Have we discussed the importance of warming up? If you’ve ever read through the intros of my fitness guides, you know I preach about warmups and activations, so I wanted to share my go-to lower body warmup with you. It’s too easy to skip since it’s not the actual ‘workout’ but to let you in on a secret, your workout will only be as effective as your warmup. Need I say more?

Next time you need a lower body warm up but you’re lacking inspo, follow along with this video where I walk you though a step-by-step dynamic routine.

Lower Body Warmup Breakdown

All the deets of are included in the video but here’s a quick breakdown:

• How long should this lower body warmup take? About 5 minutes. Feel free to pick and choose from the moves I shared, or add on other stretches as your body needs.

• Who’s it for? Fitness lovers, athletes, beginners

• What you’ll need: just 5 feet of space (IYKYK, shoutout to my quarantine workout girlies!) Optional: resistance band and a bench
