With WAC Personal Trainer
John Leslie
Start 2024 with a new fitness focus—
mobility! Prioritizing your mobility this
year will make your fitness routine, and
your daily life, move much more smoothly.
Create a new habit with this mobility
workout from WAC Personal Trainer John
Leslie. It takes less than 10 minutes and can
be done daily at home, in the office, or just
about anywhere. "Mobility and flexibility
are foundational to a healthy lifestyle," John
says. "Staying mobile puts less strain on the
body, decreases stress and injury risk, and
even aids in healthy aging. Try this short
routine every morning for a week and see if
you feel any different."
