Period 8 Weight Training Mobility



We are spending a considerable amount of time trying to get strong and learning proper form for exercises that will help us get stronger.  It is important that we not lose focus on the importance of mobility.  Mobility refers to the body's ability to move a joint through a full range of motion. 

We work on our mobility as we lift, by taking our muscles through a full range of motion but sometimes that is not enough, or we have issues that prevent us from reaching full range and we need to do other exercises.

This weeks blog is a test of your knowledge and my teaching.  We have been performing mobility exercises all semester and I am interested to see if you can match the exercises with the joints they are intended to mobilize.  Use the below matching activity to test your knowledge on mobility.  Match the exercise on the left with the joint or area it mobilizes on the right.  When answering the blog just put the number of the exercise with he letter for the joint.
  1. Leg Swings                                                             A. Ankles
  2. Pass Throughs/Dislocates                                    B. Hips
  3. Bottom of Squat Holds                                         C. Knees
  4. Feel Goods                                                            D. Shoulders
  5. Quad Stretch                                                          E. Lower Back
  6. Hamstring Stretch                                                 F. Groin
