FREE Beyond 40 Flexibility Intro
Start reducing the aches, pains and stiffness that creep up you in midlife.
Welcome to the Beyond 40 Flexibility Intro Program, designed to improve your flexibility while reducing the aches, pains and stiffness that often creep up on you in midlife.
It’s never too late to increase flexibility.
We’ve worked with hundreds of clients of all ages to help them reduce joint and muscle pain, increase their range of motion, improve movement quality, and enhance their day-to-day performance by training flexibility.
Unfortunately, modern sedentary lifestyles are linked to physical and mental health issues: sore knees, hip pain, lower back pain, and neck, shoulder, elbow and wrist pain are often caused by structural imbalances of the muscles.
Tight, weak, overused muscles, and underused muscles can affect the alignment of the joints and our posture, which can lead to chronic pain.
What are the goals of the B40 Flexibility Intro Program?
The Beyond 40 Flexibility Intro Program is designed to improve your flexibility while reducing the aches, pains and stiffness that often creep up on you in midlife.
As we age, we start to value our health, happiness and longevity even more. We want to stay pain-free and independent for as long as possible.
Training flexibility is a lot like building strength and improving aerobic fitness. Consistency is key.
It’s all about building the right habits.
This is where it helps to have a program to follow.
The goal is to build a flexibility practice into your lifestyle and reap the rewards.
The Beyond 40 Flexibility Intro Program
The Beyond 40 Flexibility Into has been designed to target some of the most common tight and stiff areas in midlife - hips, shoulders, ankles and spine.
There are three separate sessions:
Session 1: Lower Body:
This session targets the feet, ankles, hips, inner thigh, glutes, quads and hamstrings.
Session 2: Upper Body:
This session targets the shoulder external rotators, chest, biceps, lats, wrists, triceps, and shoulders.
Session 3: Spine:
An old Chinese proverb says, “You are as old as your spine.” A supple spine that moves freely in all directions helps us feel much younger. In this session, you will work on forward flexion, extension, rotation, lateral flexion, and stretching the diaphragm muscle.
The goal is to perform each session once weekly for at least 6 weeks.

What are the commitment levels?
3 x 20-30min sessions per week
Every session will leave you feeling more supple, but for lasting results, we recommend sticking to the program for a minimum of 6 weeks.
Can I combine handstand training with my other training sessions?
Yes. We recommend doing strength training to help support your flexibility journey. You can also do yoga, gym classes, spin, or go for a run. We see this program as an add-on to your existing training.
Can I do the sessions more than once per week?
Yes. It’s best to start with doing each session once weekly and then increase it to two if you like. For some people, this will speed up the results, but you will also make good progress by just doing each session once per week.
When we increase the frequency, we can sometimes apply too much stress to the joints, muscles and connective tissues. This can lead to pain or even injury. So take it slow and listen to your body.
Can I use a phase for more than six weeks?
You certainly can. Spending more time on a flexibility phase can be helpful.
What if I cannot do one of the exercises?
Never try to push through pain. Often there are ways to regress certain movements by using different tools, like yoga block, to assist the stretch. See if you can support some of your weight through another part of your body to decrease the level of intensity on the muscle being stretched.
Flexibility or strength limitations can often stop us from performing specific movements. Try to figure out what’s holding you back. If it's strength, how can you build more strength in this area? If it's flexibility, what stretches can you train to increase flexibility? Check out The Sustainable Training Method YouTube channel for ideas.
