The “band man” physical therapist Dave Schmitz just celebrated his 47th birthday and I thought I’d post one of his videos on flex band stretching.  Did I mention that he can do the front splits?  He’s also very agile and explosive – qualities most people in their forties have lost.

Before doing band training he had some injuries like many of us who do (did) traditional type exercises.  I think you will agree that Dave has pretty decent flexibility.

If you have a lot of stiffness in your hips or legs I would suggest some self massage with the Stick, foam roll and/or tennis ball.  A professional massage that includes some skilled deep tissue work might be even better.

Here’s some lower leg and ankle work that is great for runners.

I can definitely recommend the use of these bands for improved fitness, flexibility and agility.  To purchase bands go to Resistance Band Training or email me for more info.

Get moving!
