Are you warming-up?
The Show!
This is an area that I love to focus on! Taking the moment to work on basic movements that will help me perform globally. If you are an athlete, warming up with purpose will be a game changer and also help mitigate the risk of injury. Something that will always stick with me while working with the Arizona Diamondbacks is, durability is more important than ability, let that sink in for a moment. Durability is more important than ability, if you are trying to teach your body to move fast (explosively) and you do not have the prerequisites to position yourself to generate force (strength), how are you assessing your program? What are you doing this off-season? In a strength training program it’s important to have step-by-step progression that will focus on building a solid foundation. A solid foundation consists of ongoing development of movement competency and movement capacity. Here is a simple warm-up we like to perform with our athletes and adults that will increase core temperature and address mobility demands.
