Are you stretching regularly but not really becoming more flexible? Then it's time to rethink your approach. Today we're introducing you to three simple concepts that will help you break through your flexibility plateau.
Not all stretching is the same. If you're not getting anywhere with traditional methods, you should take a closer look at the following strategies from Lattice Head of Flexibility Coach Josh Hadley.
The idea behind the three flexibility concepts is to achieve faster progress thanks to approaches that go beyond the usual static stretching and yoga.
Becoming more flexible: What you will learn today
- Discover different flexibility techniques: From active isometric exercises and controlled eccentric exercises to dynamic stretches, you will learn how to build strength, confidence and range of motion by combining different methods.
- Focused, efficient routines: Flexibility, like strength, improves best with a focused approach. Learn why it's faster and more sustainable to work on two or three key flexibility goals at once rather than ticking off a long list of stretches.
- tracking and goal setting: Learn how to continue increasing your range of motion. Just like measuring progress on a hangboard, tracking your flexibility will help you overcome plateaus and stay motivated.
