ATG Mobility Series 1 of 10

Mobility: ability to move or be moved freely and easily

The dictionary says mobility is “the ability to move or be moved freely and easily.”

So there’s a flexibility component AND a strength component.

In this 10-part series I’m going to teach you every mobility exercise in my regimen, with step-by-step progressions for each one.

The one I’ve done the most addresses squat mobility in the front leg…

…hip-flexor flexibility in the back leg, with some strength component, too, since the back leg is also supporting your weight.

A chair is a common starting point, and a stairwell is a common option for progression.

Many gyms have stackable boxes or bumper plates. After coaching this progression thousands of times, we made a mobility box for measurement and user friendliness.

Lower = increased mobility, since it requires more flexibility AND more strength, and you can add load for even more strength.

I had been through almost a decade of knee problems and was close to giving up altogether when I found this exercise, thanks to legendary Olympic trainer Charles Poliquin.

Now over 10 years later, it’s the exercise I’m most grateful for because it’s helped me achieve knees I never thought possible. It’s also helped me get more athletic than I thought possible, with a bonus of amazing hip results, too.

My wife has been thrilled to find her mobility is as good at 35 as when she was half that age, and this has been her main mobility exercise.

It’s also the main exercise my mom used to fix her hip problem and stay mobile!

I hope this helps you and yours, and I look forward to continuing this series for you!

Yours in Solutions,

Ben
