Add to your warm-up.

A few good ones to add to your warm-up:

Wall angels - these are awesome for anyone wanting to add more mobility to their shoulders. Start by leaning back up against the wall. Place the back of your hands up against the wall as if you were being ‘held up’ in a back robbery. Now slide your arms up along the wall so that your forearms stay in contact with the wall. Reach as high as you can up to the ceiling. Slide your arms back down by keeping your forearms against the wall the whole time. Try to tuck your elbows right down at your sides.

That’s one rep - perform six of these.

Lunge and High Knee - lunge backward on one leg. Once the lunge is complete bring that leg forward, driving your knee up into the air as high as you can. Repeat five to six times on one leg and then repeat on the other side.

Leg swing - this one is very simple. Support yourself with the wall. Now pick one leg and swing that leg at the hip joint through it’s full range of motion. Perform five to six leg swings on one side and then switch legs.

Perform these 3 exercises as a circuit and then repeat for a total of 2-3 rounds.

Now you are ready for your workout.
