Sidestep The Suffering: Rev Up With A Warm Up!

By Cassandra Hope · On December 7, 2012

Sometimes we want to get right down to business. However, not enough credit is given to the good ‘ol warm up. Throw it by the wayside risk suffering a tight shoulder, achy hip flexor, hamstring, knee and general lack of mobility.

So sidestep the suffering! Try this tried and true warm up for 1 week and I guarantee you’ll benefit from increased performance and comfort and experience a significant decrease in discomfort.

The Myofascial Release gets you ready to work by opening up the joints, warming the muscles and charging the nervous system.

Here’s how to do it:

Spend a few minutes on each of the following: (www.darbytrainingsystems.com under “videos” for visual tutorial)

Scapula
Chest/front felt
Glutes
Hips
Calves
Band release
Shoulder
Hip flexors

Dynamic routine (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=52kVZsOcUK0&feature=plcp)
Cat camel
Elbow to sky
Hip openers
Adductor opener
Hip side to sides
Knee flops
Shoulder activations

After you’ve completed your entire workout, leave the static stretching to grandma. Instead, try a little more self myofacial techniques (lacrosse ball) work. This will keep you limber and comfortable.
Watch more videos on my youtube channel (http://www.youtube.com/channel/UCcNwRT3uM80fa4LKfumJgZA?feature=guide), for updated techniques and tips!
