Hello everyone welcome to Fitbody Happy Joints. My name is Shannon. Today is the final installment of the best of episode series that I've been doing. I've had so much fun with these and I could probably keep going I had like four more episodes that I

wanted to do in this series but I think it's time to move on so this is going to be the

last one that I release and I've got some fun guests coming up that I'm

0:22.2

excited about.

0:23.8

release on Thursday, and I was using the podcast notes

from episode number four called Why I Don't Stretch.

1:46.0

time I recorded this podcast. We'll talk about why I don't stretch for tightness. I'll go into what I think is more beneficial for mobility. for
