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.
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!
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.
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.
Warming up is an important part of training, especially for over-40 folks and those of us in locations that get cold in the winter. But warm-ups tend to be dull and limited in their effectiveness for a full range of movements. (Or mini-workouts that really need warming up to do.)
Enter the Walking Wapping Warm-up. We've been doing this at StrongFast for many years, starting as a preliminary warm-up for our kickboxing or mixed martial arts training classes (hence, "wapping"). But it crosses over well for all kinds of workouts.
Ho ho ho!
