THE #1 SECRET TO STAYING FLEXIBLE
The #1 secret to staying flexible is staying within striking distance. What this means is – touch your end ranges daily or weekly.
I've gone from hours a day of mobility work, to a few minutes/day. For example, I went to the gym recently and did the splits without having trained them directly in 1.5 months.

How is this possible? I always stay within Striking Distance!
This seems simple. So why don't most people do it?
- The splits are hard
- People don't like hard stuff
- They go longer than a few weeks without getting in splits like positions
So, they lose their gains!
The smart man/woman (who's goal is the splits or to be flexible) get's into a "splits like position." AT LEAST once a week. That's the bare minimum.
If you do this, you will maintain your flexibility. If not you will shrivel back up into your old, inflexible self.
The choice is yours! 😜Watch the video for more.
Yours in flexibility,
