Dynamic Flexibility Warmup

At U-District, we start every workout, regardless of personal training, sports training, or team training - with a method we call dynamic flexibility. The purpose of dynamic flexibility is to prepare the body for any movement that you might do in the workout - forwards and backwards, lateral movement, or twisting. We do this by walking 15 yards out and back, with a hop on the way back for each movement to increase the blood flow to the muscle. Traditional stretching is best for post-workout. Our main four exercises are 1) Knee to Chest, 2) Punters Walk, 3) Sumo Walk, 4) and Lunge with a Twist.

Nice form, Travis. Some great '80s music must be playing on the sound system. Tears for Fears, maybe?
