⏱️ Don’t have an hour to warm up? Neither do I.
Even as a fitness professional, I don’t always have a ton of time before a workout. That means I have to be intentional about the movements I choose.
When time is limited, I want my warm-up to cover as much ground as possible — hips, quads, hip rotation, and overall lower-body mobility — without spending 20 minutes doing random stretches.
Here’s one of my favorite 5-minute lower-body mobility routines:
1️⃣ Couch Stretch Static Hold — 30 sec/side
2️⃣ Couch Stretch Pulses — 15 reps/side
3️⃣ External Rotator Stretch Static Hold — 30 sec/side
4️⃣ External Rotator Extension Pulses — 15 reps/side
5️⃣ Hip Rocks — 15 reps/side
6️⃣ Hip Rotation Drill — 15 reps/side
The goal isn’t to do more movements. It’s to pick the right movements for what you need and get the most out of the time you have.
These are some of my go-to movements for myself when I want to get my lower body moving without turning my warm-up into a workout of its own. 💪
Save this for your next warm-up and give it a try!
