The PERFECT Mobility Routine To Get Your Sh*t Together! (Based On Your Body)

- Most people are lacking sufficient mobility in key areas. And typically, there are 4 main problem areas: the shoulders, thoracic spine, hips, and ankles. Therefore, what we’re going to do in this video is focus our mobilizations on these specific areas (e.g. hips mobility and ankle mobility). And we’ll also first determine if you truly could benefit from more mobility training in that specific area by running through a couple of mobility tests. By the end of the video, you’ll have a personalized mobility routine based on the body areas you could use the most work.
The first area we’re going to cover for mobility training is the shoulder joint. To determine your shoulder mobility it, simply reach one arm up and over your shoulder and your other arm up your back as far as possible. Ideally you’ll want those fingers to touch but aim to at least get your arm to reach the top of your shoulder blade and your bottom arm can reach the bottom of your shoulder blade. Do the test on both sides and see how you do. The mobility drill that’ll help your shoulder mobility is this: just grab a cloth or towel, and hold it in each hand using the test position with both hands behind your back. Then, perform reps of gently pulling down on the towel while actively reaching downward with your top arm. Whereas to mobilize the bottom arm, perform reps of pulling the towel up while actively reaching up with your bottom arm each rep.
Next, we’ll move onto the thoracic spine. One of the best mobility tests for this area is to take a picture sideways in the mirror with your body relaxed. If your mid to upper back seems to round, then it could use some mobility work. First, we’ll mobilize the area with thoracic extensions. Here, place your elbows on a bench or couch with your hands together. Sit your hips back into your heels as you drop your chest towards the floor. Hold for a few seconds, then repeat this motion for more reps. Follow this up with cat cows.
Next, we’ll move onto the hips. The hips mobility test is simple; perform a bodyweight squat. If your feet turn out excessively on the way down, or your hips just seem to lock at a certain depth and you can’t go below parallel, or your hips tend to shift to one side during your squat, then your hips could use some more mobility work. If they do, then you’ll want to do the 90/90 drill. To perform it, bend both legs to 90 degrees. Then, while keeping your torso stacked over your hips, simply transition from one side to another by opening up your hips.
Lastly, we need to look at the ankle mobility. Perform a bodyweight squat and see how deep you can go without rising up off your heels or leaning forward excessively. Repeat this again, but this time with weight plates or a book under each heel, and see if your squat improves in terms of depth and form. If it does, then you’d likely benefit from the next ankle mobility drill. Simply find an elevated platform like a bench, couch, or even your stairs, and place one foot on top of it. Then, using your arms under your bench or couch, pull yourself forward to drive your knee directly over your toe while keeping your heel planted. Hold the end position for a few seconds, then repeat for more reps before switching sides.
Lastly, to tie everything together, we’ll add a weighted goblet squat to the end of our mobility routine. Here you’ll want to hold any weighted object like a backpack stuffed with books or weight plate out in front of you, then sit into a deep squat. Hold this position while keeping your chest up and rocking side to side to transfer the weight and stretch to one ankle at a time. This is a great way to further mobilize your ankles, hips, and mid-back in a functional position.
So, simply go through the tests for each of the 4 joints, and use that to determine what your daily mobility list will look like.
Shoulder
Towel Stretch: 5-10 reps per failed arm
T-Spine
Thoracic Extensions: 5-10 reps
Cat Cows: 6 reps each way
Hips
90/90 Drill: 5-10 reps each side
Ankles
Bench Ankle Mobilization: 5-10 reps each leg
All
Weighted Goblet Squat: 30-60 second rocking hold
To see the best results, implement it daily or even 2-3 times a day, with about 2 sets per exercise. Do realize that you need to be mindful of the positions you’re in for the rest of the day. Make an effort to move more, as that is very likely the root cause behind your aches and tightness. And for a step-by-step program that shows you exactly how to build muscle and lean down as efficiently as possible, without neglecting important aspects of your training like mobility and prehab, take the analysis quiz to discover which science-based program would be best for you and where your body is currently at below:

With the ankles mobility exercise, would it be a better exercise if I do it without wearing shoes?
My one side arm and thigh is small than another one . Please make one video about that.♥️
Quality video as usual! Not sure why the mic so echo-y in this video... I suggest you try and rectify it!
"focus only on the areas that need work". Me: all of them.
Don’t don’t waste time stretching
@@OMAR-vk9pi why not?
@@mzsym5075 It might seem you can keep it up for a while, but eventually you'll just quit it all, what you needed the most included.
It's more sustainable to only do what you actually need
@@nikoashgallala2271 this is actually make sense 👍🏼
@@mzsym5075 it doesn’t really do anything unless it’s directed towards a specific goal even then there’s probably better ways it doesn’t prevent injury or help with warming up it’s also not really sustainable long term

I didnt need a towel
Thanks man
Thanks king
Thanks a lot
Thank you
This is EXACTLY what I was looking for. A no nonsense, evidence backed, minimalistic mobility routine with high leverage. Thank you so much.
Evidence based lol
any results?
And zero attitude or pump-up self-help BS.
Yes, all of his videos are like that!
@@curious_blank I guess u didnt see the sources he quoted?
I am blown away by these videos! The explanation, the technique, the visual support, the ease of understanding, ... everything! Thanks a million!!

