The Dynamic Warmup

The only warmup and fitness test you'll ever need.

What is a dynamic warmup?

Dynamic is defined as "(of a process or system) characterized by constant change, activity or progress."

A dynamic warm-up is a series of exercises that move from one to the other with very little rest and prep your body for a greater workload as the rest of your workout progresses.

Why should I do a dynamic warmup?

I have a dynamic warm-up that I do before most of my workouts and have the majority of my clients do at the start of their workouts.

It's a short full-body workout that targets the main muscle groups with movements that stretch, strengthen and warm up all at once!

The warm-up is consistently the same and can function as a stand-alone workout on days where you are short on time, not sure what to do, yet still want to keep working towards your fitness goals.

It's also a fitness test 😏

This warm-up also serves as a fitness test…

When I start working with a new client, we do the warm-up and track how many reps of each exercise they can do along with rest time and how it feels.

As the client keeps training, the warm-up becomes easier and easier and is a great gauge of their overall fitness improvement.

Try the dynamic warm-up below - or scroll down for the video to do it along with me!

Do each exercise below with as little rest as possible between them. Track your reps and results the first few times you do it, then again a month later.

If you do this warm-up 2-3 days a week, I promise you will get stronger and see improved mobility!
