Warm Up Right!

Warm Up Right!

Here are 3 movements I like to incorporate in my warm ups, especially when doing any upper body work out.

An effective warm up needs to do exactly what the term says: WARM UP THE MUSCLES!. Fire the muscle fibres in the muscle and to increase blood flow to said muscles in preparation of your heavier working sets.

Band Pull aparts are great at working your posterior (rear) deltoids, and your upper back. Great exercise to assist in improving posture and strengthening upper back.

External Shoulder Rotations works 2 muscles that externally rotate your shoulder (Infraspinatus and Teres Minor). Rotator Cuff muscles are extremely important for keeping your shoulders stable during repeated, strenuous activity.

Banded Chest Press are great to get your pectoral muscle fibres firing before you move into your working sets. It also provides support to work on controlling the movement without overloading the muscles.

Try these in your warm ups before your next session!
