Warming up before strength training boosts your performance, activates all major muscle groups, and protects your joints from injury. Dynamic movement now will also help increase your heart rate and prepare your nervous system for action. Take this time to get your whole body ready. Let’s start. --- Begin with marching in place. Drive your knees up and swing your arms naturally. Keep your core tight, land softly on your feet, and stay tall through your spine. Stay loose and keep moving. [Pause 15s] Keep marching, but now add arm circles. Stretch your arms out to the sides and start making small circles forward as you march. Let your shoulders wake up and keep your motion smooth. [Pause 10s] Reverse the arm circles now, making the circles a bit bigger but still controlled. Feel the movement waking up your shoulders and chest. Keep your core gently engaged and breathe steady. [Pause 13s] --- Switch to alternating reverse lunges. Step one foot back, lower your knee toward the ground, then return to standing and switch legs. Keep your chest up, move at a steady pace, and control the movement. Let your hips and knees loosen up. [Pause 15s] Keep lunging — focus on balance, and keep your core tight. Stay light on your feet. [Pause 15s] Now stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and move into dynamic squats. Lower into a squat, pushing your hips back and keeping your chest up. As you rise, drive up strong and squeeze your glutes. Stay loose and keep the motion fluid. [Pause 15s] Keep squatting, smooth and controlled. Wake up the legs and hips. [Pause 15s] --- You’re warmed up and ready. Every muscle group is activated, your heart rate is up, and your joints are primed for movement. Before you start any specific exercise, always try a few light reps first so your body can adjust and your performance improves. Enjoy your workout and stay strong — your warmup will pay off in every set!
