STRETCHING for flexibility & mobility ...
As a retired pro gymnast I'm the biggest fan of stretching and I practice it a couple times a week 😉 ( almost 45 and I still can do split but I'm not gonna lie, it's getting harder year by year )
Mobility vs. flexibility: What's the difference?
An easy way to remember the difference is that mobility is active, while flexibility is passive. Think of it this way: If flexibility is about how far you can stretch (like being able to do the splits), mobility is about how well you can move and control your body through that stretch (like standing and lifting your leg as high as you can or doing a split jump ). Both are super important, but they serve different purposes in keeping your body happy and healthy.
