Mobilising before exercising - Haemnet

It’s important to mobilise as this prepares your body for exercise. Mobilising generates heat and warms up your major joints: shoulders, spine and hips.

Aim to perform the exercises slowly and use gentle rhythmic movements to avoid stressing your body.

Dynamic Hamstring Stretch

Keep your feet parallel throughout the movements, approximately a hip-width apart.
As you push your glutes back, focus on lengthening the spine – keep it neutral, shoulders back and chest lifted

Hip Rotations

As you raise your leg, keep the knee on the supporting leg soft to assist with your balance.
Take the knee as far back as is comfortable for you, focusing on creating a smooth movement at the hip joint.

Chest Openers

Throughout the movement, keep a curved action with your arms – to achieve this, keep your elbows soft.
Lengthen the muscle from different directions, diagonally and horizontally.

Spine Rotations

Ensure the rotations are at your waist focusing on keeping your hips forwards and fixed.
Aim to move your head in the same direction as your hands.
