The #1 Warm-Up Exercise
So, I was half-a-bonehead and forgot to post this video here on the blog back when I originally put it up on SocialPaintball.com a few months ago.
Have a look at the reverse lunge with twist, one of the best full-body warm-up exercises around. Pretty easy to learn and it thoroughly prepares the legs, back, abs, and shoulders.
Keep it as only a warm-up movement/mobility drill, rather than a primary exercise, because there's no real way to safely add load and make it progressively more challenging.
And yes, in the video I'm talking within the context of paintball players because, in case you hadn't made the leap, SocialPaintball.com is the best video website aimed specifically at paintball players and I work with many paintball players.
The reverse lunge with twist is still a great movement for almost anyone, and should be a key player in all your weight training warm-ups.
