Thoughts on Flexibility and Range of Motion:

Many studies on the effectiveness of stretching-It is a good idea to do your own research. Trust but verify is a good mentality to use. Make sure to read the studies, not just the abstract. For you? Use your own nose...If something doesn’t smell right to you, look into and reach out to Robbie to discuss.

Pre-Stretching

Static Stretching- there are many studies that look at stretching before exercise. These studies show that it might impede performance. It shows that not only it doesn’t help, it actually might inhibit better performance. It might cause muscles to coil.

Dynamic Stretching-Doesn’t appear to help performance before exercise

Stretching Post-Workout

Yoga

Yoga works on balance and strength with movement. This stimulates neurological function so it adds significantly more value to your routine than just stretching. It is known to improve flexibility.
