GET FLEXIBLE

GET FLEXIBLE

Are you looking to add stretching and mobility to your current fitness routine? This is the #LeSweatGoal for you. These stretch and mobility classes can be added to any LSTV class!

The difference between mobility and flexibility is the ability to maintain control of the limbs at a particular end range of motion. For example, the ability to get up off the ground in a cross-legged position without using your hands.

EQUIPMENT
A yoga block can be very helpful in mobility and stretch classes. If you are looking for a deeper release, a massage ball is a good tool to have close by.

FREQUENCY
We recommend doing at least 10-minutes of daily stretching or mobility for maximum results. The best way to find the right exercises is to try various stretching and mobility classes. When you find an exercise that you can feel benefits your body, keep that a part of your daily routine.

Looking for a more structured program? We suggest trying one--or all--of our Le Sweat Challenges:
21-Day Mobility Challenge
28-Day Core 101 Challenge
28-Day Bands Challenge
30-Day Booty Challenge

HOW TO TRACK PROGRESS
The best way to keep track of improvements in flexibility and mobility is to note any subtle changes in your posture, both standing and sitting, and your ease of movement at these joints: hips, knees, shoulders, and lower back.
