It is a great way to warm up I also do the same cycling for a brief 5-7 minutes. I would also suggest some breathing exercises to ready your body of the exercise to come.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Mikkel N.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">It depends: if I\u2019m going to do ballet&#x2F;dancing in general I\u2019m gonna do a dynamic warmup, which consists in a lot of leg, hip and feet work (also balance, back stretch,..). If I do a workout I also start with a dynamic warmup but something like Frankenstein&#x2F;soldier walks, high knees, runs, hamstring stretch,&#8230; .<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Isabella E.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I usually Jog to the gym and when I reach there I do full body stretching.

I should definitely include qsome cardio warm up too! <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Line E.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I like to do the seven minute workout that comes with the Fabulous app. If you add exercise as one of your habits and launch that habit in the fabulous app it will guide you through the seven minute workout. It is a high intensity workout that involves a series of exercises which do not require equipment, and you use your bodyweight. It\u2019s both cardio and strength combined. Also if you search dynamic warmup stretches in YouTube there are many different routines. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Daryl C.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I start from the head and work my way down. First, neck rolls, then shoulder rolls, back slaps, and all the way down to leg swings and ankle rolls. Then, I do a few shallow squats and shallow lunges to get my heart rate up a bit more before I take off down the track.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Alberto F.
