I'm a mobility coach — if I only had a dumbbell, these are 3 exercises I'd never stop doing
Try these three exercises from a mobility coach using just one or two dumbbells.
These three dumbbell mobility exercises can be done at home with a set of adjustable dumbbells and offer numerous benefits for joint health, control, strength, balance, and stability. The seated leg-overs involve lifting one leg up and over a dumbbell, targeting the hip flexors, core, quads, and hamstrings. The half-kneeling weighted ankle pulses gently stretch and mobilize the ankles, which can improve squat depth and make lower-body workouts more accessible.
The Cossack squat exchanges strengthen the hips, glutes, core, hamstrings, quads, adductors, groin, calves, and ankles through a wide-legged stance. To perform these exercises safely, maintain proper form, engage the core, and breathe deeply. Beginners should start with light weights and gradually increase as strength and mobility improve.
