Flexibility and Mobility are something that we can always use more of. The meager 10 minutes that we spend of each class working on stretching and mobility just doesn’t cut it. If you want to recover faster, move faster through your WODs, and lift heavier, you best have your mobility in check. If we can’t get into the proper squat position because our hips are tight, I guarantee that your PRs will suffer.
All of that being said, I bring you a fantastic new resource. Kelly Starrett, a doctor of physical therapy, badass whitewater kayaker, and owner of San Francisco CrossFit has started a new blog called Mobility WOD. Kelly is a constant source of knowledge for all of the WCCF coaches, and where a lot of the flexibility moves you see every day in the gym come from. In other words, if you like what we do in the gym, you should listen to this guy, he knows his stuff!
I hope you all enjoy it. I am keeping my eyes peeled on it.
