5 Benefits of Mobility Exercises

Описание: Mobility is the ability to control movement all of the way through a joint’s range-of-motion and is an important component of a workout program.


Mobility exercises should be a key part of your workout program, as part of a dynamic warm-up, cool down or stand alone workout the day after a really hard fitness session could help to slow down the effects of the aging process.


Here are 5 important benefits of mobility exercises:


1. Optimal tissue extensibility - the ability of muscles and fascia to lengthen and shorten in order to control how mechanical forces move through the body.


2. Enhancing and maintaining joint range-of-motion, when it comes to joint motion, if you don’t use it, you lose it; mobility exercises ensure that your joints function properly as you age.


3. Strengthening the connective tissues of tendons and ligaments; connective tissues have low blood flow and can take longer to heal than muscles, mobility exercises help strengthen these tissues to avoid injuries in the first place.


4. Improve body awareness and dynamic balance, we can improve coordination and motor control which are the essential ingredients for athletic ability at any age; you’ll always want to maintain the ability to move like an athlete, so it’s important to train like one.


5. Mobility exercises are great for active recovery the day after a really hard workout.
