What is the starting springload for Flexibility?

• A. About 0.5 springs.
• B. About 2 springs.
• C. About 1.5 springs.
• D. About 3 springs.

Answer: (C)

Starting springload for Flexibility is about finding the right balance between resistance and range of motion. About 1.5 springs provides enough tension to cue proper alignment and engage the supporting muscles, while still allowing a full, controlled stretch without forcing the joints or compromising breath and form. If the load were too light (around half a spring), you’d miss important proprioceptive feedback and stabilization cues. If it were much heavier (two or more springs), the movement could become restricted, unsafe, or uncomfortable, making it hard to extend and lengthen effectively. As you gain mobility, you can progressively increase the spring load while maintaining control and proper technique.
