MUSCLES
Effective movement occurs when muscles are flexible and mobile enough. Tight muscles can cause a loss in performance, but also an increase in injury.

Stretch before exercise?
Should we stretch a tight muscle before a workout? Stretching lengthens the muscle, whereas exercise contracts it. It’s best to use dynamic stretching before exercise.

Flexibility or mobility?
What is the difference between flexibility and mobility? Flexibility is how far a muscle can stretch. Mobility refers to how far your muscles can move a joint in its range of motion.

Range of motion
Range of motion is how far your joints can move, without causing harm. We don’t want too little range of motion or too much. A healthy balance is key.
