You’ve got to get tight to get loose….
What do I mean about that?
Well I’ll happily tell you in just a moment; first though a friendly reminder for our workout in support of Austin Pet’s Alive.
It is Saturday May 20th at 10AM.

Anyone can attend – even non studio members – and I will be donating money for everyone to attends to APA.
Now back to the topic at hand.
Getting tight to get more flexibility.
What we like to take advantage of is something called reciprocal inhibition.
What this fancy word means is that when a muscle on the body contracts the muscle(s) on the other side of the body have to relax and lengthen in order to accommodate.
For example if you flex your bicep your tricep has to lengthen and relax and when you flex your tricep your bicep has to lengthen and relax.
In a similar manner we do tons of ab work because the lower back has to loosen up to accommodate.
We do tons of glute work because the hip flexors have to lengthen and relax to accommodate.
Finally we do tons of mid-back work because it helps the chest and front shoulders lengthen and relax.
Compare this to trying to stretch everything out…
Give this a shot and I know it will work for you too.
Isn’t science cool?
Awesome!
And one more time; our workout in support of APA is at 10AM on Saturday May 20th.
