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.
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!

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 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.
Walking Wapping Warm-up: Introduction
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.
Merry Christmas!
Ho ho ho!
