Hyper-mobility, how it can affect your workout.

Hypermobility refers to the ability of joints to move beyond the normal range of motion. It can impact your exercise routine by requiring a focus on correct alignment, controlled movement, and avoiding excessive repetitions that don't engage the right muscles. When exercising with hypermobility, it's crucial to move the weight around your body instead of moving your body around the weight, maintain good stability and technique, and not lift more than you can control.

Strength training becomes essential for individuals with hypermobility to prevent weakness and improve overall stability, focusing on regular workouts three days a week with a long-term commitment to building strength. Additionally, exercise can help stabilize hypermobile joints, improve muscle strength, enhance balance, reduce chronic pain, and increase independence.

It is important to find suitable exercises that challenge but do not strain your joints, emphasizing low to moderate impact activities and controlled movements to prevent injuries.
