# Mobility & Strength Exercises to Help You Stay Healthy This Summer
[ Deemer Class](https://www.1stclasslax.com/blog/author/deemer-class-bornbaltimore-md-deemer-has-playedthe-highest-levels-of-the-game-professionally-division-1-and-the-most-elite-high-school-conferencethe-country-deemer-is-widely-r) : Published June 9, 2023 Updated August 6, 2024
Seasons are winding down and summer is upon us. You and your son or daughter are signed up for several lacrosse events and camps and time is limited between events. What is one thing that can be even more important than simply working on your skills all summer? Staying healthy.
We cannot control injuries or things that happen in the game, but we can control how we proactively prepare and try to prevent injuries. Time can be limited. We are going to show you 4 mobility exercises you can take with you on the road this summer that can help you warm up and cool down after games and tournaments.
Our close friend Yoni Rosenblatt, at True Sports PT, was kind enough to work with us on a [4 week Injury Prevention and Mobility program for lacrosse players](https://www.1stclasslax.com/fcl-true-sports). Let’s take a look at our 4 favorite exercises.
### 90-90 Stretch with Wraparound
The 90-90 Stretch is a great one to open up your hips. Lacrosse players tend to get extremely tight in the hips (myself included!). The Wrap Around is a next level addition to a 90-90. This is one you can build strength in, activate, and loosen up your hips.
#### [Listen to My Podcast With Yoni Here](https://open.spotify.com/episode/4IZWAzK3ptbMjqv3YPf5qq?si=21ad2bf15d2c46c4)
### High Arm Copenhagen Runner
Copenhagens are a great exercise to strengthen your adductors. Adductors (ie, groins) can be a muscle that goes underdeveloped in a basic strength program. Quads and hamstrings get all the attention, but weak adductors can result in strains and aggravating injuries. Mix these into your workouts. They are easy to do on the road as well to maintain strength in this area.
### World’s Best Warmup
There isn’t much better than this 1 exercise that can help stretch your hamstrings, open up your hips, and then work on your T spine mobility. This is a great one to mix into your routines, as well as before bed.
### Lacrosse Stick Dead Bugs
Strengthen the deep core! What I love about this one especially is that you will have your stick with you all summer. No other equipment needed! This is another exercise that is so key for core strength and learning to activate your deep core. There is more to core strength than basic sit ups and planks. We want to learn to activate our core, and we can’t overlook its importance. Be proactive, not reactive, with these lacrosse stick dead bugs.
All of these exercises and over 40 more are available in our 4 Week Program with Yoni and True Sports PT. You can sign up [here](https://www.1stclasslax.com/fcl-true-sports). Let us know how we can help!

Hedging well allows us to "steal space". The best team defenses make dodging lanes and passing lanes look very small and crowded to the offense.
