Our warm up video has three different levels of exercise, one being the least movement, and three being the most movement. Pick the level that’s right for you.
You can pause the videos at any time if you are watching as you do the exercises. It’s also a good idea to have a timer ready for some of the exercises – you could use your phone or a cooking timer.
In this video, I'll be guiding you through some simple warm up exercises shown by Antonino.
These can be done sitting down or standing up, whichever are comfortable for you.
So keep your back nice and straight, bring one leg to the side and hold and bring back to the middle.
Good, well done.
Keep going.
Once you've finished the one leg you can move over to your next leg.
Yeah that's it, so it's a bit like doing a little mini dance on the spot.
So you have to stand up nice and tall and then basically lift one leg backwards and try and kick your bottom as if you're kicking backwards.
We're going to show you how to do ankle rotations.
Try to do ten but if you can't do ten, five is absolutely fine, or three.
And now we're going the other way.
Well done, keep going.
Really good.
And then we move over to the next leg.
Brilliant.
The next warm up exercise is ankles up and down.
Good.
Well done, keep going.
So you just stand up nice and tall and just slowly march on the spot for about a minute, if you can.
That's it, so it's a little bit faster than the slower one and the knees go up a little bit
higher like they do there.
