Video 558 | Mobility Circuit (60 minutes) with Lauren Eirk
5 Day Fitness Plan
•
08-May-2024
For this workout, the only equipment you will need is your body! Take this hour to survey your joint mobility from left to right to see where your motion deficits are. We will perform 15 bodyweight exercises with 8-12 repetitions each in order to improve overall mobility resulting from muscle loss in mid-life. This is a circuit format, moving through each exercise, then repeating the entire routine in full.
In mid-life, hormone levels decrease significantly. These hormones are responsible for maintaining muscle mass and strength. For instance, with lower estrogen levels in women there is a tendency to lose muscle mass more rapidly, which directly impacts strength and mobility. Hormonal changes and muscle loss can lead to stiffer, less flexible joints and tendons, increasing discomfort and reducing the range of motion, further impacting mobility. As strength improves, so will your motion quality.
