479. Wednesday Q&A: Body Pops, Countering Protraction & Improving Hamstring Flexibility

  • December 1, 2021
Welcome to Wednesday Q&A, where you ask questions and we answer them! In this Wednesday Q&A, we answer your questions about body pops, countering protraction, and improving hamstring flexibility. Your questions:
  • Is it normal to hear your back pop when going into flash dance? 
  • Is squeezing the scaps toward each other an OK way to counter protraction? 
  • Are there any tips or exercises I can do to gain more hamstring flexibility?
      Do you have a question?
