I am often asked by my athletes, "Coach, what is a workout I can do in between our sessions together?" So I am writing this blog post for those athletes and anyone else who would like a simple VERY LIMITED equipment workout / warm-up.
I have developed this warm-up / workout using the vast experience of my coaches (e.g., Mike O'Brien, Mike Barwis, Dr. Kelly Starrett and others) as well as my own 10+ years coaching experience of coaching AND my own experience as a masters (I'm currently age 58) athlete.
Do as much of the following as you have time for and you can do these every day or prior to playing a sport like PICKLEBALL!
If you would like to make this more of a workout do the Joint Mobility Warmup at the beginning first and then complete as many of the movements as you have time for looping back to the beginning movement and do the various movements for as many rounds as possible increasing the rounds as you get more fit or have more time.
REMEMBER THAT FORM COMES FIRST AND NOT INTENSITY!
If you have a rowing machine or bike free to add that in to this workout as well.
