Hi there! I’m Hypermobile and would like to know if I can adjust these exercises to better suit a body that overextends joints easily?

This is Chrys, one of the trainers at Hybrid. Yes, you can adjust them. I’d start with easier variations and move slowly through a range you can control. Try not to let your elbows or knees drift past straight, and don’t force extra depth just because your joints will go there. That applies to twists and bridges too. If your joints hurt, give way, or repeatedly slip out of place, get a physio familiar with hypermobility to assess that before pushing the exercises harder.
