Warm Up Like a Pro
Elite athletes don't rush warm-ups, they prime their nervous system for power and speed. Learn the right way to prepare.
If you warm up casually, you play casually. Muscles need heat, activation, and nervous-system readiness to perform. A full warm-up increases power, speed, coordination, and focus. Static stretching before intensity actually reduces power — save long holds for after.
A proper warm-up elevates heart rate, activates key muscle groups, and primes movement patterns. It's the difference between primed and, warming up during competition‚ aka starting slow and finishing frustrated.
Go-to warm-up sequence
- Light jog or dynamic movement
- Mobility + activation
- Sport-specific drills at increasing speed
