In my experience it feels so much better to be flexible and mobile with good cardio ability compared to being bulky. It feels healthier for me. Also being bodyweight strong does help too.

I used to be somewhat of a bodybuilder in my youth, was absolutely huge, when ever someone met me the first thing they would say is how big my arms were or how great i looked. I couldnt run up a set of stairs without being out of breath xD and it certainly wasnt good in the bedroom. Now I run every other day and do bodyweight workouts and I feel like superman. :D so yeah, couldn't agree more

So as an avid and aging exerciser, I agree...the fitness industry tends to go on dad's versus what is good for the needs of average Joe or Jane. What I find an issue is the lack of good quality training videos that has a combination of both on KZfaq. It may be due to fitness instructors not educated on the importance of "how to" or including in programs. You need all in a fitness program.

I thought mobility would be the ability to move through a set range, which requires combination of flexibility and strength. So for example there are martial artist in TKD and Karate that can slowly lift there leg laterally until they are in a standing split. I want that, I'm not able to do a middle split yet but the angle my legs are able to get up to, bc of the "flexibility" of my adductors, is greater than the angle my legs go when I try a slow controlled lateral leg raise. The reason is lack of strength in my glutes to abduct leg higher, meaning by getting stronger in my glutes to catch up to the flexibility of my adductors will increase my mobility. So mobility training would be moving within the range of motion you establish with flexibility and strength training, to keep and solidify you mobility gains.

Hey Tom, did you ever struggle with ankle flexibility or do you feel you just genetically have good dorsiflexion? It's the only joint I haven't been able to improve my range of motion in and I'm starting to think there's a large genetic component with the ankles specifically since I know people who are fairly sedentary but have insane dorsiflexion which isn't something you see often with other muscles like the hamstrings for example. Interested in hearing your 2 cents about this! Love the vids btw, you're the best at what you do on KZfaq.

It's the only apsect of my flexibilty i've made 0 progress in for some reason. Also, you can seem to find countless photos online of before/after progress photos showing improvements in the splits, pancake, pike etc but none showing ankle mobility progress which also makes me skeptical about being able to make a significant long term dent in ankle flexilibilityimprovement.

What would you recommend to someone who is so incredibly inflexible that even your beginner hamstring routines are very difficult? Is it a case of just doing the exercises to the best of my ability until I progress or are there ways to adapt some exercises to make them manageable (safe??) for someone who is very, very inflexible. For context, keeping my back straight I can only get about a 15-20 degree bend from being upright, with a bent back I can just about reach my shins and I can't sit with my legs straight in front without my back being quite curved.

The stretching before I sleep helps loosen my body up if I start to get stiff from the post boxing workout. Some days I wake up feeling good some days I feel super sore but I push threw it because my boxing coach tells me I’m going to hurt this sport is a lot of wear & tear on body.. am I possibly overdoing the stretching?
