Stretch Strong

For stretching programming, this can’t be beat. Some quality of life improvements like watch integration and keeping the screen from locking during a workout session are needed (main reason I didn’t give five stars). I’m happy with this app but I can tell that it can be much better.

I have been using the app nearly daily for the past 7 months and must say it is an excellent tool to make mobility a priority without having to spend the time to develop my own plan. It also includes an incredible catalog of exercises progression to boost the effectiveness no matter what level of mobility you currently have. I wish there was a way to automatically select most intense versions as many weeks I feel like I don’t get enough of a push and changing out every exercise for a higher level is time consuming, but overall I feel like the app does a good job in targeting the whole body’s mobility in effective cycles that keep it interesting. I don’t think it’s intense enough to get you to Juji’s personal flexibility level, but maybe I just need to stick to it a little while longer and ramp up to higher level substitutions more often. Either way, I’d recommend this to anyone trying to learn new ways to mobilize and prioritize developing strength through full range.

I never have had a really regimented stretching routine. Always the basic kind of pike stretch, quad stretch, arm across the chest or over the head and that was about it. I’ve been using the app for about two weeks and I feel so much more limber than I have in years!
