FLEXIBILITY is the ability to maximise the range of motion at a given joint.

It is a KEY component of physical fitness and has many positive effects on the body. For instance, it improves mobility, posture, muscle coordination, performance, reduces the risk of injuries and muscle soreness and most importantly I’m hoping it makes me play better golf!

It’s also something that I largely neglected until I was about 35 years old and Dad life kicked in ha-ha. To be honest I think the main reason I didn't put a large amount of emphasis on it was because I never had too many issues with my flexibility, injuries or chronic pain, the other reason would have to be pure laziness.

It never ceases to amaze me though how many people will put up with constant unnecessary aches, pains and discomfort for such a long time before addressing it. Especially when there are some pretty straight forward and effective ways you can improve it if you’re only willing to invest a little time and effort.

But it’s like that with so many aspects in life right…it’s easy to neglect things until they become a bigger issue.
