You want to focus on blood flow, mobility and drills. Those are the 3 main components. The drills should center around the movement you’ll be focusing on in your workout, if there is a specific focus. Example calisthenics warm up with this framework: _______________________ BLOOD FLOW - 1 min: - Jumping Jacks (60 sec) MOBILITY - 4 min: - Wrist circles (30 sec) - Wrist extension stretch (30 sec) - Cat/cow (10 reps) - Shoulder circles (30 seconds, both directions) - Arm swings (10 reps) - Full squats w/calf raise (10 reps) EXAMPLE DRILLS - 5 min: - Pike to plank or “inch worm” (1 set) - Pike jack knives on stability ball (1 set) - Handstand wall walks (1 set) *** Drills will vary based on your focus for today’s workout *** You can skip drills if your workout is general; no specific focus *** Example drills above would be for a handstand press workout, just for example ___________________ As you can see, the ideal warm up for calisthenics gets the heart rate up (blood flow), gets your joints moving (mobility), and then runs through 2-3 specific movements based on the focus of your upcoming workout (drills). Don’t make the mistake of skipping the warm up. I mean, you CAN skip it - it’s obviously possible and you can still get results if you skip it - but trust me when I say that a properly warmed up body performs BEST. You also reduce the risk of injury because warmed muscles are more supple, so less likely to strain and more likely to use proper coordination in compound movements.

I’m planning to launch it later in 2020 :-) I hope you learned something from the video. I try my best to explain WHY we do these things and not just show WHAT to do. I feel like there’s plenty of videos out there showing the “what” but leaving out the “why,” and that’s not very helpful to you. When you learn the science and reasoning behind exercise (and general health practices) you’re more likely to remember and follow through. Thanks so much to everyone who watched this.
