Warm ups, Cool Downs, And Mobility Sessions
In this episode of "Building a Fighter," we discussed the importance of warmups, cooldowns, and mobility work. We emphasized that warmups are crucial to prepare the body for the workout and increase body temperature, which makes muscles more pliable. We also discussed various warmup exercises from shadow boxing to jump roping. In contrast, cooldowns help transition the body from a high-energy workout state to a normal state, aiding in recovery. We encourage the incorporation of specific exercises into the cooldown that facilitate relaxation and reduce the "fight or flight" state. We hope this episode empowers listeners to enhance their workout routines with effective warmups and cooldowns.
