9 stretches you should know

Flexibility is very often forgotten as one of the 10 components of physical fitness. It’s probably because there are no AMRAPs that say do as many splits or high leg kicks as possible in 5 minutes! However a lack of flexibility can result in a loss of performance. For example, if you lack flexibility in your lats, you may find it difficult to maintain a front rack position for your clean and jerk, thruster or front squat.  Here are several basic stretches thanks to MobilityWOD you should know and can do on your own time or after a WOD. Click on the picture to go to the video demonstrating each movement or go to Mobility WOD for even more ideas for stretches that can be done post wod.
