Why The One-Dimensional Approach To Body Care Doesn’t Work

Two Big Reasons You Don’t Make (And Keep) Mobility Gains

The Difference Between Mobility And Flexibility
Once you recognize the differences between flexibility and mobility, you start making better use of your 'mobility training time'. When I first became a trainer in 2002, I didn't know this stuff - even with the education I got in school and my certification training. So don't feel bad if you didn't
