The Ultimate Guide to Mobilizing Your Shoulder, Hip, Knee, and Ankle Joints: The Around the Clock Exercise

The Around the Clock is a great movement to warm up the shoulder, hip, knee, and ankle joints. Start standing with feet hip-width distance apart. Pivot on the balls of the feet, turn the hips to the right, and reach up with both hands towards an imaginary 1:00. Twist back to the starting position. Repeat reaching towards 2:00, returning to the starting position, reaching towards 3:00, etc. until touching all 12 points on the clock. Complete one set of 12 repetitions.
