Mindset matters when it comes to flexibility training.

Published: Apr 14, 2023 What you expect matters. A lack of belief in your ability to achieve your flexibility goal will hold you back.

Undoubtedly s*x hormones estrogen and progesterone impact the tissue extensibility of those who menstruate or have ceased menstruation. However, the impact of the menstrual cycle on a person’s flexibility is unique. Flexibility is so much more than just the range available to a joint/ extensibility of tissue, and other biological and psychosocial factors can play a more significant role in a person’s flexibility.

https://www.airspaceperth.com.au/blog/does-the-menstrual-cycle-influence-flexibility

Published: Apr 28, 2022 For most people, prioritising consistent, goal-specific flexibility training will impact flexibility more than their cycle.

With more people needing to isolate as close Covid -19 contacts, I am hearing more insta- coaches decree that ISO is no excuse to lose training gains. While I endorse maintaining your training routine, if you can, this sentiment screams of Kim Kardashian-esq privilege and lack of insight.

If you can practically continue training in ISO (e.g. you have time available after keeping yourself alive, working from home, homeschooling, caring duties etc.), it's important to be realistic and kind to yourself. You won't come out of isolation more flexible than when you went in no matter how hard you work. A week or two is nothing in your flexibility journey. If you can train, aim to maintain, be consistent and stay injury-free. And remember you don't have to earn the right to rest.

If you notice an increase in pain sensitivity and reduced pain tolerance:

-Rest for a couple of days, especially if you feel unwell.
-Prioritise nutrition, hydration, sleep and self-care.
-Actively practice stress management techniques that work for you.
-Develop a routine.
-Stay connected.
-Engage in pleasurable activities
-Move-in meaningful ways when you feel well enough.

It can feel awful when you challenge yourself training flexibility. It’s common to have sessions where you feel disheartened, hopeless, and think you will never improve. This usually isnt the reality, and is the perfect time to use photos as evidence of your progress.
