Short answer: Use wrist rocks, arm circles, scapular push-ups, a short plank and easy incline repetitions. A warm-up should prepare you without creating fatigue.
Minute 1: General movement
March briskly, perform jumping jacks or use another comfortable movement.
Minute 2: Wrists and shoulders
Use gentle wrist rocks, hand opening and closing, and small-to-large arm circles.
Minute 3: Shoulder blades
Perform 8–12 scapular push-ups from knees or a plank.
Minutes 4–5: Rehearsal
Hold a 20-second plank, then complete two easy incline sets of five reps. Rest briefly before the workout.
Warm up first, then enter the arena
RepSaga makes the working sets count while the warm-up prepares you to move well.
