How To Measure Flexibility Progress (3 Methods)

[@FitnessFAQs]

Excellent video. Progressive overload is key in flexibility too. What gets measured gets managed 😁

[@BodyweightWarrior]

Thanks Dan and completely agree! It's such a hard one to gauge.

@@BodyweightWarrior I've been really enjoying the stretch routines and the excellence of presentation of your wisdom on this (and other body weight trading topics). On a more superficial note - would you be willing to relay the brand/cut of shorts you're wearing in this and other vids? I've noticed them the past few vids and like both their styling and (obvious) functionality. Also, size you wear - since I'm guessing we're right about the same size-ish - 6'3", 31.5" waist here. Thanks!

Nice. I just had spinal fusion surgery. Going forward I’m going to make flexibility and mobility my main goal. Mobility and lack of pain is everything. It took me 30 years of bro weight lifting to finally realize this fact. Being mobile and _free of pain_ is a skill or “condition” that is more important than having big muscles. I’m so excited going forward now that I’ve discovered this calisthenics focused community. Happy Monday!!!

[@animalstylefry]

How are you doing now?

[@Forrestarabian]

@@animalstylefry I've lost 20 pounds by focusing on running, pushups, and pull-ups. Gonna run a 21:30 5k and 5:50 mile at age 49 this year. #winning. thanks for asking.

Another measurement of progression would be how long it takes to get to the position after you've obtained it. For example, I've already got my deepest sidesplit position. So, I started noticing how long it would take me to get there. Like, on the third set of the main strength building exercises for it, if I get there on the 1st, 2nd or 3rd set of the "extra" work (like pnf)

Can you please make an in-depth Video on Balance & Stability‽ With Exercises/Drills(maybe a follow along for 30-ish mins) & How we can improve or the Logic Of balance and stability in the Human Body!

[@robertfox4114]

Watch parkour balance drills videos. Mostly it's walking on rails and doing squats on rails. Also if you want to gain aerial awareness(if thats what you are talking about),you gotta do sports that involve flips(tricking,trampoline etc.)

[@nimrodmurerwa7475]

Excellent highlights. Thank you.

[@Ericliaoo]

It's always so hard to maintain consistency with stretching, but definitely going to download a protractor app to keep myself motivated for the changes

[@BodyweightWarrior]

Absolutely!!

[@shadowdragoon5]

Thank you for the advice!

[@brookbisrat1244]

Tom! Can you do a 20-30 min active flexibility follow along - full body?

You are in luck he already did!

pls make a tutorial for your hair style

[@jothidas369]

Please make a similar video on measuring mobility progress. I want to learn more about quantitative assessment on mobility improvement. It would be a life changer. Much love. 💪🏼☯️♥️🤗

[@BodyweightWarrior]

Same thing 👍

[@sunshines6784]

Thanks for this info ,good idea about measure ↔️ useful tips for splits stretching days ✨

[@pcassio23]

How many days per week should I do front split stretching ? I'll start with it, and after move to pancake and middle splits.

[@mathiasgangsy6467]

I would say to have one main goal and do it two times a week. See Toms video on his middle split routine. If you're doing front split I would head for an intensity similar to that routine. Also you could do some greasing the groove. Here Ido Portal got an excellent challenge on the diagonal stretch (Google it).

Hey! Awesome content, i just discovered ur channel, u hav a lot of good stuff, i wanna do everything! From where should i start?

[@selftaughtflippingtwins8501]

Hi there. Maybe start with whatever you feel comfortable with. We're 6 and we started with the splits and arm stretches to make us more flexible. Good luck, you can do it! :)

[@LarsRyeJeppesen]

Very informative, Coach

[@gregphillips3837]

I would love a follow along flexibility routine for Muay Thai 🙏

[@kickinghorse2405]

Hiya Excellent video! on a much-neglected topic (speaking for myself, of course :). Feeling empowered a bit more - and excited to review the routine vid. Thanks! I wonder, does anyone know the brand or make of shorts dude is wearing (in the intro still and again starting at min 1:33)? Thanks n' cheers!

[@archifit8041]

Would you recommend starting mobility training with pike and pancake? Also, what intensity would you recommend at a start?

[@KowareyasuiOkami]

Hi What Brand are you Shorts? In the GYM shots and at Home Shots.

[@themadfrankenstien]

Good videos, you should do a podcast with hamilton or steven low or something

[@nourelgabry3272]

for me I don't care about measuring progress I just do the training and the progress will come someday I don't need to overthink it

[@glootgoy9103]

The app idea is definitely worth applying with some positions, Thank you Tom really informative video i liked the gymnast analysis way more coz it gave me a ton of info and points of view. Also im using your daily 7's as a cooldown routine at the end of my workouts. What do you think about it?

[@BodyweightWarrior]

Great to hear, sounds like a good set up :)

[@ecosan8914]

A what app to track the angles????

[@shy_dodecahedron]

Honestly I just came to see something like a formula for a flexibility unit. Or a universal scale

[@rcsuarez1]

Do you ship your merchandise to the States?

[@John.McIntyre]

yes, and pretty good price tbh

[@Simon-zo2vo]

Hey what are thoughts on those KZbin channels promoting splits in 30 days.

[@BodyweightWarrior]

poor advice and gives the wrong expectations but there is also going to be people for these sort of videos

[@herodotus7]

Back foot might should be untucked to better square the hips.

[@SchuyFit]

Damn, this is flexibility goals. I'm continuously stretching, but it just seems like my hips won't open up.

[@vivinpan]

Try going to a good Structural Integration Practitioner or Deep Tissue Bodyworker, one with tons of experience once every two weeks or so.

[@selftaughtflippingtwins8501]

You'll get there man. Know you can do it, just keep pushing past the pain and keep trying bro!! It can be hard for us to, but just keep trying our best to get more flexible :)

[@swapnaroy5341]

Hi tom!! Can you please make a video about how an intermidate can perform flexibility and mobility routine throughout the week. If anyone can do some poses then how many times should they practice that
