I never used to warm up.
Which explains why I got injured regularly.
Not only did I underestimate the importance of the warm up for injury prevention, I ignored how movement preparation can improve performance.
In the words of perform365 “A sub-par warm up = a sub-par session”. Thanks for the inspiration, Dan.
Designed by Ian Jeffreys, the RAMP warm up is a simple and effective system you can implement to get you 100% ready for any workout.
Let’s create an example.
I have a client who’s about perform a session with a heavy focus on the hip hinge movement pattern.
Their warm up may look like this:
Raise - Walking lunge with thoracic rotations
Activate - Shoulder tap plank
Mobilise - Banded hip thrust
Potentiate - Kettlebell swing (with intent)
