What is mobility training?

Mobility training is a form of exercise focused on enhancing the body's ability to move more freely and painlessly by improving flexibility, strength, and coordination. This type of training is often compared to yoga but tends to focus directly on improving the functionality and pain relief aspects of fitness. Mobility exercises are designed not only to increase the range of motion but also to support better posture and reduce discomfort from everyday activities 1 2 3.

Mobility training can appeal to individuals who are not necessarily looking to get "ripped" or "jacked" but are interested in being free from joint pain, like in the knees or back. It's identified as particularly beneficial for those who might otherwise experience mobility issues, such as older adults or those with sedentary lifestyles 1.
