The BEST Way to Improve Your Mobility

Improving mobility is a common goal among fitness enthusiasts, and the traditional approach has often been to stretch extensively. While stretching can temporarily increase a joint's range of motion, it requires a significant time commitment to maintain these gains. A more effective and time-efficient method is weight training through a large range of motion, utilizing whatever range is currently accessible. By gradually expanding this range over time, one can strengthen the muscles around the joints, enhancing stability and unlocking a greater range of motion. Training with lighter weights through a full range is shown to be more effective for muscle growth, strength, mobility, and injury prevention compared to lifting heavier weights through a limited range. Therefore, incorporating a wider range of motion in weight training can simultaneously improve both strength and mobility.
