We all had different lockdown obsessions. Maybe yours was making sourdough or painting on canvas. Mine was doing mobility training. Every morning I’d activate and strengthen my joints, and guess what? I felt incredible for it – avoiding most of the pain I expected would accompany my new sedentary life

But much like the fermented starters that lived in bakers’ fridges, my routine has died. When the world opened up, my workouts once again became sandwiched between commuting and work, and my lengthy, joint-focused warm-ups were replaced with a quick stretch in down dog and some shoulder circles before hitting the squat rack.
