Warm Up Exercise Routine To Do Before Workout

[Jedd41]

dude...your gym is empty

[leemhayward]

@Jedd41

I usually shoot my videos later in the evenings or after hours when there is hardly anyone around.

[Jedd41]

@leemhayward ....makes sense...and I have a question: do you recommend doing some cardio before or after your workout?

[leemhayward]

@Jedd41

You can do both. I do 5-10 minutes before to warm up. Then I'll often do 20+ minutes of cardio after as a cool down / fat burner.

[SkillerJ0el]

We call the second machine a cross trainer in the U.K

[leemhayward]

@SkillerJ0el

Yeah, a lot of folks call them Cross Trainers here as well.

[maligunduz]

i run 20 minutes before work out.is it enough?

[leemhayward]

@maligunduz

How much cardio you do will depend on what you are training for. But I personally recommend doing 5-10 minutes of cardio as a warm up before lifting as a general warm up. Then if you want to do more cardio, do it after your weight training workouts.

[leemhayward]

@maligunduz

That's a good warm up, but you should still do some exercise specific warm up moves like I shown here in this video.

[vivmaidenised]

I am having a pain on rotator cuff area from last three days I guess it is due to lack of warm up before the weight training so lee how could I get rid of it.

[leemhayward]

@vivmaidenised

Well, you could follow the advice in this video and warm up properly before each workout :-)

[kaorine333]

thanks man

i always had problem with warming up but now i dont have to be worry about that anymore, it was really good, thanks alot

[tajulafham94]

warm up is really important but i hate doing it

[MysteriousSide]

thx dude

[dgkolday]

looks like STEVE 0



[stefvanhoucke]

can i do the warm up 15 mins before and then start training?



[leemhayward]

@stefvanhoucke

Sure, the main thing is that you are warmed up and limber before lifting.

[17thwonder]

excellent video Lee. I never warm up and I really should start to, thank you for the tips.

[twiklight]

hey lee i just wanted to say thanks for being my number 1 source for body building and strength training. I have been lifting weights on and off since I was 16. Now 10 years later I barely see any great results and i'm an athletic but too skinny 6ft 165lbs. It was not until I subscribed to your tips that I am starting to gain more insight on what I have been doing wrong. You share your knowledge freely and you are making better men out guys like me who are seeking knowlegde. Thanks.

[leemhayward]

@twiklight

Thanks for the comments, glad you enjoy the videos!

[LogWaft]

Kinda awkward but I don't have most of that equipment.

[TheGrandMasterGamers]

Hey im 14 years old and i bench 70 and lift 30. wen ever im dum liftin singlely on my arms i get a sharp pain near my wrist so i was wonderin if u have any tips for me on how to prevent that. also im only 5,5 so do u have any tips on a way of how my growth wont get stunned? plz reply

[xJOSHx1337x]

@TheGrandMasterGamers the sharp pain is just from where your wrists are taking some strain im not exactly and expert but i know what you mean because i get pain in my wrists sometimes from curling with a straight bar. Also benching 70kg or 70 lbs cus if you start at a lower weight and overtime increase it youll get used to the pain as with a lower weight youll barely feel it.

[LyOnS409]

Hi Ive just come across this video after I pulled muscles in my arms while doing weights at gym Yesterday. I'm only just starting out at the gym and as my arms are In some pain should I rest them properly or just go back to the gym and after seeing this video and realizing I'm not warming up properly should I just warm up and take it easier until there fine again?

[leemhayward]

@LyOnS409

Rest up for a few days and see how you feel. You maybe able to go back to working out light and just gradually build your way back up. Basically just listen to your body, if an exercise hurts, don't do it.

[LyOnS409]

@leemhayward Ok thanks alot.

[p0k3sMoT42o]

Wouldn't doing rotator cuff exercises before your workout put you at risk for shoulder injuries since those stabilizing muscles will be pre-fatigued?

[leemhayward]

@p0k3sMoT42o

No, in fact the opposite is true. If you go into your workouts with cold muscles you are more likely to get injured.

[bkedp]

Great video, saved straight to "favorites". I'm always looking for various ideas on pre exercise warm ups. Thanks Lee!

[chickenisbomb]

lol @ setting records

[rythmdivine619]

excellent...thanks..!!

take care



[chevyboi420]

maybe it is you whos the idiot to ASSUME that just because not as many people watch the warmup video that they actually dont do any form of warm up before a workout?

Further more i dont see why you care if people get hurt becuase they dont warm up.. i could be wrong, just throwin it out there.. not to mention the fact that there about 1000 "warm up" video's on youtube..

just my opinion tho. =)

Mahalo

[CaptianAwesome]

You can tell most youtubers are idiots because his pre-workout warm up video has 33k views and his bicep video has 215k

[NorthShorehomesales]

great stuff Lee! Thanks!

[chris2dbone]

[fitking1988]

[ano1871]

damn he looks like steve-o

[jesuisunique1]

Sorry I met a warmup

[jesuisunique1]

Can you recommend a workout when you're at home and not at the gym?

[shivaabc318]

man am 16 yrs old veg boy with 58kg i have the cuts but the muscles dont bulge suggest a gud exercise

[videomasterf]

@shivaabc318 do heavier weights if you want bigger muscles your toned if you have the cuts or your normal or close to being underweight if you want bigger muscles your going to lose some of the definition of your muscles when you get our desired amount of muscle use babyweights like 10-15 pounds and do serveral sets of 10 or so to tone your arms or which ever your working out to get your stuff back to the cuts

[dunknG]

@videomasterf i know im not the one you're talking to but do you mean 10 reps or sets of each

[leemhayward]

@alex2311

Always start off light and do several progressively heavier warm up sets.

[jibikao]

This is awesome pre-workout routine! Thanks.

[1antivirus4love]

thnx alot ,i injured my left shoulder which had kept me on rest for weeks when i dint do the warmup n stretch now i knew its importance and nice and easy way of warmin up.. :)

Yeah, we did some workout videos together in Las Vegas.

[noskcirre083190]

Cool!! How long have you been working out? I've been asking a few questions to Vince but the problem is he never replies to any of em'

[leemhayward]

@noskcirre083190

I've been working out for 19 years, since I was 12 years old.

[princep]

Thanks for the tips, you should really check out my pre work out routne

[TheKirkoswald]

I do something pretty similar , i use rower and or crosstrainer followed by some arm circles , and usually some 15-20 rep sets of whatever muscle im gonna work.

[AntiMale]

Wow! I knew something was wrong near my shoulder but I didn't think it was my rotater cuffs. They would ache sometimes.

Great video.

[peaceheaven4u]

Very Nice.... Great Video...

[WeeWonder]

what if i were doing say squats for 3 sets of 5, how many warm up sets should i do before i start the actually 3 sets and how much weight should i use

[speedfreak18ish]
