Sitting down all day, every day got the better of your body? That’s exactly why Personal Training duo, Milad and Ryan, founders of Tailored Fit PT, created this seven-minute mobility routine. They say it can “erase hours of damage done to your hips, back and shoulders”, while also helping you squat deeper and lift heavy objects more safely. Essentially, it helps you move better with less pain and, best of all, it’s entirely bodyweight-based.
Our mobility naturally declines as we age due to a decrease in muscle mass and bone density, but sitting for long periods of time can exacerbate this, by weakening our muscles and stiffening our joints. The British Safety Council emphasises the importance of movement, saying: “Taking regular breaks throughout the workday is essential for incorporating movement and combating the negative effects of prolonged sitting.” That’s why mobility routines, like these, are so beneficial – they're not only effective, but also short enough to slot easily into your day.
