Kinstretch Class Flows for Beyond Stretch

Kinstretch Class Flows in Beyond Stretch

Categories Mobility Training by

In the Beyond Stretch Private Mobility Sessions and Classes, we use methodology from FRC / Kinstretch, and Mobility WOD / Ready State to improve flexibility, strengthen end-range of motion, and build resistance to injury. But what does a Beyond Stretch “Flow” look like? Below, we’ve provided many example Beyond Stretch Flows based on Functional Range Conditioning and Kinstretch methodology.

These Kinstretch-based flows are extremely powerful when cued and performed correctly. So enjoy them.

If you want to improve your mobility, you need to work on it a minimum of 2 hours a week. Like anything else from running to powerlifting, you need to put in the work if you want the results.
