The ability to move, and move well, determines the quality of life we get to enjoy, the activities we are able to do, and continue to do. Unfortunately, many people lose their mobility as they get older. This results in having a hard time getting up and down from the floor, in and out of the car or a chair, a loss of balance, and potentially the loss on independence later in life.
But, that all is stuff you probably aren’t worried about right now. After all, you still move well.
Mobility work is one of those things that, if started, you will move well and maintain it much easier than trying to regain it once it’s gone. But, it will also improve things like your golf and tennis game. It can also reduce aches and pains from sitting at your desk. It can loosen you up after a tough workout. And, it helps prevent that loss in our “step” that tends to happen in our 40’s.
Bottom line is: We all need mobility work, whether it’s in the form of a warm-up or as a stand alone routine. So here is a simple 10-minute Mobility Workout that you can use as a warm-up, on your off days to loosen up and help with recovery, or just after sitting at your desk.
