Mobility is freedom

Most people don't realize how important mobility is until they start losing it.

Maybe it's bending down to tie your shoes.
Reaching overhead.
Turning your head while driving.
Or simply getting up from the floor.

We often think of mobility as something athletes work on. But if we practice it regularly, we gain a lot, too: The freedom to move comfortably through daily life.
The freedom to participate in sports and activities you enjoy.
The freedom to keep doing the things that matter to you as you get older.

Maintenance through motion
Your joints and tissues adapt to how you use them.
If you regularly move through a variety of positions, your body tends to maintain that ability.
But if you don't regularly move through these positions, your body gradually loses the ability to do so.
Movement becomes more restricted, stiffness can build up, and you're more likely to experience aches, pains, or injuries.

The good news:
Improving mobility doesn't have to be complicated.
Start with a few simple exercises and do them regularly. As they become easier,
gradually increase your range of motion and introduce new movements.
Small improvements add up surprisingly quickly.

Just a few minutes of intentional movement each day can help maintain and improve mobility over time.

And this is your start
. Try to set aside 5–10 minutes each day this week to work through the following exercises in the video below:

Deep Squat Hold

• Jefferson curls

• World's Greatest Stretch

• Cat-Cow

• Wall slides

Move slowly and breathe normally.

“An inch of action is better than a mile of intentions.”
