Episode 541: Mobility vs. Flexibility — What Women Actually Need More Of After 40

from Grace & Grit Podcast · host Grace & Grit LLC

Most women in midlife are focusing on flexibility — holding stretches, hoping to undo the tightness that's crept in. But flexibility is actually the smaller piece of the puzzle. What your body is asking for, especially after forty, is mobility. And those two things are not the same. Flexibility is passive — mobility is active, and after 40, that distinction can be the difference between staying resilient and getting injured. Courtney breaks down why collagen loss and joint changes in midlife make mobility training non-negotiable, backed by research, and gives you five specific exercises to start training your nervous system to own your full range of motion.
