Super-mobility
MILE 1: You feel looser due to the release of lubrication in your joints; blood flow increases to your cartilage, helping cushion the ends of your bones.
MILE 1000: Your range of motion is greater, your chance of injury and arthritis lower. Synovial fluid – your body’s naturally lubricating anti-inflammatory – is oiling the movement of your hips, knees and ankles. Increased muscle strength and weight loss have taken pressure off your joints. In fact for every pound you’ve lost, four pounds less pressure is being exerted on your joints, contributing to the fact that in later life your chance of suffering a mobility disability has reduced by 85%.
