313: The Mobility Method | Find Freedom in Your Body

Your tight hamstrings, stiff hips, and locked up spine are not going to find freedom on their own—you have to train for mobility. When your body is tight, it affects everything, from your standing and sitting posture to your stride, but when you increase your range of motion, it feels as if you've added an extra room onto your home. Flexible bodies feel free, youthful, and energized. However, getting started with training can be frustrating.

On this week's show, you'll meet physical therapist Jen Esquer, who will share her whole-body, 24-hour approach to movement freedom.

Listen & Learn:

• How to sprinkle mobility training throughout the day rather than trying to fit in one monster session of stretching
• Why consistency is so important for mobility training (and the weekend warrior mentality doesn't work)
• Why it's crucial to have a healthy range of motion in poses such as squats, backbends, and hip flexion movements
