Warm-up

The importance of warming up

As you may have already noticed if you started one of our programs or skill trainings, we always follow a full warm-up routine before we start any workout.

We warm up every joint mostly to prevent injuries, but also to make sure we are able to perform exercises with a full range of motion, which is important if we want to gain strength and mobility.

We always warm up in the full range of motion, which means we always move every joint as far as they can go. This is to prepare the body for every position it could take during or between exercises. Injuries can happen unexpectedly when moving in ways the body is not used to.

We've all heard about someone who injured themselves because of a "wrong move". In fact, there is no wrong move, there are only moves we were not prepared for.

No matter our level of fitness, we are always at risk of an injury that could have easily been avoided if only we had warmed up properly.

So if you are going to skip any part of our workouts, please make sure it's not the warm-up!
