Mobility vs FlexibilityTable
Key distinctions for training order.
| Type | Definition | Best Time |
|---|---|---|
| Mobility | Active range with control | Pre-workout |
| Flexibility | Passive lengthening | Post-workout |
| Stability | Control at end range | Between sets |
Mobility Session FormulaFormula
Daily dose = 5 min dynamic warm-up + 6 min static holds (30-60 sec × 6) + 4 min foam rolling = 15 min minimum effective dose.
Minimum Effective DoseStandard
15 minutes daily mobility equals 60 min once weekly for most desk workers.
Breathe Into Stretch
Exhale during stretch — parasympathetic release deepens range.
Morning vs Evening
Morning: dynamic; evening: static holds for sleep quality.
Don't Stretch Cold
5 min walk before static stretching prevents muscle strain.
Safety Notes
- Hypermobility — avoid pushing past joint end range if ligamentously lax.
- Stop if nerve symptoms (tingling) during stretch.
