Beginners Joint programme

Hi All

I have been lurking on the forum for months and I own the gymnastic bodies book. I am primarily a practictioner of yoga and a rock climber but would like to add gymnastic training (joint work and flexibility work especially) to my programme. I am a little overwhelmed and cannot find anything that I should be starting with. Can anyone advise? Your help would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Can anyone help, a pointer of any kind is much appreciated. Wasn't coach going to release a book on this subject?

PG 175 or killroy70 program

Or are you just looking for a mobility and flexibility program?

Mainly flexibility and mobility at this stage, but thanks for pointing out those general programs as I intend to start something like that once I have worked out a few issues with mobility and flexibility. Apart from flexibility program, where is the info on those programmes to be had?

Thanks

1 minute sleeper stretch (each arm)

2 minute back arch up stretch

I made it for myself, so there are things I do in it that only I would kind of understand at first; however, I will try to explain what some of the things are and it will be a good base stretching routine at any rate.

I also do Ido's Squat Clinic daily as well as both of his shoulder and scapula routines. PNF stretching + full ROM strength training, too.
