Mobility & Flexibility

Graham Ambrose and Angus Warburton
About this episode

Graham & Angus discuss the difference between mobility and flexibility. Mobility is especially important prior to a training session.

Graham used to static stretch before running - which is counter-productive, but now mobilises before lifting. Graham also investigates the fascia, a vital organ in the body which many do not even know about, let alone, appreciate how to use its incredible structure.
