Staying Bendy🧘♂️
How bendy are you on a scale of 1-10?
I have a golden rule around mobility and staying stretchy throughout your life. For every decade of your life you should have one mobility day. But what is a mobility day or exercise?
Mobility is a form of movement that helps you move with more freedom in the gym and outside of the gym or as I like to say, stay bendy.
The reason I try to enforce the mobility day per decade of aging is because as we age, our bodies start to lose that strength and elasticity that came so naturally when we were younger. It’s not a bad thing – it's just something to work on with more diligence as you continue to age. So how do we maintain that flexibility as we live these lives of ours?
Add some dynamic and static stretching (fluid stretching vs stretching you hold for x amount of time) into your routine. It can be 15 minutes or a full session that is focused solely on that. The old saying of practice makes perfect is true here. The more you work on your mobility, the more flexibility you have, the more strength you can unlock, and the more recovery you can give to yourself after good effort in the gym.
Some mobility drills and movements I give my clients are:
- Inch worms into a cobra
- Worlds greatest stretch
- Standing flag pole stretch with a PVC pipe
- Prone pinwheels
- Ankle dorsi flexion against a wall or on a slanted surface
Learning this skill is powerful and can be a great asset to your routine and overall health. Feel free to share any of your favorite bendy movements as well. Let’s see what you got🤸♂️
