Saturday's Stretch/Flexibility -- How to Test & Improve Flexibility

Today's video comes from Dena Maddie at Today I Will Be Fit.  It's also part of the Psychetruth channel on YouTube.


In this video, she demonstrates how you can easily test the flexibility in your chest, shoulders, calves, obliques, lower back, hamstrings inner thighs and hips.  She also provides stretches for each of these areas.

On her website, she provides scores for good (3), fair (2) and poor (1).  Add up your points at the end to see how you are doing--what areas are good, and what areas need improving.  Follow the link provided to see how you rate.

How Flexible ARE you...?

Make sure you are warmed up before doing these tests and stretches.  They can easily be done after a workout, or alone after you've warmed up your muscles for a few minutes.
