What Does Warming Up Mean and How Do I Do It?
Learn how to effectively prepare your clients for the optimal workout.
Most people think warming up means stretching or just "getting loose"—but that outdated approach can lead to longer sessions, poorer performance, and more injury risk.
This webinar will reframe how you approach warm-ups entirely. We’ll walk through the latest understanding of mobility, tissue prep, CNS priming, and perception of tightness, and show you how to create warm-up strategies that actually make you or your patients feel and perform better.
The real purpose of warming up (and why most people get it wrong)
Why feeling stiff isn’t the same as being stiff
How to change the perception of tightness through movement and input
When stretching helps (and when it hurts performance)
How to activate the sympathetic nervous system to drive better output
The 4-part warm-up framework that fits any training session
