Mobility Challenge

One of the first videos I ever posted on the internet was a mobility challenge way back in 2015. I posted a follow along video each day to encourage people to unwind and build a helpful habit into their day.

The video quality has improved, and my talking to the camera is drastically better but this value still holds true - taking a few minutes to get on  the floor and work on your positions has a massively positive effect on your body.

On bodies need routine maintenance, something none of us were ever taught.

Fast forward to 2023 and we’re on day 2 of GAIN’s 30 Day Mobility Challenge and if you’re not playing along yet, I hope you start today.

Each morning, the video explanation gets posted to GAIN’s Instagram and TikTok.

Watch the video, usually a couple minutes, to understand the intent for the day and what the stretches are. After that, it’s on you to make the time to do this.

I would encourage you to do it at the same time every day and create and new routine around it. For me, stretching happens at night, after Elliot goes to bed and Hannah and I are watching TV.  Keep in mind, this isn’t only a practice in mobility, but of discipline as well.

If you’re motivated now on day 2, you need to be prepared to not be motivated on day 23. What will keep your new habit going is to create structure and discipline around it.

Be sure to check today’s video and keep this new habit rolling!
