GOWOD flexibility and mobility app review - Looking to stay flexy like Phil!

[TBS]

One of my personal fitness goals for 2021 was to increase my range of motion and improve my mobility. I came across this app (GOWOD) that is targeted at Crossfit athletes but I thought I would try it. I'm coming up on 6 months of doing it fairly regularly and thought you all might enjoy a full write up review on it.

 

What would be most helpful for me to include in the review?

Club head speed before and after or any exercises that measure power output like jumps or throws. Basically any data you gathered before starting that you could compare with after the training like: ranges of motion for knee past toes for ankle dorsiflexion, seated or standing reach past toes to measure posterior chain, can you link your hands behind your back, etc. 

Other than that, something about scoring or handicap to show improvements there would be helpful provided it could be isolated from lessons/technique or club fitting contributing to the improvements. 

Not sure how many people are looking for subjective scores on your wellbeing or general fitness levels...

May try the Intro stuff .. see how it goes .. I am into at least maintaining my flexibility and general RoM .. do some stretching and basic yoga-like moves almost every morning.

However - I'm not all inked up ... Will I still see some benefits?

Likely... unless you you are trying to impress someone.

I've heard the ink helps. Should I ask my wife first or just surprise her?

If there are paid elements, have you tried them and are they worth the money?

There is a premium subscription that I’ve been using. I’ll get into the details of the differences between the two options and share my thoughts on if it’s worth it when I do the write up. Good question.
