Why is warming up before a run so important?
In this video, we’ll dive into three essential warm-up exercises that are perfect for runners of all levels: inchworms, front lunge twists, and hip openers! These dynamic moves target key muscles in the hips, legs, and core, improving mobility, flexibility, and circulation. Hip openers help loosen tight muscles that support stride efficiency, front lunges with a twist enhance hip flexibility and core engagement, while inchworms work to activate the hamstrings, calves, and core for improved posture and range of motion.
Warming up with these exercises not only helps reduce the risk of injury but also boosts performance by prepping the body for the demands of running. Start incorporating these exercises into your routine for a safer, more effective run every time!
