Most people don’t actually know what stretching is.

They think it means:
• Sit in a position
• Feel a pull
• Hold it for 30 seconds
• Assume that’s enough

That’s a version of stretching. It’s just a very limited one.

In our world, stretching is a tool. And tools only work if you understand what they’re for.

You can hang out in a position and hope your body adapts.

Or you can treat that position like training. Create tension. Actively pull yourself deeper. Spend time there with intention. Progress it week to week.

One is exposure.
The other is practice under load.

When someone says “stretching doesn’t work,” they’re usually talking about the casual version. No real structure behind it. No progression model. No reason for the body to change.

If you start applying training principles to mobility—effort, dosage, consistency, progression—it stops being random.

Before you write stretching off completely, it’s worth asking:

What exactly are you doing when you say you stretch?

Mobility only works when it becomes training.

If you’re looking for KINSTRETCH in Austin, this is our weekly schedule at Motive Training. Each day has a clear purpose, so you’re not guessing your way into “mobility work” and hoping it sticks.

Weekly schedule.

How to pick your first class.

This is clipped from , our online mobility platform.

If your spine rotation feels stuck, twisting harder usually isn’t the answer.

Rotation in the spine is often a second-order result of segmentation. When you don’t have access to flexion and extension, you’re missing space. When you’re missing space, you’ll “find” rotation by compensating somewhere else.

That’s why we don’t always start by chasing more rotation or lateral motion. We start by owning flexion/extension positions and building segmentation first.

Create space; then rotation shows up cleaner.

Hopefully this helps clean up some ideas around how the spine works. Follow for more mobility training and joint health tips.

Improve shoulder and elbow mobility, reduce pain, and stay on the court longer.

This Saturday at Motive Training, I’m teaching a free KINSTRETCH clinic for pickleball and all paddle sports. Tennis, padel, and racquet athletes who rely on strong, resilient upper bodies will benefit.

We’ll focus specifically on the shoulders and elbows—the joints that take the most stress during swings, reaches, and quick reactions—and show you how to train them with intention using KINSTRETCH principles so your movement actually carries over to play.

This class is for all levels. If you deal with stiffness, nagging aches, or want more confidence and control through your upper body, you’ll get real value from this session.

Bring a mat and water. You’ll leave with tools you can use immediately, on and off the court.

Most people don’t actually finish a step.

When you walk or run, your big toe should be the final point of contact that helps drive your body forward.
When that doesn’t happen, hip extension disappears, the glute stops contributing, and movement turns into shuffling.

This split squat variation slows the process down so you can feel how the big toe, hip, and glute work together to create forward motion.

This is about restoring options, not forcing positions.
It’s one piece of a larger system focused on how you actually move.

Train this properly inside KINSTRETCH Online.

RAILs Is An ISOMETRIC

PAILs and RAILs are about training end range on purpose.
In this clip, hip flexion is pulling the leg closer to the chest, which drives the hamstring deeper into its working range. The front side of the hip turns on, the tailbone stays back, and the position stays anchored.

If the foot lifts, something moved.

That means you’re no longer at end range.

RAILs is an isometric.

Nothing should move unless we intentionally change the goal.

This is pulled directly from our KINSTRETCH Online library, where we break down how to build usable range and control, not just stretch.

A few of our 2026 mobility clinics are live on Eventbrite.

We’re starting the year with focused KINSTRETCH sessions for runners, pickleball players, and anyone in Austin who wants to move with more confidence and less pain. Each clinic breaks down the joints and positions you rely on most so you can train smarter and stay injury-free.

If you want to improve how your body feels, these sessions will help you understand what your joints need and how to train them with purpose.

See all upcoming events and reserve your spot through the link in bio.

I’ll be layering in more events soon. See you in 2026.

Hip Flexion Passive Range Holds

Most people fold their spine when they try to lift their leg, which kills the hip flexion you’re actually trying to train.

In this drill, I walk Shei through a passive range hold for straight-leg hip flexion from a figure-4 setup. The goal is simple: keep the pelvis pulled back, keep the leg locked out, and move your body toward the leg instead of letting the leg cheat its way higher.

It’s harder than it looks, and it teaches real control at the end range.

If you want more of this work, you can join us for KINSTRETCH in Austin or train with me through KINSTRETCH Online.

November KINSTRETCH Schedule at Motive Training ATX

Here’s how we’re structuring classes this month. Each session focuses on a specific joint system, so your training actually leads somewhere—improving mobility, strengthening positions, and increasing control where it matters.

MONDAY — Internal Focus
6:15–7:15 PM with Brian Murray

Train joint positions toward the midline: hips, shoulders, spine, and more. Build end-range strength and deep control where movement begins.

TUESDAY — Functional Fitness Breakdowns
5:30–6:30 PM with Stone Talamantes

Deconstruct classic lifts like squats, lunges, and push-ups into joint-by-joint work. Enhance your strength by targeting the key positions that contribute to it.

WEDNESDAY — External Focus
6:15–7:15 PM with Brian Murray

Shift outward to balance the system—shoulders, hips, and spine. Strengthen your outer ranges and improve total movement capacity.

FRIDAY — Tool-Heavy Class

5:00–6:00 PM with Andres Ubach
Use bands, blocks, and other tools to add smart resistance to your mobility work. Beginner-friendly and easily scaled for more advanced movers.

SUNDAY — Full-Body Integration
10:15–11:15 AM with Brian Cassady

Tie it all together. This session blends spine, hips, shoulders, knees, and feet into full-body coordination and control.
Remember to reserve your spot through Push Press.

First class for KINSTRETCH is always free. Our community is growing, and $99/month for unlimited won’t last much longer.

P.S. don’t forget about KINSTRETCH @ Pinthouse Brewing on November 29th 🍻 (Link In Bio)
