What this episode covers

I've talked about this many times. Stretching isn't doing what you think it is. I used to be a believer in stretching. In fact, I used to immediately bend over and reach for my toes, immediately after a run. It wasn't until I started looking into what stretching ACTUALLY does to the body that I decided to discontinue it. Learn why stretching the way you've been stretching may be doing more harm than good and find out the most effective way to improve your mobility in this episode.
