Warming up is essential to avoid injury.
Going into a workout too fast can lead to poor performance and sudden strain on your muscles and tendons. Warmup should last 5 to 10 minutes depending on intensity. This involves stretching and short cardio to get your body and mind ready.
When it comes to stretching, be sure to cover:
- Shoulders
- Elbows
- Wrists
- Hips
- Knees
- Legs
- Ankles
For cardio, we recommend:
- Jump rope (3 minutes+)
- Short jog with bursts of sprinting (20 second jog, 10 second sprint for 3-5 minutes)
- Knee raises to chest
Stay tuned for our warm up video that will show you how we warm up, and how you can too!
