4 Phase Warm-Up:
Phase 1: Bent Over Breathing (120s)
Perform 2 minutes of diaphragmatic breathing, while at the same time educating clients about posture and hip hinge. See video > Diaphragmatic Breathing Video
Standing with knees slightly bent and teach clients how to externally rotate shoulders > hinge from hip *Make sure back is flat. Initiate breathing with belly > rib cage and then chest, instead of initiating with chest. Breathe in and out of nose for approximately 15s each breath (5s inhale (belly falls) > 5 s hold > 5 s exhale. The purpose of this is to educate about the inhalation in the right order, which allows us to stabilize the core and prepare for the workout. As they continue to breathe they should feel the body relaxing.
