@esmeknits I don't know why but I am just LAT every time to class. How late am I? I am the exact warm-up time late every time!
Thanks for chiming in!
I wonder, how often do you move throughout the day?
I think that perhaps the more a person moves generally throughout their daily life the ābetter greasedā their muscles and joints are, meaning theyāre better prepared to suddenly begin exercising. Compare that to most modern sedentary people who spend 8+ hours of their day sitting, and over time their bodies would become horrendously tight and unable to quickly adapt to exercise without said warm up
I often see your anti-warm up posts
But Iām super intimidated by the risk of injury or even possible reduced ability (whether that be strength or ROM).
Anecdotally I certainly do feel for things like handstands if I do only a short warmup for my wrists, they feel super tight for the first 5 minutes or until they naturally become warmed up through my workout. But Iāve never really tried it with other exercises.
One day, when Iām not a poor postgrad student, I think Iād like to hire your services (or at least try out one of your programs).
One final question if I may
You obviously prioritise rest and recuperation between workouts, but for skills like Handstands which arguably require daily practice, how can someone make sure they get adequate rest between sessions (I currently do HSs every other day, but my wrists always feel rough at the start of sessions)
