During what stage of exercise should clients perform mobility work?

Mobility work is most beneficial when performed during the warm-up phase of exercise. This is because mobility exercises help to prepare the muscles, joints, and connective tissues for the movements and demand of the workout ahead. Engaging in mobility work before exercise increases blood flow to the muscles and enhances the range of motion in the joints, which can improve overall performance and reduce the risk of injury.

Incorporating mobility work in the warm-up allows clients to activate their body effectively, ensuring they are physically and mentally prepared for the intensity of subsequent activities. Additionally, this phase is ideal for addressing specific areas that may be tight or overactive, allowing for a more effective workout session.

While mobility exercises can be included in other phases like the cool-down or recovery, their primary purpose is to optimize performance and readiness before the main workout begins.
