3 simple exercises for more mobility in everyday life
Mobility plays an important role in sport and in everyday life. Activities such as biking or hiking in particular often put asymmetric strain on your body. This makes it all the more important to ensure balance and maintain mobility.
Regular mobility and stretching exercises help you keep your muscles supple, relieve tension and support your joints. In this way, you can improve your performance, prevent injuries and promote recovery.
Together with Laura from Goldenbody Fitness, we’ll show you three simple mobility exercises that you can easily integrate into your routine. In the videos, you will be guided through the exercises step by step so that you can increase your mobility and help your body feel better.
Start slowly with one exercise a day and increase your mobility routine until it becomes part of your day-to-day life. If you want to go one step further, we have also put together efficient strength training exercises.
These three exercises will help you
- release tension
- maintain mobility
- and provide optimal support for your body after doing sports
1. Forward Fold
This exercise stretches the entire posterior chain:
- Calves
- Hamstrings
- Back
Hiking and biking put a lot of strain on these muscles in particular. If they are shortened, this can cause tension or even pain.
Helps to relieve tension in your legs and improves your mobility when walking and pedalling.
2. Torso Stretch
The torso stretch improves mobility in the upper body and spine.
When biking in particular, you need good rotation in your upper body (e.g. when steering or on trails). A flexible spine also ensures better posture when hiking.
Supports healthy posture and makes your upper body more flexible.
3. Child Pose
The child’s pose relaxes your back, opens your hips and releases tension – especially after long tours or intensive training.
When biking or hiking, in particular, you often sit or move in a slightly bent forward position. This exercise helps to relieve strain on the back and to relax the muscles.
Good for recovery, back relaxation and lower back mobility .
