Everyday Warm Up

   The most important part of your workout should be an awesome warm-up! One that challenges your brain and gets your heart rate up. You are priming your body for movement and a lift!

   A good warm-up will get your blood flowing, which will increase nutrients delivered throughout the body. It wakes up your central nervous system, and gets your brain connected and firing! It will help excite the muscles and activate them allowing for optimal movement and performance. 

   Below is an easy to do warm-up you can do at home, in your hotel room, and at your gym! Try this warm-up before every lift! On off days try it first thing in the morning. This warm-up can be used as an awesome active recovery tool as well!
