How to Warm-Up

Let’s say that you want to burn fat with short workouts.

How should you warm-up?
How should you cool-down?

Let’s take a look at that today, using Coach Bally the Dog as an example.

Every morning, just after sunrise, he and I head out into the backyard on the farm. There’s a big cornfield back there, and it’s about 100 yards down to a little river where Bally likes to swim and sniff out varmints.

Sniffin’…and stretchin’ out on the farm

He does a few quick movements before he sprints to the river. And when he comes back, he does a few longer stretches.

That’s the way we should operate, too.

There’s no need to spend 10 minutes on an elliptical machine to ‘warm-up’. That doesn’t prepare you properly for short, burst exercises like my 4-minute workouts.

So, here’s exactly what you’ll do to warm-up and cool-down.

Do one round of easy bodyweight exercises at a slow pace to prepare your muscles and joints for the harder exercises ahead.

For example, if this is your 4-minute workout…

The 4-Minute Coach Bally Bodyweight Cardio Session

1A) Squats – 30 seconds
1B) Mountain Climbers – 30 seconds
1C) Close-Grip Pushups – 30 seconds
1D) Total Body Extensions – 30 seconds
(Repeat the circuit twice with no rest to get in 4 minutes)

…then do a warm-up round of those exercises at a slower pace. If you need to, do the pushups from a kneeling position. You can also hold a plank instead of doing the mountain climbers. And you can do jumping jacks instead of total body extensions.

Just choose an easy round of exercises to warm-up your entire body before going into the harder circuit.

Now, once you’ve done that, you can go into cool-down stretches.

From Bally…

Woof, woof!

I just turned 10 in human years – or 70 in dog years – qualifying me for the senior’s discount at Denny’s. But that doesn’t mean I’ve slowed down.

Thanks to a good diet, short burst exercises, and my super stretches, I’m still running around like a puppy dog.

Sure I sleep a little more, but when you’re a dog, that’s what you do!

So no matter what your age, I’m proof you can be pain free.

And I want you to be pain-free too, even if you have tight hips, an achy back, or sore knees. These little stretches are the proven solution.

To a pain free and doggy filled life,

Roll around. Run fast. Give lots of kisses. Have a nap. Bark at the Moon. Chase cats. And never stop wagging your tail. That’s how you live a full life!

Woofity-woof.

Barky bark.
