This basic warm up routine consists of some simple stretches and gentle range of motion movements to prepare your body for your workout. Easing into any exercise routine is always a great idea and these light intensity movements are perfect as they are relevant to the exercises that you are about to do.
Ensure that when you are performing this routine that you move in a range that is comfortable and aim for a moderate stretch, especially at the neck, where it is ideal to maintain your gentle chin tuck. Hold each stretch for around 20-30 seconds. Use your breathing to transition from one movement to the next as demonstrated in the video.
