Mobility is the foundation of every movement. Without adequate range of motion, you can't achieve proper positions—deep squats, overhead presses, or straddle levers. You'll work on hip mobility for squats and L-sits, shoulder mobility for handstands and dislocates, and overall flexibility for bridging movements. Mobility isn't just stretching—it's active control through your full range. Consistency matters more than intensity. Work on mobility daily, and your strength training will improve faster. The two go hand in hand.
Mobility / Flexibility Progression Chain
- Hip Flexor Stretch →
The Hip Flexor Stretch is a mobility exercise that opens the hips and improves compression strength. - Pike Stretch →
The Pike Stretch is a flexibility exercise that stretches the hamstrings and builds hip flexibility. - Pancake Stretch →
The Pancake Stretch is a flexibility exercise that opens the hips and stretches the hamstrings and adductors. - Shoulder Dislocates →
Shoulder Dislocates are a mobility exercise that improves shoulder flexibility and stability for straight-arm movements. - Thoracic Mobility Drill →
The Thoracic Mobility Drill is a mobility exercise that improves spinal extension and rotation for straight-arm movements. - Bridge (Wheel Pose) →
The Bridge is a mobility exercise that builds spinal extension, shoulder flexibility, and core strength.
