Here at T3 we’ve been focusing a lot on mobility exercises — from a30-second hip opener exercisetothe world’s greatest stretch(according to an expert). After all, the more mobile we are, the better our body will function. But while we’ve focused a lot on the lower back, we decided  it’s time to give our upper back some much-needed attention, along with the shoulders and, luckily, an expert has shared one exercise that can improve movement in both of these areas.

Mobility training can often get confused with ‘stretching’, but they aren’t the same thing. TheInternational Sports Sciences Associationsays mobility training ”helps you move better and improves your range of motion”. The less mobile we are, the more we’ll find our bodies tightening up and getting stiff, which can cause discomfort may eventually lead to pain.

It may seem pretty straight-forward, but its guaranteed to fire up your back and shoulders (in a good way). Once you’ve mastered this you can add in a lightpair of dumbbells(we’re talking no more than 2.5kg) to make it a little more challenging. However, as with all exercises, it’s more important to get your form perfect first, otherwise if you add weights in too soon you may end up injuring yourself.
