Sit and Reach Test | Why flexibility is so important for Calisthenics
Channel: Termar Lawton
Date: 2018-10-08

What's going on my fellow Elegant Savages, in today's video we will be going over not only how you can perform the sit and reach test; but also why it is so important that you constantly improve your flexibility if your training mostly consists of bodyweight training. 

The sit and reach test is a basic health assessment that you probably undergone as a child. It requires very little equipment and it is used to assess the flexibility in your lower back and hamstrings. 

Flexibility is a necessary component to bodyweight training especially if you plan on working on skills like handstand, planche front lever, etc. Above average flexibility will allow you to perform these movements with perfect form and make some of them easier.
