TikTok’s latest trend in mobility training has taken over everyone’s FYP. Mobility training exercises increase the range of movements and the motions your body can perform. These include flexibility, but also balance, pliability, and strength. Practicing the full combination is the best way to avoid injury.
One great thing about mobility training according to Evo Fitness Evolved, is its diversity. You can easily adapt it to meet your needs and your routine. From a pre-workout mobility exercise to a 10-minute full-body workout.
However, it’s important to listen to your body. Bring mobility training slowly into your routine as advised by Evo Fitness Evolved by starting with one or two parts of the body, rather than immersing yourself in a full-body mobility training session.
This TikTok trend has been viewed by more than 35 million people who have seen videos on TikTok that feature people promoting stretching exercises as a way to feel more supple.
If you want to run faster, jump higher, squat lower, lift weights more efficiently and achieve your ultimate fitness goals, mobility training is a must, according to TikTok users. Incorporating mobility and flexibility is vital when wanting to gain peak fitness and functioning.
According to research, if a certain part of your body has less mobility, you may find yourself overcompensating when using other muscles and joints: that’s how you get injured.
Mobility training also helps prevent muscles from becoming tight, immobile, and suffering from an all-round lack of movement — again, leading to potential injury.
The benefits of mobility training are plentiful:
- Promotes good posture (looking at you, desk-workers).
- Helps prevent knots and injuries.
- Relieves tension associated with sedentary lifestyles or over-exercising.
- Improves all-round functional fitness performance.
- Increases range of movement, helping us stay active and healthy longer in life.
- Reduces joint deterioration (prevention is always better than cure).
- Prevents aches and pains (and prevention… you know the drill).
- Helps build stronger, more adaptive muscles and joints.
Here are some mobility training trends making rounds on TikTok:

@jasonandlaurenpak There’s a lot of mobility hate recently – since when has attempting to improve range of motion and movement variability been a bad thing? 3-5 minutes a day of moving past your standard range of motion doesn’t seem like it’s that outrageous of a recommendation! #mobility #mobilitytraining ♬ original sound – Jason and Lauren
