What is flexibility? How is it related to mobility?
In general, flexibility is the ability to move your body into an extended position or range of motion – the splits are a good example. Mobility, however, is better thought of as “flexibility in motion” – high kicks, for example, are related to the splits flexibility, but are not the same, as a person who can do the splits may not be able to kick high Both flexibility and mobility are very very similar. So similar, in fact, that the terms are generally used interchangeably. Just try to think of it this way: flexibility work tends to involve static stretches, and mobility work tends to involve movement through a full range of motion.
