4 Mobility Drills Everyone Needs
Everyone talks about mobility on the fitness space.
But what does “being mobile” really mean
And how do you actually go about improving your mobility?
Well, most people start with a few stretches…
…And this is a great start, but will only get you so far.
Then we move onto everyones favorite tool - the Foam Roller.
(Or maybe your one of those cool kids with the massage gun)
These go a step further than stretching, but still have one limitation.
True mobility is about achieving a range of motion.
And the missing component for many people is actually strengthening your stabilising muscles.
Here are 4 of our favourite exercises you can start doing with your Bandz to stretch yourself & get stronger:
#1 - Front Pull Aparts
These are great for activating the stabilizing muscles in your back & shoulders.
By engaging them you allow a full range-of-motion in your shoulder joints, especially great for anyone hunched over at a computer for hours a day!
#2 Should Flexion
Again another great variation for adding stability to the shoulders.
If you’re trying to improve any sort of overhead lift, from a military press to an overhead squat or snatch, then this exercise is a must.
#3 Lateral Walks
Engaging our glutes is essential to keeping a great posture and range-of-motion in our hips.
We often associate hip pain with a lack of flexibility, but a lack of strength in our glutes is another major factor
#4 Knee Stabilizers
Resistance band exercises are a great way to train stability of certain joints and add some isometric tension.
This exercise will help you add stability to your knee joints and prevent many injuries that occur from sport.
