The Underrated Benefits of Mobility Training

Mobility training often takes a backseat to lifting and cardio, but it’s a game-changer for men over 40. Here’s why:

• Prevents Injuries: Improved joint mobility reduces the risk of strains and sprains, especially during intense workouts.

• Boosts Performance: Better mobility means better form. Whether it’s squats, deadlifts, or even daily movements, you’ll perform them with ease and efficiency.

• Eases Aches and Pains: If stiffness is holding you back, mobility exercises can help alleviate tension and improve flexibility.

Add 5-10 minutes of mobility work, like dynamic stretches or foam rolling, to your warm-up or cool-down. It’s a simple addition that delivers big results.

Success Hack: How to Stay Consistent with Your Workouts

The best workout routine is the one you stick to. Here’s how to make it happen:

• Schedule It: Treat your workouts like appointments. Block time on your calendar, and don’t let other commitments push it aside.

• Start Small: On busy days, commit to just 10 minutes. Most times, you’ll end up doing more once you start.

• Celebrate Wins: Every workout completed is a step forward. Recognize your efforts, no matter how small they seem.

Consistency beats intensity over the long haul—keep showing up, and the results will come.

Question from Our Readers:

“How do I handle late-night cravings without sabotaging my progress?”

• Mark, 49, Engineer, from Chicago, IL

Great question, Mark! Here’s how to tackle those cravings while staying on track:

• Plan Ahead: Save a portion of your calories for an evening snack. Choose something high in protein or fiber to keep you satisfied.

• Hydrate First: Thirst is often mistaken for hunger. Drink a glass of water and wait 10 minutes before deciding if you’re truly hungry.

• Choose a Smart Option: Greek yogurt with a sprinkle of nuts or a protein shake can curb cravings without overloading on calories.

Cravings happen—having a plan ensures they don’t derail your progress.

Fit Trivia: What’s the only vegetable that’s also a flower?

Answer: Broccoli! Not only is broccoli packed with vitamins and fiber, but it’s also technically a flower that hasn’t bloomed yet. So next time you’re eating it, you’re basically enjoying an edible bouquet!
