EPISODE 209: Flexibility Training Demystified
When it comes to flexibility, most people fall into 3 main categories: those who have always been flexible and think it’s no big deal (dancers, gymnasts, random outliers); those who have always been stiff and assume they can’t change; and lastly, those rare individuals who have truly transformed their bodies.
