5 Minute Running Warm-Up A

Running Warm Up Tips:

• Start off with slower, smaller movements and slowly let your body warm up.
• Adjust the moves as needed. If you need to do less – do less. If you feel ready to do more – do more.
• LISTEN to your body. Your warm up is a good time to check in with yourself from head to toe. Use this information to help plan your runs and recovery.
• If something hurts – stop. If something is sore – assess why and how bad it’s sore. If one area feels tighter, sensitive, achy, weak, etc… – assess why and how bad.
• Note any relevant info in your Running Log.
• End the warm up with a positive affirmation.

After this pre-run warm up… take some time to do any additional warm-up moves your body needs to feel ready to run.

5 Minute Run Warm Up-A:

Do each move for 1 minute (some of the exercises are 30 seconds each side). Follow along with the video or use a timer to do it yourself. Feel free to pause the video and do a few extra reps as needed. Shake-out, move and adjust as needed to get your body ready for a great run!