It's stuff like this they need to teach in schools.
For sure
All my school taught in P.E was how to play various games rather than anything helpful regarding staying healthy/mobile
@@nothing982right and so it was really just let’s see what kids are naturally athletic and which are not lol
i love how accessively you present these execises! feels doable and not like a huge barrier to overcome
I'm so excited to try this tomorrow. It looks like it feels so good. As a working student I have been neglecting exercise but 10 minutes/day and fixing my shit spoke to me. I'm lucky to be quite flexible at 31 but I don't want to lose it. Thank you!
I'm about to hit 40 and my fitness goal is "be able to move without hurting myself", so thank you I'm going to try these out
that´s my goal too and I'm only 18 lol
I'm 29 with some past trauma/scholiosis, some of us start early haha but same goals
How did your first month go?
I am over 50 and my goal is to move faster than anybody and be able to hurt them without hurting myself. Actually, so far nobody needed the hurt.
@@victorsanchez7908 hahah am 14 and thinkin same
I swear this is one of the best if not the best fitness channels on CZcams. This man clearly deserves a sub.
You are the best youtube workout coach ever. I love listening to you, everything is so clear snd easy. Your camera person is a champion too, by the way. Thank you so much!
Thank you for all of your great videos. I really appreciate your logical approach to what you do. You have taught me so much since I began my journey 2 years ago at 36 and I’m in the best shape of my life.
Wanted to tell you how much of a difference you have made in the way I have been able to rehab my mom. Major surgery in a couple of weeks which will put her back, but, man. You have made a huge difference in her quality of life.
This deserves all the credit. Finally someone explains to the point without all the time wasting BS.
he explained it really good with out wasting unnecessary time.
Thank you!! I'm only 35, and I've noticed that the mobility in my right shoulder is bad, as well as my posture and hip mobility. I'm going to most certainly be including these exercises in my daily life. Thank you for making everything clear and without any nonsense.
Dude thank you so much. I go to physical therapy weekly and you still provided me with new information I need! Thank you. My stiffness has been a downfall of my life.
“It wont take that long if you only focus on the areas that actually need work”
Yea thats my whole body ngl
I was gonna say
Es ist bei jedem der ganze Körper. Selbst der Kopf gehört dazu.. ZBsp Abklopfen oder massieren oder Gesichts Yoga 😁
This is exactly what i needed, ive been having problems with mobility for years but i grew tired of always doing those things 15 minute mobility drills that i didnt like. Now i can really focus on those areas that need it the most. Being my shoulders, back and ankles. Thanks a lot man!
1 year ago now! How are your mobility now?

