Mobilize Every Joint In Your Body With This 13-Minute Express Strength Workout

If flexibility is the cool brunette cheerleader in the 2009 Taylor Swift music video, then mobility is undoubtedly the blonde band geek pining from the bleachers. Mobility doesn’t get nearly the attention and respect it deserves, but on this week’s episode of Trainer of the Month Club, trainer Morit Summers of Form Fitness Brooklyn is here to show you that mobility truly belongs in your strength workouts.

“Today we’re going to do a strength and mobility workout to get your body moving, and to make your body feel really great and strong,” says Summers at the top of the equipment-free class.

Quick refresher: Flexibility refers to a given muscle’s ability to stretch, while mobility speaks to how well said muscle can move within a joint. “Mobility is one of the most important aspects of both a successful training plan, and being well in the body over time,” yoga and mobility instructor, Gabrielle Morbitzer previously told Well+Good.
