Warm-Up: Full-Body Shakeout
A readiness warm-up to raise temperature, open full body, and prepare your body to move with Flexor cues. Session 6.
About this routine
Some warm-ups are targeted. This one is a full-system reboot — rhythmic, dynamic, and designed to raise core temperature before anything else on your schedule.
Warm-Up: Full-Body Shakeout on Flexor moves through neck rotation, arm circles, cat-cow, 90/90 hip switches without hands, adductor dips, bicycle crunch hold, half moon pose, air squats, and jumping jacks. That's nine drills touching neck, shoulders, upper back, chest, core, lower back, hips, hip flexors, glutes, hamstrings, knees, calves, ankles, and feet.
Rhythmic total-body prep
The sequence boosts circulation and mental alertness through continuous movement rather than static holds. Advanced difficulty reflects positions like half moon pose and 90/90 switches that require balance and hip control. Adductor dips and bicycle crunch hold layer core and inner-thigh engagement mid-flow.
