Mobility is defined as your ability to move purposefully as you go through your day. It is the foundation for living a healthy and independent life. Mobility comprises all the skills required for everyday living: physical stamina, strength, balance, coordination, and range of motion.
Mobility training involves exercises and movements that strengthen and lengthen your body, allowing you to move freely and efficiently. A mobility training class may include elements of a variety of fitness routines you may or may not already be familiar with, such as dynamic stretches, foam rolling and bodyweight exercises.
These exercises are about much more than just being flexible. Done right—and regularly—mobility training can increase your range of motion, relieve tight muscles, ensure good posture and proper athletic form, and even prevent injury.
Mobility training is ideal for women of all ages and fitness levels. And it’s especially perfect for workout newbies or those who’ve tried but have been unsuccessful at sticking to a regular exercise plan. Once your mobility improves, your energy, drive, and ability to work out harder in other areas increases.
