🏃♂️ Think a 30-second brisk walk counts as a warm-up?
If you’re heading out for a run without properly preparing your body, you’re increasing your risk of injury before you’ve even found your stride.
A dynamic warm-up helps activate your muscles, improve mobility, and prepare your body for the demands of running.
Try incorporating movements like:
✔️ High knees
✔️ Grapevines (side steps)
✔️ Skips
✔️ Leg swings
✔️ Walking lunges
They might feel a little unusual at first—but your muscles, joints, and future self will thank you.
✨ A few extra minutes before your run can help improve performance, reduce injury risk, and make running feel easier from the very first kilometre.
