KATYA’S WARM UP GUIDE

INTRODUCTION
WHY WARM UP?
Warm ups not only prepare your muscles and joints for exercise but
your brain too. Use your warm up as an opportunity to get in the zone
so you can concentrate fully on the workout to follow.

Warming up should never be rushed; it could be the difference


between a good workout or getting injured!

There are 2 main components to a warm up - something to raise your


pulse (e.g. light jog, burpees, etc), and joint mobility and dynamic
stretches (e.g. arm circles, waist twists, slowly deeper lunges)!

Let’s get you nice and limber to smash your workout and reach your goals!

MY WARM UP GUIDE
The typical duration of your warm-up should be around 10-15 minutes!
Adjust the length of your warm up so that when it is done, you feel as though
you are ready to take on your training! You can follow this guide, or pick and
choose and add your own!

POST-WORKOUT
WHAT ABOUT POST-WORKOUT?
It’s really important that you never stop cold after an intense workout!
Slowly cool down to bring your pulse down in slow intervals, and
de-load your muscles. This will help to lengthen out the muscles you
used during your workout, and improve overall function. Plus - it will
help to reduce the effects of muscle soreness!

WHAT SHOULD I DO TO COOL DOWN?


Try a 5 minute low intensity jog or a walk, and do some gentle stretches
for the muscle groups you used (e.g. leg and glute stretches).
