Why Is Flexibility Often Overlooked in Fitness Assessments?

Flexibility is often overlooked when we talk about fitness for a few reasons:

  • Looks Matter: A lot of people pay more attention to things like how strong they are and how long they can exercise. These often connect more to how we look and perform.

  • Not Seeing the Value: Some people think flexibility is just for warming up or stretching after a workout. They don't see it as an important part of being fit.

  • Hard to Measure: It's tough to check how flexible someone is. Flexibility is different for everyone, which makes it hard to compare using the same tests.

  • Ignoring the Benefits: Many people don’t know that being flexible can make you perform better and help you avoid injuries.

If we start including flexibility checks more often, we can help everyone have a balanced fitness routine.
