Molding Mobility
Once a week, you should perform a session for a number of reps equal to your age.
Starting Stretching
This program is intended to go hand-in-hand with Molding Mobility. These stretches are to be performed in succession after every single workout. This should take only 20-30 minutes. It is recommended, however, to do them every single day. If you have time, repeating the stretches 2-3 times is also recommended.

What is Flexibility & Mobility?
The Flexibility & Mobility program is built for people who sit a lot, run a lot, or lift a lot — anyone whose daily life leaves them stiff, achy, or mobility-limited.
Each session is 15–20 minutes and targets specific areas: hip openers, shoulder mobility, thoracic spine, ankle dorsiflexion, hamstring length, and full-body flows. You can run it as a standalone program or plug it in as a daily warm-up / cool-down for strength training.
Unlike random YouTube stretching videos, this program progresses. Simple holds become flow sequences. Passive stretches become active end-range control work. Over 8–12 weeks you'll see measurable range-of-motion improvements.
Best For
- + Desk workers with tight hips
- + Runners and cyclists with chronic tightness
- + Lifters needing active recovery days
- + Anyone over 30 feeling stiff
Not For
- − People looking for high-intensity training
- − Strength-first trainees (use as supplement, not primary)
How to Progress
Passive holds progress to active end-range work, then to flow sequences chaining multiple positions. Focus on breath + control, not depth.
Pros
- + Short sessions (15–20 min)
- + No equipment required
- + Great pair-up with any strength program
- + Measurable progress in 4–8 weeks
Cons
- − No strength or cardio adaptation
- − Requires daily consistency to see results
Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I do mobility work?
Ideally daily, even just 5–10 minutes. 3 sessions per week will still produce results but slower. Consistency beats duration.
Can I do this before lifting?
Yes — use it as a targeted warm-up. Prioritise active movement (CARs, dynamic stretches) over long static holds pre-workout.
How long until I see flexibility gains?
Most people notice improved end-of-day tightness within 2 weeks. Measurable range-of-motion increases (e.g., deeper squat, front splits progress) usually show at 6–12 weeks.
Will this help my squat / pull-up / deadlift form?
Yes. Hip mobility directly improves squat depth. Shoulder mobility helps overhead press and pull-up positioning. Thoracic spine mobility helps every compound lift.
