Why you need to work on your mobility
Live MintDid you see Mirabai Chanu lift 87kg during the Tokyo Olympics on her way to winning a silver medal? So when you go to your gym and do a basic warm up, try to also incorporate mobility drills before you start lifting weights. Because we have separate mobility drills targeting each joint, such as ankle, hips, thoracic spine and shoulder,” explains Kavya Bhatia, head of department, Masina Hospital Reliva Physiotherapy Center, Mumbai. You should also know that good mobility helps you to work on general physical imbalances, which, if left unchecked, can lead to injuries. According to Vijay, other than the short mobility exercises you can work into your warm-up, you should also incorporate 40-45 minutes of exclusively mobility work once or twice a week.
