Improve mobility & flexibility

Flexibility and Mobility training is a crucial component of any effective personal training program. Having mobility allows you to improve your quality of life by:

  • improving joint health
  • improving range of motion
  • improving movement quality
  • improving balance and stability
  • improving muscular function
  • improving posture

Flexibility and Mobility training tailored to your needs

Flexibility and Mobility training is important to master before focusing on strength training to reduce your risk of injury or worsening already present compensations occurring in the body and to regain full functioning of the body. With Flexibility and Mobility training, the emphasis is on optimal form and control as well as maintaining full range of motion at each joint. We at Leading Edge Personal Trainers value function first, which is why we make mobility
training part of every training session. As a result, our clients see improvements in how they move and feel each and every week. For any client coming off of an injury or with very poor range of motion and posture, we focus solely on improving their mobility before adding any additional level of resistance training in their program.

Our Flexibility and Mobility training starts off with basic mobility exercises such as hip cars, shin box rotations, wall angels, and seated spinal twist. As progress is made in your program we advance into more intricate poses that require greater control, strength, and stability. Examples include, crab reach, windmill and ape reach. Eventually we will progress into incorporating additional forms of resistance such as kettlebells, resistance bands or dumbbells.

Client Testimonials

Noelle is the best. My situation is complex and Noelle has taken the time to understand and customize my workout. She is very talented and has a wide range of options to help you. I see improvements already!!
Michael
Kern is such a positive force in the gym. He knows exactly how far to push to get the most out of your workout. He is great at accommodating and working around injuries as well.
Caitlin
I started training with Noelle shortly after having my second child. I had never worked out before and was really intimidated. Noelle asked me about my personal goals and made me feel at ease right away. I feel so accomplished after each session. She really pushes me to work harder each time. She's sneaky about increasing the level of difficulty- I often don't realize how hard I've worked until I feel the burn later! She also checks in with me daily to help me reach my diet goals. That's an amazing bonus! I've been with Leading Edge for about 8 months and I love how much stronger and in control I feel. I've also lost weight without having to eat less! I highly recommend Leading Edge no matter your fitness level.
Katheryn
Committed, compassionate, and an effective communicator- these are just some of the qualities Kern has exhibited throughout our journey together and exactly why I chose him as my coach. With his proactive nature, he meets me right where I need him to every time. I can fail on myself time and time again, but he never does. He’s there to remind me of my goals and efforts to refocus my energy and get me through my physical and mental hurdles. More than a coach, he’s a true friend.
Michael

Some Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) on Mobility

Mobility is the ability of a joint to move actively through its full range of motion.
Yes stretching can improve mobility if inflexibility is what is inhibiting your mobility. If a joints range of motion is limited, stretching is needed to improve the range of motion at that joint. Once the joints range of motion is improved, you then need to train mobility to be strong and stable in that range of motion.

You can start with some basic body weight stretches to improve your mobility at your major joints. Some more well-known stretches include: wall angels, pigeon pose, lizard pose with spinal rotation and combat stretch

You should train mobility consistently because we are always working against life-style habits that typically involve sitting for long hours each day. This habit causes lots of tightness, restriction and compensations to develop in the body. Consistent mobility training is needed to undue these issues and retrain the body how to move correctly. You should aim to do at least 10-15 reps on each exercise or hold each pose for at least 30 seconds at a time.

Yes your mobility can be improved at any age and it will greatly improve your quality of life. The key is consistency.

Some Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) on Flexibility

A full-body ballistic and static stretch is both necessary and effective at not just improving flexibility, but also mobility, range of motion, and posture. Stretching also helps alleviate common back, hips, and knee pain that stems from tightness in the surrounding muscles and ligaments.

To start stretching begin with a ballistic warm-up of the body. These are stretches that involve continuous movement. Examples include standing leg swings, standing cross-body crunch, arm circles, and chest huggers. At the end of your workout, you should finish with a static stretch, which involves extending the targeted muscle group to its maximal point and holding it for at least 30 seconds.  There are two types of static stretching: active and passive. Active stretching is when the individual performing the stretch applies added force to deepen the stretch. Passive stretching is when an added force is applied by an external force, which is performed through partner-assisted stretching. You should spend on average 10 minutes or more doing both active and static stretching every day to improve your mobility, flexibility, range of motion, and posture.

To see the most improvement in your flexibility you should spend at least 10 minutes stretching every day. Spend at least 5 minutes doing ballistic stretches before your workout and at least 5-10 minutes doing static stretching after your workout.

Just like you can improve strength at any age, you can also increase flexibility. Flexibility becomes increasingly important with age as you become more susceptible to falls and injury. A little bit of consistent stretching will go a long way in improving your mobility, range of motion, flexibility, and posture. In return, you will experience less back, knee, and hip pain and will be less at risk for falling and becoming injured.

You should absolutely stretch every day to establish a consistent routine. Just like with any exercise it takes time and consistency to see results. The more consistent you are the more progress you will make!

You can stretch at any time of the day. Stretching before bed is a good habit to start as it’s a great way to unwind from your day. When you have an established time you stretch each day you’re more likely to stick to it. Static stretching is the best type of stretch to do before bed.
