C: Bonus Super Set

Will all of this resistance training make me less flexible?

Research shows that the answer is no. A recent study tracked flexibility for three groups over a period of time. Each group was given a specific training protocol.

  • A: Static stretching only
  • B: Static Stretching + Resistance training
  • C: Resistance Training Only

Guess which group improved flexibility the least? Group A, the static stretching only group! The research showed that the best way to improve flexibility and strength (otherwise known as mobility) is a combo of movements.

Ready for more challenge?

Loop a resistance band around your foot. Ensure that there is tension on the band even when you are bent forward.
