Progression is the name of the game when it comes to any form of training.

This is just as true in flexibility as it is elsewhere.

It tends to be fairly easy to grasp here. Go less deep into a stretch and it’s easier. Go further into a stretch and it’s harder.

Simple, right?

Yep, so let’s not over complicate things!

Of course, just like you can’t always add or subtract weight with every exercise, every stretch isn’t always so simple.

There are some cases where you need to modify how a stretch is done, or even sub out one for another.

My friend Logan Christopher’s new program, 7 Minute Flexibility, is designed around just 12 stretches (with two of them being unilateral so being done to each side, therefore a total of 14 positions):

-> 7 Minute Flexibility

There are 100’s of possible stretches, but he chose these 12 because they cover just about every area of the body.

Sometimes you need to change your position to hit the same area. In other words there are modifications.

Is a gymnast bridge way beyond your ability? Do the cobra instead. It’s not a perfect match up but it certainly focuses on the spinal flexibility needed.

The cool thing about it is all the progressions and regressions from the course.

Just understand that it is always about this...progression.

And with 7 Minute Flexibility it is built around the idea of use it or lose it. The good news is with just a bit more practice you can also improve it.
