This self-care and full-body mobility class will help you work on the range of motion in many key joints in your body, while improving your flexibility. Better joint health means better muscle health and better movement, which translates to better training results.
I know it’s easy to put off classes like this in favor of the ones we think will “get us results” (resistance training, HIIT training, etc.), but it’s the things we do around those workouts that make them more effective.
Additionally, throughout the day we adopt postures that can overload key muscles and weaken their opposites. Self-care exercises like the one we are going to do today will help you relax the muscles that can cause pain and tension in the neck and back from chronic sitting.
As we age, we lose collagen and elastin, which help provide flexibility and fluidity to our joints and muscles. A proactive self-care practice around your workouts can help improve your workout results and keep you safe and injury-free.
So do those quick warm-ups, cool-down stretches, and in my case, Rock Your Life Challenge Programs You will always find self-care classes such as yoga or mobility exercises integrated every week.

Speaking of joint health and declining collagen levels, if you're going to use a collagen supplement, make sure you get a hydrolyzed collagen powder. That's the type your body can most easily absorb and use to support healthy bones, skin, and joints.
