The ability to move each of your joints through their maximum range is very important to preserve your youth and avoid injury. Working on your joint mobility should always be your main priority because as we age, we lose mobility through the joints and become less and less mobile.
 
Mobility acts as the perfect warm up before starting your workout or even cooling down after a workout. Begin at the top and work your way down, pay particular attention to areas that feel tight or lack movement.
 
Perform 8-10 repetitions on each area/side
 
Set 1:
 
Standing
 
Neck  (both directions)
Shoulders (focus on bringing the shoulders up as close to the ears)
Thoracic spine (both directions)
Hips  (both directions)
Knees (both directions)
Feet  (both directions)
 
Set 2
 
Ground-based
 
knees/hips (both directions)
cat and cow
thoracic spine (imagine your moving a skipping rope up and down)
