Treadmill warm-ups slow you down and cause joint cracking. Instead, activate your nervous system with hip openers, ankle mobility, dynamic lunges, light bounding, and explosive skips. This sequence makes you move like you're ten years younger.

Your warm-up is probably making you slower. A lot of people still use the treadmill as warm-up. That's probably why a lot of y'all, y'all knees crack like popcorn, you feel me? You gotta understand, a great warm-up isn't just about body heat. It's about the nervous system activation and joint prep, just like you see on the screen right here. Athletic warm-ups prime your reflexes, like balance and mobility, especially when you start getting older, which is inevitable. But let's fix that problem. Make sure to use hip openers, ankle mobility drills, dynamic lunges, and light bounding as well. You want to make sure you finish with light explosive movements such as skips, hops, or med ball tosses. You will feel 10 years younger, literally, and move like it as well. Stay blessed.
