Whether lifting your luggage into an overhead compartment or squatting on the floor to play with your kids, many daily movements require a combination of strength, stability and flexibility.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">And like an athlete, you have to train if you want to do these things without injury. But life is busy. If you\u2019re short on time, consider a workout that <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2024\/11\/21\/well\/move\/mobility-tests-aging.html\" title>focuses on mobility<\/a>, or how strong a joint is through its entire range.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cWhen we think of mobility, we think about movement,\u201d said Cedric Bryant, the president of the American Council on Exercise. This means focusing on dynamic moves, like lunges, that work groups of muscles, rather than individual ones.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">It also means focusing on important joints \u2014 like the shoulders, hips and <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2024\/10\/24\/well\/move\/back-workout-pain-injury-prevention.html\" title>spine<\/a>. Those areas are crucial for reaching, lifting and pulling, said Jessica Valant, a physical therapist and Pilates instructor in Denver. \u201cIf you can work to keep those mobile, you are going to help yourself with 90 percent of the activities that you do every day.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">These five exercises will help build full-body strength and can allow you to feel more capable and agile.
