Focus on Body Flexibility
The value of a fitness assessment with a certified personal trainer is to assess dynamic flexibility. Assessing joint movement, muscle activation, and overall neuromuscular control with transitional movement can identify potential elevated risk of injury. Additional factors that impact flexibility include diet, sleep, stress, and medical or injury history.
Training the nervous system efficiently ensures proper development of movement patterns to decrease risk of injury.
GIG Design’s Movement Catalog is categorized by types of movement: balance, coordination, and endurance. Flexibility is one of the three goals each movement is tagged by, as well as fitness level, type of intensity, which body region it’s primarily targeting, and tools or equipment that may be optional or required. Select this link for category and tag definitions within our movement catalog.
One way you might use this catalog is for your current fitness level to guide choosing one to three moves that diversely incorporate each body-region. Alternatively, choose three tagged as All for full-body work. Practice based on a set time i.e. 5-minutes to become familiar with the move or as a break in your work day.
