In the Flexibility component of your workout, Keighty will take you through some fundamental, dynamic track and field exercises. Breath into each stretch and take time to appreciate moments of manual massage; these additions to your practice will increase your range of motion and improve your experience of many other static and dynamic movements, from working at a desk, throwing a football, or strepping more comfortably into a lunge.

Modify these movements as needed; flexibility is all about finding what feels good for your own body.
