Is JOINT VENTURES a Good Workout? 

Gaining increased mobility in a class like Joint Ventures can help improve strength, stamina, and flexibility, resulting in overall athleticism! 

• Strength. Increased mobility strengthens muscles and ligaments that support the joints, which allows you to bear load more readily throughout the movement, leading to more growth and results. 

• Increased Stamina. Mobility optimizes efficiency, allowing increased range of motion through joints and their associated muscles. Having joints that move without strain allows you to work harder without overcompensating. 

• Flexibility. Better range of motion allows you to move without strain or additional force on your body  

• Productive Recovery. Low-intensity exercises help your body heal from other high-intensity forms of training and will add variety to your regular workout routine. 

• Reduced Risk of Injury. Ever throw out your back when picking up a piece of paper? Mobility helps reduce the risk of injury from everyday activities. 

• Feel-Good Factor. Working on mobility just flat out feels great in your body, promoting stress relief and more positive associations with exercise, which will allow you to stick with training that much longer
