| Hey Friend,
How you prepare for your workout can have a huge impact on the quality of your workout.
One of the most important parts of a workout program is the warm up routine.
Now there are different ways to go about "warming up". Such as doing some cardio to elevate your heart rate and physically warm up the body, you can also do light weight warm up sets before lifting heavy weights, and these things are very important.
But what you're going to get here is a pre-workout warm up routine that you can do at home before you even go to the gym.
It's a series of 10 different joint mobility exercises where you'll do rotational and circular exercises for all the major joints of your body:
- Neck Rotations
- Shoulder Rotations
- Arm Circles
- Rotator Cuff Rotations
- Elbow Extensions & Rotations
- Wrist Rotations
- Trunk Twists
- Hip Circles
- Knee Bends & Circles
- Ankle Rotations
For each of these movements do between 10 and 20 rotations for each direction. And if you are feeling particularly tight or stiff in any area - feel free to perform multiple sets to help release tension and improve mobility in those tight muscles and joints.
This total body warm up routine will take about 10 minutes, but it's time well spent, because it can help improve your joint mobility, flexibility, increase blood flow and circulation - which can help improve exercise performance.
But most importantly, these warm up exercises will help prevent injury!
When it comes to your workouts, nothing will set you back as much as getting injured. That's why taking preventative measures towards injury prevention is so important for making long term progress in the gym.
Give this routine a try for yourself and let me know how it works for you.
