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:

Dan’s Fear of Failure Rant

https://howistayfit.com/focus/fear-of-failure-rant/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jRl_JMSj0mc&feature=youtu.be Dan’s Fear of Failure Rant Dan’s Fear of Failure Rant – random thoughts from the kitchen! Too many people waste their potential in life… a deep topic here! Clearly this dieting is taking it’s toll right now haha! It’s true though.  It absolutely kills me how many people I see waste their potential. This isn’t limited to fitness! People’s fear of failure paralyses them in all areas of their life!  They are scared to even try something in case they don’t succeed. Successful people are often idealised for their achievements.  But what you don’t hear about is how many times they had to keep trying and failing in order to succeed! There are no larger restraints on our potential than those we place on ourselves!  Be amazing.  Be awesome!  Get in the game. Have a go at least.  And if you get knocked down, learn ...

Traps Training

https://howistayfit.com/training/traps-training/ Traps Training   admin   04/02/2019 Big traps are cool! In fact I’d say having big traps is freakin awesome! Abs are obviously cool too. But the problem is that unless you walk around all day without a shirt on, nobody will even know you have that coveted six pack! But a big pair of traps on the other hand, are noticeable with or without a shirt on! Even while wearing a long sleeve shirt! I don’t think any other body part can get the same admiration and attention even while covered up! Trapezius By “traps”, I am of course referring to the trapezius muscle, that is visible on top of the shoulders, tying in the shoulders to the neck. In my opinion it gives the impression of a powerful strong physique! How to train your traps The traps are hit INDIRECTLY through exercises like deadlifts and rows. And to an extent presses, pull ups, and pull downs. They are also used in back squats. But to isolate and hit t...
