The Greatest Stretch In The World

One fundamental difference between athletes and gym monkees is an appreciation for the importance of an appropriate warm-up. When time is short, it can be the first thing thrown out the window, next go the tekkers and then the cool down. You may have succeeded in suitably exhausting yourself in the alotted time but what's the aim of the game? If it's to be the best you can be - ultimately faster and stronger for longer - then adopt an athlete's state of mind.

Prepare yourself to perform at your best... And if time really is short, adopt this dynamic stretching routine from Discover Movement. Watch the video below:


Best performed after a short 2 minute pulse raiser the routine prepares you by progressively moving and stretching your neuromuscular system in functional gross chain, full body, patterns. Warmed up and ready to go in under 5 minutes. Boom.
