Fix Your Mobility in 5 Minutes a Day (And Why It Matters for Krav Maga)
Most adults don’t stop working out because they lose motivation. They stop because their body starts giving them warning signs — stiffness, pain, bad movement patterns, slow recovery.
That’s not age. That’s mobility loss.
The truth is simple:
When mobility goes down, everything else goes with it.
Strength. Speed. Balance. Power. Even confidence.
The good news?
You can rebuild it in just a few minutes a day.
Why Adults Lose Mobility
Life makes us tight:
We sit too much
Our hips lock up
Our thoracic spine stops moving
Our ankles get stiff
And then we try to “work out harder,” which only loads bad mechanics
Mobility is the foundation for all athletic movement — especially self-defense.
The 5-Minute Fix
Here are three moves you can start tonight:
1. Deep Squat Hold (30 seconds)
Opens hips and ankles. Restores natural posture.
2. Thoracic Spine Rotations (5 per side)
Unlocks the upper back and improves striking mechanics.
3. Hip-Flexor Stretch or Couch Stretch (30 seconds per leg)
Reduces low-back tension and improves kicking mechanics.
These movements are simple, fast, and effective for any age.
Why This Matters for Krav Maga
Better mobility means:
Faster striking
More explosive power
Better balance under pressure
Fewer injuries
More confidence in real-life self-defense situations
Our students at Steve Woolridge’s Krav Maga & Fitness Center train mobility because it’s the true multiplier of performance.
