Joint Mobility

This video post shows you a great range of moves that I use pre-workout to help mobilise my joints and prepare my body for intense activity. Basically if you imagine a hinge joint (E.g your elbow) such as that on a door, if the hinge isn't oiled up it is very stiff and more likely to be hard to move or get damaged. Its the same in the joint, the joint itself is surrounded by synovial fluid, but when it is cold or not warmed up properly it is more like a paste than fluid so by doing these moves you held warm up the fluid and get better healthier motion when you train. It helps a lot with big lifts such as squats or bench press and also helps if you are going to perform intense cardio such as long distance running or interval training.
