Warm Ups + Cooldowns

Hey everyone! Thanks for reading my first Week of Workouts on the blog! One thing I did realize that I did forget to implement into the routine each day was the warm ups and cooldowns I use each workout. How on earth did I FORGET that???!! Anyways, I’m fixing that right now.

Warm Ups:

For Back and Bicep Day:

Up and Overs 1×10 (there are two variations I do here, I’ll probably show a video on Instagram of the variations due to it being hard to explain exactly what I do)

Arm Swings 1×10 (each arm)

Pull Aparts 1×10

For Chest, Shoulders + Tricep Day:

Up and Overs 1×10

Arm Swings 1×10 (each arm)

Pull Aparts 1×10

Shoulder Rotations 1×10 (each arm) (there are three varations I do here. I’ll probably show a video on Instagram of the variations due to it being hard to explain exactly what I do)

Warm Ups:

For Any Leg Days:

Hip Openers 1×10 (each leg)

Leg Swings 1×10 (forward and backwards) (each leg)

Leg Swings 1×10 (side to side) (each leg)

Lateral Lunges 1×10 (each leg)

Cooldowns:
