3 Low Impact Moves To Make Your Warmup More Athletic




#1. JUMP:


Low impact jump squats allow you to practice acceleration and deceleration (producing force and absorbing force) without you ever even leaving the ground, making it more friendly to those who are prone to knee & back pain, or anyone new to the movement. If you tolerate normal jump squats well, go for it!


⏩ Start with adding 2-3 sets of 5 to your warmup!


#2 THROW:


Medicine balls work great for this, but sandbags can also work here. The goal is to keep it light and powerful, no need to load this heavy!


⏩ Start with adding 2-3 sets of 5 to your warmup!


#3 CARRY:


Many heavy household objects work great for this. Carries are great to train core and shoulder stability. If you don't have room to walk around, you can also do a static hold. The goal is to maintain good posture throughout.


⏩ Start with adding 2-3 sets of 20 yards to your warmup!
