Dan's Dynamic Warm UpDynamic Warm Up

This is the full dynamic warm up / mobility warm up I like to do before each training session.
The video is on fast forward just so it doesn’t take too much of your time to see all that I do!
Even on rest days, I like to do this routine too, normally first thing on a morning time.  I feel it helps my muscles recover and leaves me feeling good and ready to start the day.
I don’t always have time to complete all of these movements.  It depends how much time I have.  Some days I will shorten it and skip certain movements.
I first based my dynamic warm up on Joe DeFranco’s Agile 8 routine – check him out! https://www.defrancostraining.com/
My warm up routine can be quite full-on and might be too taxing for some people. You obviously don’t want to tire yourself out for your actual warm up, so you might want to build up to the volume of warm up work that I do!
Remember, it always good to keep flexible and mobile when it comes to keeping fit.  Too many of us neglect flexibility and mobility, because lets fact it, it’s boring!  Also, it can be time consuming.  This is why it might be an idea to do some mobility work away from your workout time.  Maybe do some first thing on a morning .  Or perhaps stretch on an evening time while watching TV.  Just don’t neglect it!  Find a way to fit mobility work into your schedule, and you will find your recovery rate is better, plus you will stay injury-free for longer!
It is no secret that many injuries occur as a result of muscular imbalances, or due to tightness in certain areas.  Start addressing your weaknesses now, before they become more problematic!

FYI, here is the resistance mini band I use for my  shoulder warm up:

“Starvation Mode”

“Starvation Mode” It is quite likely that you have come across the term “starvation mode” before.

Here’s a common scenario You were trying to lose weight, so you decreased your calorie intake and stayed disciplined to your workout routine.  You were happy to see your bodyweight readings going down, and your physical appearance was beginning to look slimmer and leaner.  Then all of a sudden, for no apparent reason, all progress appeared to stop!

Is it worth taking caffeine?

https://howistayfit.com/diet/caffeine/ Is it worth taking caffeine? Caffeine is found in almost all pre-workout supplements.  It is found in energy drinks (like Red Bull, Monster, etc), as well as in coffee.  It is also present in various other things we often don’t suspect, like chocolate, soft drinks, and even cold and flu capsules. For the moment, lets ignore inadvertent consumption of caffeine.  I’m going to focus on those who intentionally take caffeine with the purpose of seeking an energy boost.  Considering how many coffee drinkers there are in the world, caffeine is one of the most commonly used “drugs” globally!  So many of us feel like we can’t even function before having that morning coffee! But what’s really the deal with caffeine?  And how can it effect performance? Mental and Physical Performance Let’s cut the chase: caffeine “works”!  It’s true. The “energy boost” experienced by th...
