A trainer says this is the one full-body mobility move you shouldn't skip in a warm-up

A mobility warm-up before exercise is a necessity. Why? Because it prepares your muscles and joints for movement, enhances your range of motion and reduces your risk of injury.

While there are many moves you can incorporate into a mobility warm-up, there’s one I always recommend as a certified personal trainer: the world’s greatest stretch. I like to do a fast-paced version with an added plank walk-out to gently raise my heart rate before I exercise.
