Hi everybody!

If my thread is not in the right subforum or it’s a too basic question that doesn’t belong here, then pls delete it.

I just registered to the site, so pretty much newbie here. Especially in mobility. I wasn’t sure if I should ask or just start it somewhere this called mobility “thing”. My mother tongue is not the english, so feel free to correct me if I write something incorrectly.

As you can see, my question is pretty simple and obvious, but dont know the exact answer, yet. The main problem is, that I was/am pretty stiff (dont know which is the exact term for this phenomenon, maybe tightness) in my motions, so my range of motions is pretty limited. I neved could touch my toes (I still need approximately 15-20 cm to get there), but thats only one thing. I think you get the point, too much sitting at the computer, too little stretching in my entire life (I am 27 now, played soccer until I was 22, but had everytime problems with mobility), too little seriousness in this topic.

I’ve never had some big injury or something serious from this point of view – maybe I just had luck my entire life – but thats not an insurance that I wont have in my next years. And that’s the reason why I’m now so serious about that. Like my question in the title says: dont know where to start. I just started to read Kelly’s book and subscribed to this site. But I’m still confused, there is so much value in this videos and articles, and dont know which has more priorities and which has less – for a beginner of course. I’m reading the book, but the process of the interpretation is pretty slow, because for me there is still many new things in the (english) terminology of mobility (I have to translate all the tiles of the body from english in my mother tongue lol). I dont want to find a shortcut or something like that, i know that this will be a long process, and it needs time.

I would appreciate if you guys/girls would help me through this big jungle of mobility. For me its a big help if you could say just the right direction where should I go, with which should I start. If I get the right direction, i’ll make the job which is needed – that doesn’t mean that i wont have more questions. Moreover, I will have much more questions after that. 🙂

Should I start with the book only? Should I start with the videos? Should I start with my weaknesses? Should I just start making random mobility exercises day by day? Oh no. I think you unterstand me why am I so confused.

If you have something good advice for me, just write it down. It will help me a lot.
