Fall is here and so is the cold and rainy season. It’s even more important to warm up your body during this time of year. Before every training session, a good stretching is great way to start up. Here are 5 ideas of warm up exercises you can do. Pair them with some comfortable athletic wear and you’ll be good to go for the season!
Jump Rope
Start with a regular two-footed jump, and as you get warm you can play around with other jump styles.
Alternating Knee Hugs
Stand with feet hip-width apart and pull one knee into chest. Keep shoulders back and core tight. Repeat, alternating sides. After a few repetitions on each side, repeat the motion but come onto the ball of the standing leg.
