You asked, and she absolutely delivered! Krissy Cela has dropped the video we’ve all been waiting for on her YouTube channel featuring her ultimate mobility routine and it’s well worth a watch.
If you’re like me, always eager to jump right into your workout, Krissy’s advice is the reminder you need to hear to slow down and warm up first. Because, let’s be honest, none of us want to deal with injuries, right?
A good chunk of the video is taken up by Krissy explaining why mobilising your body is so important and it’s definitely worth watching to really get your head around how vital it is.
One great point that Krissy makes is about how our bodies change and evolve over time, and honestly it’s a bit of a wake-up call! See, what works for us now might not be the same in 10 or 20 years. This is why she’s so passionate about incorporating mobility into our routines from early on. It’s not just about now: it’s about keeping you agile for the long run.
Krissy also points out that mobilising your body isn’t all about the gym. These routines are important for supporting us through day-to-day movements too. For the fitness fans though, especially those who like to lift heavy, Krissy explains that it really is key to stretch and warm up before grabbing the weights.
If you already know all the ‘whys’ of mobilising and just want the ‘how’ from Krissy, then skip to the second half of the video where she walks us through her entire routine, covering upper and lower body mobility, and those all-important hip flexor openers. There are plank walkouts (my personal fave), twists, stretches, and rotations – it’s a comprehensive guide to feeling great.
So go check it out and take it as your reminder to never skip a warm up again!
