Flexibility

Static vs. Ballistic stretching - Ballistic stretching is when you stretch out of your comfort zone for a few seconds, and then repeat this motion repeatedly, each time getting farther. Static stretching is the same concept, except you hold the stretch for 20-30 seconds. Both of these types of stretching are important, as they help increase your range of motion and flexibility.

Joint variations - Flexibility is very dependent on which joint it is concerning. Certain joints are more flexible, or capable of being more flexible, than other joints.
