5 Minute WARM UP Pre-Workout

Light and fluid stretching movements are essential to lessening the likelihood of muscle and ligament strains. It’s also a good idea to gradually introduce physical effort to your cardiovascular system so as to not shock the body into sudden exertion.

This 5 minute warm up workout is ideal for getting the blood flowing and the muscles warmed up for more strenuous challenges to follow.

As an added benefit, this is a calorie burning warm up that helps you get a jumpstart on your fat burning because of the multiple muscle groups used during the light bodyweight cardio moves.

Once you are finished with this cardio warm up workout, you will be ready to tackle any of the challenging strength, HIIT, endurance, toning or stretching workout.

*Do keep in mind that there are some special populations and individuals with certain health conditions (diabetes, arthritis, asthma, high blood pressure, etc) that should have a warm up that is longer than 5 minutes. Remember to always talk to your doctor about what workouts & program structures are appropriate specifically for you.
