We've dedicated the month of March to mobility at Fit + Strong, and today we're building on last week's How to Foam Roll Your Upper Body  episode.

Some of you may know that in October I over-trained and hurt my back.  Man, I was in pain!  So I decided I was going to do something about it . For one month I committed to stretching 20 minutes every day. It helped loosen my body more than I ever thought  possible in 30 days. It was so amazing!

This experience really changed the importance that I place on mobility (of the joints) and flexibility (of the muscles). As a fitness professional, instructor, and trainer for the last 16 years I've preached to clients, "flexibility is so important, mobility is so powerful, don't you dare skip it!"

Now that I'm in my mid-forties, it's not just important. It's VITAL to my health. Mobility and flexibility have become a higher priority for me now than ever before.

That's why we are doing 'March Mobility' this entire...
