Feel Better in the Heat With These Summer Mobility Musts
Just because the sun’s out doesn’t mean you have to take your workouts outside. According to a recent fitness blog, summer is a great time to focus on your training in an indoor gym environment—especially when it comes to mobility. At Semiahmoo Fitness World, members benefit from a cool space and expert guidance that make it easier to move, stretch, and recover at their local gym in Surrey, BC.
How Summer Impacts Your Need for Mobility Work
While the heat makes muscles feel warm, it doesn’t replace proper mobility training. In fact, without targeted movement and stretching, you’re more likely to overdo it or move inefficiently.
Training at an indoor gym gives you the structure and support to keep mobility in your routine—without battling the heat or humidity.
Mobility Staples to Mix Into Your Weekly Routine
Here are some great movements to try in your next warm-up or post-workout stretch:
Cat and Cow Poses
Great for spinal mobility and posture, this yoga movement is a low-impact way to wake up your body.
Hip-Focused Stretches
Lunges and the 90/90 stretch release tension and improve joint range in the lower body.
Quad and Hamstring Movements
Bodyweight lunges, resistance band kicks, and slow leg swings can all be used to prep the lower body.
Shoulder Rolls and Back Rotations
These keep the upper body moving smoothly—ideal for anyone spending long hours at a desk or lifting weights.
