Warmup is important
This is a time where you want max muscle recruitment, which in this case it's the squat.
The squat requires a large amount of muscles to work together for optimal result in the lift.

After an initial mobility series, I like the following:
1. Deadbug ISO
2. Side Plank w/ Adductor ISO
3. Side Plank w/ Leg Raise Hold
4. Glute Bridge with band

Stuck in a rut?

Most sports require a lot of time and volume, but not general health and wellness.

Research suggests an average of 3 days per week of strength training and 150 minutes/week of moderate activity on top of that.

3 days per week for 1 hour (busy? Split it up into 20-30 minutes ea.) is not much and folks think they need to be superheroes...

Just move and strength train.

Musts- Strength training is key for bone mass (not a weighted vest), blood sugar, blood pressure, stress reduction and independence as we age.

Bottom line- A little is better than nothing for progress

Daily Mobility to feel great!

Movement quality makes a difference when we engage in daily activities.

perform these exercises every day and before exercise.

There are many others and more specific movements based on your activity, but these are my favorite general mobility exercises.

Squat day Warmup

After an initial mobility routine and foam roll, I do the following:

1. Banded Hip up for overall recruitment
2. Side plank + leg raise hold for hip stability
3. Side plank with bottom leg elevated for adductor health
