The Best 2-Minute Warm-Up

Whatever exercise we are doing, be it running, cycling, gym work, etc. a warm up is always a good idea. Even when you start a yoga class, the instructor won’t take you straight into a deep stretch but will ease you into it. But many of us (I’m counting myself here) don’t give a pre-run warm up much thought, we are just happy to head out the door and get started.

So, what is a quick, easy and fresh way to get muscles and tendons limbered up for a run? What might feel so good you actually want to spend a couple of minutes on it before you head out? Well, for me it’s … press play and find out!

So, I hope that appeals to you and you’ll give it a try. Let me know how it works for you – drop a line below. Of course, you shouldn’t then go out the door at a full sprint, you’ll want to ease your heart rate into the aerobic side of running. It’s always good to set the first half mile at an easy pace.
