FEEL MORE MOBILE OR FLEXIBLE:

Resistance exercise performed correctly can truly make your joints feel looser, and your muscles more supple. There is no need to stretch if you perform strength exercise correctly.

A few key ideas can help:

1.     Training through your FULL ACTIVE RANGE OF MOTION, with control.

2.     Focus on moving through an exercise with a tolerable load over a fatigable load (at first).

3.     Exaggerating the extreme ranges under control.

4.     Reciprocal Inhibition: Contracting the opposing muscle of a tight muscle, or in other words training both sides of a joint.

5.     Autogenic Inhibition: Allowing a muscle to fully shorten under load will help it relax itself.
