A sore neck, tight hips<\/a>, tense shoulders \u2014 these common aches can arise whether you\u2019re sitting at a desk all day or running around from dusk to dawn. But if you move more (and more importantly, smarter!), you\u2019ll help them feel better, faster. Just take it from movement master, Gregg Cook, creator of Daily Burn\u2019s Mobility program<\/a> who preaches that physical health isn\u2019t just about getting to the gym and busting through a heavy weight set or HIIT session<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cYour body responds to what you do and what you don\u2019t <\/em>do,\u201d he says. \u201cIf you\u2019re stationary for most of the day, you\u2019re not taking your joints through big ranges of motion<\/a> regularly, so they\u2019re going to start to get stiff.\u201d<\/p>\n

The thing is, mobility workouts don\u2019t have to be complicated. And you don\u2019t even have to get up from your seat to get loose. Enter this three-minute mobility workout from Cook \u2014 perfect for your desk (or couch!).<\/p>\n

Your 3-Minute Mobility Workout<\/h2>\n

You can follow along with this mobility<\/a> workout on your bed, midday at your desk, in an airplane seat or even on a bus out of town. All it takes is three minutes and a slow, mindful<\/a> approach to loosen up from head to toe. \u201cThis can be done multiple times throughout the day,\u201d Cook says. \u201cDo it four to five times a day and see how it changes your overall movements \u2014 and your spirit.\u201d<\/p>\n

You\u2019ll start the routine by slowly making circles with your upper body, helping you gain movement in your spine and stretching your neck. Then you\u2019ll work down to your legs, focusing on releasing tension in your glutes<\/a> and hips. You\u2019ll finish the workout with a chest opener paired with shoulder mobility. So sit up straight, press play and get ready to stretch it out \u2014 your \u201cahh\u201d moment is three minutes away.<\/p>\n
