Warming-up the wrong way before you workout could really screw up the workout. Keep reading to see exactly which warm-up is perfect for you.
I’m Coach Brian, strength coach here and I’m giving you a couple of different types of warm-up styles that you need to do before you work out. A lot of the time people just go right towards the cardio equipment and just spend five minutes of nothing but just going through movements in hopes it will prepare them for movement or the exercise. I’m not bashing cardio by any means. This is just one style of warm-ups that you can do to prepare your body for movement. This is not the best or the most impactful warm-up that you should do. It is efficient to getting the core temperature elevated, getting the heart rate elevated, but is it the best thing to do before you go do some heavy squats? Probably not. I’m going to give you three types of warm-ups that you should do, depending on the workout that you have planned for that day.

Obviously cardio is a nice little warm-up. Anything that you do on the cardio is good to elevate the heart rate, elevate the core temperature and just kind of wake-up your body a little bit. Five minutes, ten minutes tops is all you need. But the warm-up should be a gradual progression towards a higher intensity workout or warm-up, if you will. Once you get close to the five-minute mark you should be huffing and puffing, the body should be ready for movement and you really shouldn’t have to continue your warm-up. Again, cardio is great just for total body awareness and just waking up, but it’s also good if you’re a runner or participate in kind of more dynamic movements, things like athletic sports or athletic movements. It’s a great way to just get the body woken up.
What I personally recommend is dynamic warm-up. Dynamic movement is the second type of warming up. This is kind of more like calisthenics: body weight movements going through dynamic ranges of motion. A lot of athletes do this to prepare their body for movement, high knees, things like this and butt kickers, jumping jakes, quick knee pulls, quick lunge, stuff like this, leg swings, all the stuff that’s done in an explosive manner