Ive never seen so much value added per minute in a fitness video before! thank you so much, this was insanely helpful
I’ve watched and learned from a few of your videos, and am now subscribed! I really appreciate your straightforward explanations and lack of drama.
I really like the format of this video, just makes a lot of sense and easy to follow. Straight to the point as well.
Thank you for this routine! I was suffering greatly from imbalance and tightness and I can see and feel a big difference in 2 weeks of doing these movements.
Hello friend, it's been a few years now. Have you kept up with it? Is your mobility significantly improved now?
Good stuff, Jeremy! I started working on my mobility two months ago and have made huge gains, I feel so much better and younger.
i did those exercises for two months and fucking fixed my hyper lordosis!!!!! thank you so much 😭😭😭😭 it was a huge insecurity of mine and now it’s fixed. i can perform exercises so much better, i can squat, i don’t feel bad about it anymore, dude you’re a fitness god!
Dude, Jeremy, you are %100 on of my favorite fitness channels. You always choose the best videos to make! I'm always thinking,, "man I could use a posture fix," right as you post this video!!!
“Fix your sh*t” - Jeremy knows how to speak to you 😂
I swear to god 🤣🤣
He probably follows Move-U on insta. If you don't, I'm sure I wouldn't be the only one disappointed 😂. Fr though, they're fantastic people too, check em out
@@LoloMongiello Fuck yeah bro. MOVE U FOR LIFE 😃
Nah he just likes to be edgy lol
@@enrique2395 finally
You are great man! You seem to be very young in age but have vast knowledge about our body and that backed by scientific and an absolute no-nonsense approach! Trainers with even decades of experience would struggle to possess the knowledge you have!
Respect from a big Fan!
Jeremy...Excellent video! Blessings to you!
This video made me feel good, I passed most of the tests, the one where I failed was my back being slouch a bit due to working on my PC at home, and at work, I was used to being hunch over. About 3 months ago bought an ergo chair and has been helping me as it locks me into a certain position preventing me from hunching over. Now I know what workout I need to do to keep my back straight.
I had been looking for mobility training videos since a long time and I'm so glad that I found this video based on solid fitness science,thank you Jeremy for your comprehensive yet easy to follow video!
It's amazing living this journey through the times of life when he dropped or posted. Great video
incredible video
You saw this now?
The goat himself!
This is my biggest goal for 2021, thanks for uploading bro you are legend 🔥
update January 2022 : Oh shit i didn't even remember have this goal last year 😂
Same my goal is same 😉
Me to bro.. even my abs don't Cause of antirior pelvic titl
He definitely is a legend 100% 💪
Welcome to 2022 😙
Me too bro
I couldn't help laughing for the selfie when you're relaxed, its so shocking but true. Great video Jeremy!
im a middle aged woman with a chronic pain condition and weak joints. i have watched a handul of these mobility / stretch / strengthen films. This is the best i have seen - better even than the Harvard Health ones, which i subscribe to. Well done, Jeremy - this is good work. God-willing i will implement these 5 moves into my day.
JEREMY! You are a genius! This video helped me SOOOO much! I am a flexibility coach at a nationwide assisted stretching company, These processes and stretches will make me a rock star at my studio! None of my coworkers look beyond the basic stretches recommended by the company and rely of our video subscription site for the demonstrations for each stretch/exercise! I can apply these techniques to everyone I see TODAY!
Personally, my shoulders are a mess from growing up a gymnast so the shoulder mobility drill was an eye opener! THANKS!!!
I found this extremely helpful being an athlete and I got to the gym regularly I’ve always stressed about my mobility thanks 🙏
Bro, I’m sooo glad I found this video. Since the lockdown I haven’t been active much at all. At work I’m sedentary and when I’m home I game. This has made me realise how much I’ve left my self slip. Thanks brother
Have these exercises helped already?
It has been 2 months since you wrote down this comment, I’m interested to see if it actually helped
@@cecillewolters1995 hey sorry for the delayed response. Yep I feel great, don’t over stretch yourself to start off with.
@@stuartellis6513 Wow, thank you for the response! :O
I will stat slow ;)
Great to hear that you feel this way, keep going :D
@@cecillewolters1995 thank you! Good luck :)
My job and home life is the same too brother. Seated for 12 hour shifts then get home and ill sit again and just game all day long. Need to get my shit sorted out too. Bad back pain and everything. Hope your making good progress!
I'm 40 thanks for this, at my age I have to routinely get chiropractic treatment, deep tissue massage, and hot and cold therapy because I spent the last 15years behind a PC, this is a warning for all you young and elder folks, get active, stretch, and most importantly eat right and be happy
thanks for the tips sir!!
@@erenyasa1115 stagnation is one of the culprits to all our health issues, circulation is essential no matter what you do be mobile, no problem I wish I knew earlier
@@farouqiamin7894 Sounds like you have all the answers now. Not like people are in severe pain from very active lifestyles...
💯% Correct!
The trick is to go to an actual doctor like a physiotherapist. The chiro is just sucking your money
I come back to this video at least twice a year. So good. Thank you, man.
I recommend not only this video but several others made by this channel, when dealing with "postural correction". It not only teaches you how to perform the exercise perfectly, it also demonstrates its long-term effectiveness. I performed the exercises recommended last year, being more specific; in December. Today I feel the difference in bodily health and everyday well-being. really an excellent video.
Is your posture good now?
From the person who just finishes my physical therapy because of back pain. I gree with you 100%
You’re helping so many lives with this. Thank you!
I've never been able to make my fingers touch behind my back that way, and I've always had problems with shoulders at gym. This is about to change, thanks to you.
How’s it going? Any improvement
@@JV-bf3hc Unfortunately, to be perfectly honest, I forgot the whole thing. I should give it another try, thanks for reminding. My shoulder is acting up while benching, it feels a bit "loose" on the joint, so i'm not sure if this stretch is the best thing to me at the moment. Maybe just carefully? Dunno...
Hope you’re doing better. Write a note and screen shot it, then put it as your screen saver.. if you keep forgetting something important that will improve your mind-body-soul.
I can shake my hand behind my back...
Hell i can even play rock, paper, scissors behind back 🗿
Ditch the towel and use a broom stick.
POV : You're watching this video with shrimp like posture 😂😂
Thank you so much. It took me an hour to find this video. One which is actually for beginners and not someone who is actually flexible but can't fold their spine in half backwards and are crying about not being flexible enough.
I love the clarity and the "symplicity " of the explanations. Good quality channel..Thank you!
I have eczema... those scratch tests are so easy after 15 years of tearing my back open
Jeremy, this is awesome help! I’m 56 and have been a massage therapist for 20 years, plus went through open heart surgery 3 years ago (born with a heart defect that finally had to be corrected),
so definitely failed all! Every day of work that I don’t correct my posture and body mechanics makes me more and more out of balance, so I thank you for the clear and concise maneuvers. 😍
Thank you thank you thank you. For years ive had issues with my shoulder, especially when doing flyes. Now I have just learned my right side bottom arm is failing quite bad. Thanks to you I now know how to fix this mobility issue.
Hey thanks for the hard work putting this together. The information was straightforward and the editing/graphics kept my attention throughout the entire video.
I was struggling with hips and ankles without even realizing. Thank you so much!
Flobility Instagram you will get through this he is not talking about ripcage to pelvis the key
Since I started to work from home I feel like the back pain is coming slowly but surely. Maintaining a good posture is extremely important. Thank you for your video! 💪🔥
I had the same problem. I ordered a high quality chair that is suitable for 8 h sitting and for my height (1.95 m) and things got way better ;)
i get lower back pain from sitting so long
@@felixx9410 Which chair, Felix?
@@jamesowens9710 hjh OFFICE PRO-TEC 300. But I would recommend to do some research yourself, since it is very subjective what chair fits you best ;)
@@felixx9410 Thank you, sir!
Finally!! I have been looking for a video exactly like this for six months now! Perfect
Thank you so much for this video! I’m a full time tattoo artist and basically all of the above are problem areas specifically hips/lower back and shoulders!
Went through so many different videos with way too much fluff of trying to charge £40 a month for a mobility routine. Can’t thank you enough for this advice, saved, liked and I’ll be implementing this daily!

