pain due to muscle tightness that can get worse over time, causing further issues.

If you are feeling tightness or discomfort, try to stretch more often. Pick a muscle group and go for it. Try to hold for 2 minutes per stretch. Work up to 5 minutes over time, as you gain more flexibility. Fully relax the muscle being stretched. Inhale for 4 seconds through the nose, exhale through the mouth for 8 seconds. Give it a shot! You will notice a difference in in 2-3 days.

One casual change at a time.
