Mobility

Unfortunately, most people do not put enough emphasis on maintaining and improving their mobility. They spend a lot of time working on their strength and their speed, or even muscle size, without focusing first on their capacity for quality movement range. If you're immobile, all of the strength work in the world won't fix the problem if you constantly fail to address the issue. It is a failure, not an accident, and it should be treated as such. You're all aware of your mobility limitations, they aren't surprises to you. We spend a great deal of time sitting down watching television, or reading, or sitting in the office. A great deal of time sitting in the "slow hip death" position, as Kelly Starrett, world famous physical therapist, refers to it. If you've got 10 minutes to watch tv, you've got 10 minutes to work on stretching your hips, or whatever your limitations are. Kelly Starrett recently started a blog called "Mobility WOD (workout of the day) They are designed to take no more than 10 minutes and be done every day. A little bit of time invested in this daily goes a very, very long way. Try it for a week, and you'll see.
