Move Better, Lift Stronger: Essential Mobility Drills

Mobility isn’t just about stretching—it’s about moving with intention. It’s the foundation that allows you to lift more, hurt less, and feel strong in real life—not just in the gym.

Why Mobility Matters

• It improves joint health and range of motion

• Supports better form in lifts like squats, deadlifts, and presses

• Reduces injury risk and muscle compensation patterns

Where Most Women Feel Tight

• Hips and ankles (from sitting and lack of full-range movement)

• Upper back and shoulders (thanks, desk life and phone posture)

• Wrists and thoracic spine (especially for pushups, overhead lifts, and daily life)

Simple Mobility Drills to Start

• 90/90 Hip Switches (hip rotation + control)

• World’s Greatest Stretch (thoracic + hip opener)

• Wall Angels (shoulder + posture reset)

• Ankle Rockers (ankle dorsiflexion)

Start with just 5 minutes pre- or post-workout—consistency is more important than perfection.

Strength starts with how well you move.
