Whether you are a seasoned athlete or a fitness enthusiast, flexibility work is an important part of your training. Flexibility training is a crucial and often neglected aspect of all performance programs which, when incorporated regularly and intelligently, can lead to a reduction in injury and discomfort, and lead to improved posture, range of motion, and an increase in performance. These techniques can be used by those brand new to training or those with many years behind them. Regardless of your level of experience and expertise, these techniques are guaranteed to improve your functional flexibility and athletic performance. This program has all of the information you need to; learn static & dynamic flexibility techniques to improve range of motion as well as warm up and cool down from your events; self-myofascial release to help break up tight areas in your body; and Yoga for endurance athletes to help you with mind, body and spirit. This is the perfect compliment to any of my strength programs. If you are ready to put together the ultimate flexibility program or improve the plan you already have, then The Complete Flexibility Training Program is just what the doctor ordered!
