A Reason to Consider Mobility Training



Many people confuse flexibility with mobility.  What is misunderstood is that you can have great flexibility, but poor overall mobility.  Likewise, you can have good mobility with poor flexibility.  There is a need for a person to have both flexibility and good mobility to enhance their performance.  Also, I had been reading a lot lately on pros and cons of static stretching pre and post workout.  The article I read (link supplied below) touches on leaving the static stretching for a cool-down post workout.  With the wide interest in activities like CrossFit, mobility is now becoming a focus point in training.
