This program is Female focused on Hips & Legs to try and support the knees and build strength with upper body strength work but not a specific focus as this beginner program is to learn movement patterns and maintain lower limbs.
There is a Yoga component that I believe "Everyone" should participate in, and is a main focus for the male based programs as well. You may be "flexible" but Yoga can teach you to be strong in the end of range and awkward positions.
Workouts and exercises are not always about feeling buggered and crawling out of the gym. There is always an emphasis on how, what and why.
If anything is giving you pain, please stop doing that movement immediately. If it is low level pain then reduce the movement range slightly to discomfort but don't work to pain.

Agile 8 v2.0
Joe Defranco originally designed a lower body warm up procedure, but here we have updated a version 2.0 for the full body warm up procedure to mobilise the whole body and ready you for any situation. With this we have a 2 non-negotiable and 6 negotiable movements. The movements we want are - 2 foot/ankle mobility - 3 hip mobility - 1 thoracic mobility - 1 pec mobility - 1 lat mobility My suggestions are as follow #1 non-negotiable Roll bottom of foot with a hard ball #2 Ankle dorsiflexion mobilisation #3 Roll glutes & piriformis with hard ball #4 Barbell smash/roll ADductors or Cossack squat/rocking frog stretch #5 Couch stretch (or similar) focus quad or hip flexor #6 Quadruped thoracic rotation #7 Pec mobilisation with hard ball #8 Dead Hang
