Our mission has always been to help people move, feel, and perform at their best. As we roll out updates to our program, we want to share brief insights into the why behind the changes. Each week, I'll highlight a different program component to help everyone better understand how it supports progress and overall well-being.

This week we're starting with the "Feel Better" section, which is our mobility work at the beginning of each session.

What is the Feel Better Section?

The Feel Better portion is the mobility section of your workout. Before diving deeper, let’s first distinguish between two important terms: flexibility and mobility.

Mobility vs. Flexibility - What's the Difference?

• Flexibility is the ability to be moved through a range of motion by an external force (like a trainer or stretch strap).
• Mobility is the ability to actively move through a range of motion using your own internal force. No assistance required!

Does Mobility Really Matter?

Mobility is the foundation of effective movement. It prepares your joints for activity, supports better movement patterns, provides healthy nutrients to the joints, and can even help improve range of motion over time.

As we age, joints can stiffen, recovery slower, and everyday movements can become more difficult. Mobility work is one of the most effective ways to counteract those changes by improving circulation, supporting joint health, and mitigating pain/stiffness from issues like arthritis. Everyone benefits from conducting mobility activities! As we like to say, motion is lotion for the joints!

Right now, we’re focusing on foundational mobility movements to build a solid base. In the coming weeks, we’ll begin progressing these exercises to address efficient and effective movement.
