Mobility exercises done wrong will lead to injury rather than increase flexibility. Check out this hamstring stretch. In the first one the leg is completely straight. In the second, the knee is slightly bent and the hamstring stretch is a lot more intense. Why is this an issue? Well, imagine if you were overextending your knee every time you stretched. What if overlooking this small detail caused you to be having knee problems in a year's time? That's cause for paying attention. – Tom Morrison
