Two components that make True40 different! This is a big talking point for any clients who have arthritis, are older or are stiff post-injury/surgery. 

Flexibility versus Mobility:

• Flexibility: Available range of motion around a joint (muscles) 
• Mobility: How well you can move through a functional range of motion for a given joint

Just because you are flexible, doesn’t mean you have great mobility. Example: Your hips can be relatively flexible, but if you have any sort of impingement, trigger point or knot, you won’t have great mobility. Corrective exercises and stretches can help both flexibility and mobility. 

Sitting at a desk all day will greatly impact flexibility in muscles and mobility in joints. 

TRX work allows you to leverage body weight and unload weight when performing strength, mobility and flexibility exercises. This means you can instantly modify or challenge any exercise to meet your needs. TRX work offers several flexibility and mobility benefits:

• Improved circulation
• Improved range of motion
• Improved posture
• Decreased joint stiffness
• Decreased muscle tension/soreness
• Better awareness of body in space
• Relaxation
• Improved focus and visualization

There are a few TRX stretches that I think could really add to our work. Find the set ups and images here (toward bottom of article): http://blog.paleohacks.com/flexibility-and-mobility-with-trx-bonus-stretch-routine/#

• Chest stretch (would be great after combo work in the straps instead of clasping hands behind back and pulling down)
• Upper back stretch (great after any rhomboid/upper back/neck work like any sort of rows)
• Standing figure four stretch (after standing glute work) 
• Hip hinge (great for any hip-intensive/low back/hamstring work – could do after legs, combo or glutes)
• Lower back stretch with rotation (great for a spinal twist after anything working back/lats/hamstrings)
