[Workout Wednesday] 5 Minute Flow

This week's workout of the week is comin' at ya' from Badlands National Park in South Dakota.

I've been in the car a lot for the past two days, so what better time to do some stretching and mobility than on a scenic pit stop?  ​ ​

Time lapsed - 5 minute flow

How often do you stretch or work on mobility; proper movement and full range of motion of joints? Most of us do this just before a workout or not at all.  Unfortunately, the longer you stay in the same position, the more likely you are to create tightnesses, weaknesses, and lose range of motion in joints. 

In order to keep your body moving well and to reduce the chance of injury, I highly recommend that you start adding in some stretching and mobility drills into your daily routine.  Maybe it's in the morning, maybe it's in the middle of the work day.  Maybe you set a reminder when sitting a lot, to get up every couple of hours and get those joints moving.  

Fitness professional, Max Shank, coined the term "5 Minute Flow" and says that it will literally change your life.  Check it out his video below and start incorporating flows into your daily life!  You won't regret it. ​
