Incorporate these daily mobility stretches for men into your fitness regime and you’ll benefit from improved performance and increased protection from injury.<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Daily mobility stretches are so often overlooked, but the benefit stretching exercises bring not only to your training but your overall wellbeing shouldn’t be underestimated. Everyday niggles like those twinges you feel when touching your toes or loading a bag into an overhead locker can easily be ironed out with some basic hamstring or shoulder work \u2013 as well as with the use of a foam roller<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the gym you’ll notice improvements too. If you’ve been paying attention to your mobility and flexibility, you’ll find it easier to hold the correct form lifting big during workouts for more effective gains and fewer injury concerns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Give these four daily mobility stretches a go to begin with and you’ll soon notice the difference. They can all be done from the comfort of your own front room too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Which areas should I target when stretching?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

When incorporating flexibility exercises for men into your fitness routine, concentrate your efforts on the body parts that take the biggest battering from work and play, and you\u2019ll see results fast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Upper-back work<\/strong> is essential for basically everyone. Everyone is hunched forwards during the hours they spend driving and doing computer work. Ideally you need to counteract that daily by using flexibility exercises and mobility stretches for men.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Similarly, pretty much everyone needs to work on their hip extension<\/strong> \u2013 with all the sitting or slumping on the sofa we do, it\u2019s an area that needs constant work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, you should work on hip rotation<\/strong>: again, everyone needs it, and it has direct benefits for squatting and jumping.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    1. Cobra with back emphasis<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

    Why I like it:<\/strong> Reverse arching the back and shoulders like this counteracts the natural slump we fall into when sitting at a desk or on a sofa. This is my go-to stretch if I’m feeling any lower-back pain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