Thanks for the video. People like you are making the world a better place
Thanks for this video, J. This proves I work on my mobility adequately. So im gonna keep doing them.
Thanks so much for the great content you put on here. My body looks like the picture on the left and I have problems with each of the mobility exercises you mentioned. I'm going to dedicate time everyday to rectify my awful posture and hopefully I'll see some improvements in future!
How is your mobility and posture now?
Oh wow, I have been saying I don’t need to do a full routine just hit the bits that need it. Improving my ankle mobility transformed my daily life. Just going up and down stairs feels so fluid now. Thank you so much.
Thank you. This is the one I'm starting my mobility journey after a long pause at the gym (2 months).
Thank you for the direction Jeremy. Also, I appreciate that you make this information available for free. subbed
thank you, with this pandemic's effect on my body , I needed this
Lower back gang where you at ?
My shit is hammered I'm glad I found this guy and McGill
🤚🏼
Yo! It’s been actual years since I had no lower back pain.
Very clear and informative video. I like the fact that you condensed all the important information into a under 10 minute video. Very impressive!
Thanks guys for this routine! During lockdown and forced home office my mobility has gone so worse that my running time has decreased by almost 1 min/km, time to go back to more flexibility!!!
Cracked my neck during the intro I swear
You are so young, but I’m learning so much from you!Your knowledge it’s amazing!!!Respect for you, greetings from Romania 🇷🇴!!!
Thank you for these practical assessments and exercises. You’re doing it right, man. Subscribed.
Failed at one thing only, and that was my right arm lower reach, as I couldn't get it as far up as the left one - by quite a lot. Everything else seemed to be normal. I'll definitely train my right arm. Thanks for this!
Sameeeeee. I'd noticed just from showering that my shoulder mobility wasn't what it used to be when getting my back but I instinctively copied the exercise as soon as he did it and was pleasantly surprised that I could easily clasp my hands .... then I switched and looked like the 50 yo man graphic. Blew my mind.

Thanks for the tips i can already tell whithout doing them that i most likley need some of these so will def be putting this to the test and trying these stretches/exercises
This video is the need of hour
Because we all do sitting a lot , exercises are quite simple
Thanks for the great knowledge.

my hips and shoulders pop in and out on every one of these exercises
insane guide, I went from having laughable shoulder mobility on my right shoulder to actually being able to pass the mobility test all within 24 hours. looking forward to the benefits from all other the exercises
are you still doing this?
thank you for this video! exactly what I was looking for I need to improve most of this except ankle mobility. Looking forward to improve all these during 2022!
