Active Warm Ups

Often we are pressed for time when carrying out our workouts and this often leads to skipping our warm ups! Dr. Steve Young owner of Body Solutions in Voorhees NJ has posted a video on how to properly execute a dynamic warm up that is quick and effective. I posted the video below along with Dr. Young's description on... its benefits. 

Dr Young recommends you perform the active warm ups on both sides, but all 10 on one side then the other.

This active warm up sequence increases temperature of the muscles, activate...s the stretch reflex between your abdominals/core and your hip complex, and warms up the proprioceptors (things that sense positional changes). It's one of best warm up sequences to make sure your hips coordinate with your core properly. It's a must to add to your other slow speed active warm up routine for improved performance and decreased injuries.


Happy Training 
Coach Jason
