Improve your mobility in 9 minutes a day

What can you do in 9 minutes?

You could watch 1/3rd of an episode of The Office or 36 TikToks, cruise 9 miles at 60 mph, or do the Cupid Shuffle dance 2 ¼ times.

All of those sound like a blast. But I have a better idea.

With this, you’ll get more bang for your buck out of these 9 minutes than any Michael Scott scene or party dance can offer.

 You’re busy, I know. 9 minutes is tough to spare.

Here’s the stone cold truth. 

If you can’t make time for 9 minutes of mobility, you definitely don’t have time to deal with an unrelenting back, neck, or knee pain.

Chronic pain puts a damper on everything in your life. 

Close your eyes and picture your typical day. Now, imagine a thunderous storm cloud hovering over your head, following you everywhere.

You can’t run, you can’t hide. As you know, painful joints prevent you from:

• Working hard (work’s tough enough when you don’t have pain!)

• Playing hard (maybe on the basketball, tennis, or pickle ball court, or, heaven forbid, the golf course?)

• Getting the most out of life (so that you can dance, cook, frolic through a cornfield, or whatever you do in your free time without a care in the world)

You have 2 choices when it comes to your joint health.

You’re at a crossroad, and there are two routes you can take.

 Option 1 - You wait for your tightness and pain to get worse. Nagging aches turn into debilitating discomfort. There’s no need for a crystal ball to see physical therapy, surgery, or worse in the future.

Option 2- You put those precious nine minutes to spectacular use by performing this mobility routine. Your joints feel loosey goosey and you go about your day with ease. 

Essentially, you feel like the Tin Man just after he receives his oil from the wizard who is not really a wizard but just a fraud with an impressive fog machine and voice manipulator that is very advanced for the era.

In short, you feel great and pain free!

 As Robert Frost once said, and I’m paraphrasing, “I took the less common route and it paid off big time, man.”

Sadly, most decide to go with route 1. Life gets in the way and those 9 minutes slip right through your grasp.

If you take the less common route – one of proactive prevention – you’ll reap the reward of pain-free movement for decades.

Come on. For all of those amazing benefits, you can squeeze in 9 minutes, right?

Professional sitters, you need to try this.

Eric Cressy, one of the best strength and conditioning coaches in the field, recently posted this:

“If you can’t commit to being proactive, expect to have to be reactive eventually. It’s easier to do 15 minutes of self care per day now than it is to set aside 15 months for rehab down the road.”

There’s no argument. You’re going to spend time on your joints eventually.

You can do it beforehand by staying on top of your mobility work before you’re in extreme pain. Or, you can wait until it’s too late and spend the time in physical therapy or recovering from surgery.

Why not get ahead of it? At just 9 minutes per day, you truly have no excuse not to.

This quick and dirty routine is all about efficiency and effectiveness. No fluff. 

Just the highest bang for your buck movements that will improve your posture and reduce pain.

Designed specifically for professional sitters – all day, at a desk, in the car, and on the couch in front of an episode of Friends – these mobility drills will stretch the tight muscles and activate the weak ones.

 Your back, knees, neck, and shoulders will all scream in unison, “THANK YOU, human. Finally some much needed relief.”

This routine is beneficial for everyone. But if you sit all day long, you definitely don’t want to miss out.

Here’s the 9 minute routine to keep you moving well and feeling strong.

My mobility challenge to YOU.

Are you up for a challenge?

I’d like you to do the 9 minute mobility routine every day for 1 week. A total of 63 minutes out of the 10,080 you have in the week (that’s only .6% of your minutes!)

At the end of the week, I want to hear from you. I fully expect that you’ll notice improved range of motion, feel looser, and have less pain. 

If you do, please let me know!

If you DON’T notice any positive changes, I’d like to know that, too. 

If you feel exactly the same at the end of the week, just let me know what’s still bothering you and I’ll help you out.

If you don’t get relief from these movements, I’ll create a personalized mobility routine specific to you and your achy joints, free of charge.

 We are all special snowflakes - our bodies are different. I chose these movements because they will help about 80% of you about 80% of the time.

That said, there’s a small chance you won’t get the relief you’re looking for.

If that’s the case, don’t hesitate to let me know. I’d love to create a personalized program for you to abolish your joint pain once and for all.

With your joint health, a little goes a long way

If you don’t think 9 minutes a day can really make a difference, check this out.

9 minutes a day, every day, equates to over 50 hours a year. Over 10 years, that’s an extra 500 hours that you’re devoting to your joint health!

Show me someone that doesn’t benefit from 500 hours of mobility work and I’ll show you a liar liar with his/her pants raging on fire.

If you’re pressed for time, there’s no need to commit to hour stretching classes or yoga sessions.

The right routine, applied consistently over time, will do wonders for improving performance and reducing pain.

9 minutes a day, you can’t go wrong. Give it a shot and let me know what you think.

If you have any questions or need anything from me, throw a question down in this little box right here.

In the mean time - go get your 9 minutes in! What are you waiting for?
