STOP STRETCHING TO IMPROVE MOBILITY - Do this instead!
Hey guys, so I want to share the biggest tip that has improved my understanding of mobility and getting more out of my range of motion and thats - focusing on strength 💪 OVER just stretching 🧘
I've spent years stretching my hips only to get barely noticeable improvement on my range of motion ❌
Yet once I was started making my hips STRONGER, my ROM improved dramatically without having to get warm and stretch for a bunch of time 🤯
This is because a stronger muscle can actually HANDLE going further in range rather than stretching a weak muscle that may temporarily REACH it - which is what often leads to injuries! 🤕
The best phrase I've heard on this that I'm stealing, "Stretching rents range of motion, strength buys it!" 💰
🚨 That's why I created a 20 minute Hip mobility flow video in the classroom here that covers several hip strengthening exercises (and some stretches) to build strength in these weak areas and actually improve your range of motion 🚨
Check it out on the classroom tab under the Mobility category and let me know what you think! 😊
