The Walking Wapping Warm-up continues. For reference purposes, here's a recap of what we've covered so far.
We now focus on the lower body for the rest of the way.
Walking Wapping Warm-up: One-Two + Knees
Starting the second half of the warm-up with the busiest move of the lot: the one-two-knee-knee. So far, we've seen:
This next one is really just the one-two plus the knees, both of which we've already covered. But now we put them together, just to test your coordination! And warm you up, of course.
Calorie Counters
We interrupt our series on the Walking Wapping Warm-up for a quick chat on calories.
There are many online tools and apps for tracking the foods you eat. (I like myfitnesspal.) Most can show a variety of statistics on the nutritional composition of your diet. One of the most important values they show is calories.
Walking Wapping Warm-up: Knees
The Walking Wapping Warm-up series continues. So far, we've done:
Time to switch to some lower-body focus as we complete the first half of the warm-up. Yes, it's time for some knees!
Walking Wapping Warm-up: The One-Two
If you haven't been following along with our Walking Wapping Warm-up series, here's what we've seen so far:
Today we look at the next movement in the series: the one-two.
Walking Wapping Warm-up: The Cross
So far we've had The Introduction and The Jab. Now it's on to the next move in The Walking Wapping Warm-up: the cross. This is the straight punch with the rear hand. It comes across your body (get it?). For most people it's also the hardest punch, as in having the hardest impact. But this is just a warm-up, so that's not important. What is important is getting the mechanics right to get more of your body involved while staying efficient.
Walking Wapping Warm-up: The Jab
Last time was the introduction to the Walking Wapping Warm-up (so if you don't know what it is, check that one out first).
Now it's on to movement #1: The Jab. It's a simple movement, but like anything worth doing, it's worth doing right. Even in a warm-up.
