This sequence is the warm up you will complete before every workout, as well as on rest days. Going through this routine daily will lubricate your joints, maintain range of motion, stimulate your nervous system, and warm up your muscles.
I suggest doing this when you first wake up. Think of 3 things you are thankful for and focus on them as you complete this routine each morning.
Complete 5 of each movement. Then finish with 5 rounds of 5 squats and 5 pushups, counting 3 seconds on the descent of each rep.
Squats
– Feet shoulder width apart
– Hook your thumbs together and reach your arms straight up
– Push your hips back and down until hip crease is below the knee
– Knees track out over your pinky toe
– Heels stay on the ground
Push ups
– Hands below shoulders
– Squeeze your abs and gluten to hold a plank
– Elbows stay close to your body
– Chest touches the ground. Your hips do not. Your belly does not.
– Press up and lock your elbows at the top.
