Features & Benefits

One of the fitness industry standard tests is called the sit and reach or trunk flexibility tester and it is measured on the Flex Tester. This all steel constructed tester will last you for years in a commercial or residential environment. Possibly one of the easiest fitness test to administer, all you do is literally sit and reach. A foot plate gives you a secure pad for your feet to rest while gently reaching the arms to full extension.

This test is critical because of the number of problems related with the lower back and joints can be traced to lack of flexibility. If you are able to ascertain early on that a problem is developing you can create a program which will focus on increasing range of motion.

More Info

You want to stretch post warming up. The muscles will not be loose and prepared for a stretch if they are cold. If you do yoga you know that the first poses are nowhere near as deep as the poses towards the end of the practice, that's why Sun Salutations come prior to seated forehead to knee pose.

You can warm up on the treadmill for 5 minutes or anything that gets you moving. When you strecth, perform slow gentle movements that have no forceful bouncing movements and hold for 30 to 60 seconds.
