Flexibility and mobility are often overlooked, but are key to functional health and everyday ease of movement. It's not just how you look or how much you can lift - it's about your body works for you, without pain or limitations.
Why are mobility and flexibility important?
-
Reduces the risk of injuries - tight muscles and stiff joints more often lead to injuries in everyday activities.
-
They improve everyday functionality – climbing stairs, bending, lifting loads or playing with grandchildren becomes natural and easy.
-
They maintain energy and vitality - body mobility also affects the quality of breathing, circulation and general feeling of strength.
How to improve mobility and flexibility
-
Dynamic stretching - movements that activate muscles and joints before training or activity.
-
Circular movements of the joints – shoulders, hips, ankles; simple circulation activates and heats.
-
Strength exercises through a full range of motion – squats, lunges and push-ups that involve a full range of motion improve flexibility and stability.
-
Yoga and Pilates – focus on breathing and stretching helps to maintain mobility in the long term.
-
Short micro-trainings during the day - 5-10 minutes of movement every couple of hours helps to keep the body "fresh" and functional.
Conclusion
Health and functional ability are not just abstract concepts – they are the ability to move freely, enjoy daily activities and face life's challenges without limitations. Regular exercise of mobility and flexibility makes every movement easier and the body stronger and more resistant.
