and strength, and it is crucial to help you squat deeper, push harder, jump higher and other
mobility-demanding exercise routines.
Mobility is not a specific type of workout but rather as a general athletic skill, like
strength or power or speed. While building strength or speed, you need to build
mobility.
Being mobile is a crucial aspect of being healthy. If a person is not able to move
a joint freely through its full range of motion, then she/he is at an increased risk of injury
before even attempting to pick up a weight and load that range of motion. Mobility, on
the other hand, is an umbrella term for the many elements that contribute to movement
with full range of motion, including restricted muscle tissue, joints, the joint capsules,
motor control, and your soft tissue.
Mobility is both beneficial to all aspects of fitness and is easy to improve and
maintain. It is your ability to control your limbs throughout their full range of motion, and
can sometimes be confused for stretching.
Mobility training can improve the range of motion of our joints and muscles.
It can assist in improving our posture.
Alleviate 'everyday' aches and pains as well as improve our body awareness.

Conditions such as lower back or knee pain, plus some forms of arthritis, can
benefit from mobility exercises.
I DARE YOU
Here is a list of basic mobility drills you could perform once per week to get you
started with mobility exercise.
Execute the following exercises below and provide a photo to every exercise
listed. Indicate the name of the mobility and the number of drills you performed. (5 pts.
Each photo with label)
Note: You may use bond paper or any creative paper for printing. One (1) page only.
2. Hamstring Mobility
o The hamstring mobility drill is similar in fashion to the hip mobility drill above, the
only difference will be that instead of swinging side to side in a pendulum motion
you will be swinging your leg forwards and backwards.
o Again, gradually increase your range of motion and be sure to keep your body in
line and contract your core throughout.

4. Ankle Mobility
o Assume an all fours position, in a bear stance so that you have two hands flat on

o Rock forward and backwards from your heel through to your toes and back.
o Perform this exercise 10 times on each leg.
o Begin in a four-legged position, and place one hand behind your head.
o Keep your core braced and rotate your upper back downwards bringing the
elbow of your elevated arm down toward the elbow of your bracing arm.
o Reverse the motion until the elbow is pointing towards the ceiling (or as far as
you can go without rounding your lower back) Repeat 10 x 3 sets on each side.
o Begin by standing with your back against a wall with correct posture.
o Raise arms out to your sides so that your forearms rest vertically against the wall.
Maintain this contact throughout the exercise.

o Slide your arms up until your arms are straight and then back down all the time
focusing on pulling your shoulder blades together and down.
o At the bottom of the movement bring your elbows into your body and squeeze
your shoulder blades together.
Muscle tightening and injuries are common to both athletes and physical fitness advocates. Thus you should be
mindful of these possibilities and take precautionary measures for personal safety. This is why dynamic warm-
up movements are recommended because it promotes blood flow and enhance your joint and muscle range of
motion—optimally cushioning joints and muscles for ensuing strenuous exercises and/or sports activities. You
do not substitute static stretches for a dynamic warm-up. Perform static stretches after a workout, practice to
help your muscles cool down and gradually lower your heart rate. You may choose three combo movements
below before workouts, practices and games. Provide a picture with label in each activity print it the bond
paper. One (1) page only.
Extend your arms at shoulder level while walking forward and alternately driving your legs toward
your hips for about 10 yards (Butt Kicks).
Turn around, bring your arms overhead and immediately follow by alternately raising your knees up
toward your waist and laterally rotating your upper legs to each side (Raise your right knee and rotate
it clockwise right, then raise your left knee and rotate it counterclockwise) (Open Gate Walks).
Continuously holding your arms at shoulder level and then overhead engages upper body muscles
while the Butt Kicks/Open Gate Walks warm up the legs, hips and inner thighs.
Walk forward about 10 yards while alternately raising each leg toward a hand
extended at chest level, lowering and switching hands during each raised leg
(Frankenstein Walks).
Immediately follow by raising your hands overhead and do Reverse Lunges.

Remember!
Here are some guides how to check your functional mobility. Do the following
figures in five repetitions. If you finish the five repetitions then your left and right
hemisphere is working and functioning well.
Prelim Examination: Provide a canned video in this activity that will not exceed at
least 5 minutes
Mobility exercises: This type of functional mobility skills is to test you left and right
hemisphere is working properly. Perform the following mobility exercises and record all
mobility functional skills. Prepare 1 measuring tape or ruler.
