Good mobility is key to ensure our body can move well, perform daily tasks and remain pain-free but, as we get older (or if you spend a lot of time sitting down), this can tend to go. Fortunately, you don’t have to carve out chunks of time to start working on yours. Sweat App Trainer, Brittany Williams, has shared a simple six-move routine that will take no longer than six minutes, and all that’s required is your bodyweight and a little space.
According to Williams, this routine is ideal for doing either as a warm-up at the start of your workout to get the body ready for action, or as a simple morning routine before kicking off the day. This makes sense as, the University of Portsmouth Sport says that integrating mobility exercises prior to working out helps your body work towards an optimal range of motion and help prevent injuries that can occur from strenuous training. Plus, we all know that any form of movement is a natural mood booster that can help to get endorphins pumping and blood flowing to your muscles.
