What is FLEX stick mobility?
Throughout lockdown, completing activities that you would expect to be able to get through has become more difficult. It’s easy to find bumps in the road, whether you’re struggling to build up the motivation, can’t bring yourself to get started, or don’t think you have the right equipment. Do you want to try a new variation on personal training? Read on to find out more about FLEX stick mobility.
What is FLEX stick mobility?
FLEX stick mobility is a form of training that doesn’t use weights or an excessive amount of lifting. By working through your exercises with a large stick, you can find yourself going through a wide range of motions. You wouldn’t be able to do these motions with any other form of workout. By taking part in FLEX stick mobility, you can boost your joint range of motion. You will also improve your strength and even develop better control over your movements.
Who is suitable for FLEX stick mobility?
Anyone can try FLEX stick mobility. The fact that you only need a stick to get started means that you’re already partway there. The nature of the exercises makes them accessible to all. Older people who have joint problems will be able to flex themselves as far as possible. Younger people looking for a calmer workout can also get involved and challenge themselves. It is highly adaptable, so there’s something for everyone.
Why not choose different training?
Weight training and high-intensity impact training are great for those looking to have a quick impact. However, these workouts can be intense and unsuitable for people looking for a calmer way to spend their downtime. Furthermore, it doesn’t have to be a choice between one and the other. You can use FLEX stick mobility to train your joints to become more mobile whilst implementing HIIT for stamina and strength. Combining multiple types of workouts gives you the best of both worlds
Recovering from an injury
If you’re recovering from an injury, a high-intensity workout is one of the last things you want to do. This could aggravate your injury and cause you to do even more damage to your body. However, FLEX stick mobility is the perfect type of workout to speed up your recovery rather than slow it down. By engaging in long flowing movements that stretch out joints, you can build up muscle tone over time without risking your physical recovery.
