October Mobility Challenge ResultsFlexibility is one of the 10 General Physical Skills we seek to develop through our strength and conditioning training. However, everyday in class we devote a section of time to developing our mobility. What is the difference between flexibility and mobility? Flexibility is the ability to maximize the range of motion of a joint and/or muscles. Mobility is the ability to move through a functional range of motion while maintaining balance, strength, alignment. These physical traits are equally as important as strength, power, speed, and endurance. However, they're not nearly as much fun to train. No one really likes to do mobility, we'd all rather do they sexy hard stuff. Well, mobility matters. Improved movement will increase your performance, help manage risk, reduce injuries and make you more durable as you age. We started our Mobility Challenge with an average gym score of 71 and we dropped 2 points by the end. I'm sorry to report that the make average score dropped by 4 points which dropped the gym average. Unfortunately, the men in our gym are on a downward trend. Come on fellas! We need you to step-up your mobility training! Here are the individual winners: Debbie had the highest GOWOD mobilization time. She put in the most work and it's reflected in her improvement. She scored 19 points higher on her reassessment. In second place is Elisa with an 18 point improvement. Tied for third place is Linda and Char who both had impressive 15 point improvements. Nice job ladies! The top place man was Craig with a 17 point improvement, Colter and Robbie tied for second place with an 11 point improvement. Duane had a 9 point improvement which is good enough for third place. Way to go fellas! What did you think of our October Mobility Challenge? Did you like it?
