Effective, but requires "want to" and -realistically- equipment
I've made a fairly serious effort at following Scott's program for about six weeks now as I let a hip ailment mend. I appreciate the variety of the prescribed stretches and exercises and have made the morning mobility routine a regular part of my day. I feel that my flexibility and mobility have both improved in that time. That said, implementing this program is no easy effort. You will need a variety of equipment at your disposal. He offers some ideas on getting by with less, but in my experience you just need the equipment or access to a reasonably well-equipped gym. A weight bench, dumbbells, elastic bands, kettlebells, Swiss ball, pull-up stand or rack, and maybe a suspension trainer gets you in the game. Beyond that the challenge is the daily TIME required to follow the program. The morning mobility routine takes me approximately 20-25 minutes-not bad considering the benefit. The workouts themselves take longer as they have several dynamic warmup exercise sets prior to the exercise portion of, again, several sets. All good, but working all that into your every day schedule requires that you place a high priority on the effort. Overall, yes, it's a good program for joint/flexibility/mobility focus, but having a PT professional assist and coach you is probably advised for most people. My background is 30+ years of various workout and physical training programs. I have my own well-equipped 1200 sq' gym. Good luck and keep moving!
