Warmup Upper + Lower Body to Revive & Energize OR to Prepare for Exercise

This is a super fun warmup if I don't say so myself!Show more

You can use this to energize when you're feeling a sleepy slump, OR to prepare for a full session of cardio, HIIT, resistance training or even stretching.

We'll do some simple, repetitive movements to a 'happy' little beat just to get the blood flowing, and bring some heat and nourishment to all your muscles, joints, brain and heart.

Adding the arms as we progress elevates the heart rate a tiny bit more and brings the attention from the legs to the whole body.

Enjoy that short set of pushups from the knees OR toes...or just hold a plank if you prefer.

Use this few minutes to "tune in" to your legs and feet and arms. Lay aside thoughts for just a few minutes. I often find answers and solutions come suddenly to mind while working out...but not until I've really let go and given that analytical, warrior brain a REST.

Go figure. Sometimes...maybe oftentimes giving your body a little jumpstart gives your mind a respite.

Praying for your health and peace today and always.
