The Classic CrossFit Warm-Up is 2-3 Rounds of 10-15 reps of :
Sampson Stretch
Overhead Squats
GHD Sit-Ups
Hip Extension
Pull Ups
Dips
We need a warm-up that will increase body temperature and heart rate, provide some stretching, stimulate the entire body, provide practice for basic movements, and finally, prepare for rigorous athletic training.
The essential features of our warm-up are that they include a stretch, extension and flexion of the hips/legs/trunk and pushing and pulling movements.
Scale movements, rounds and reps to complete in under 15 minutes.
Remember this is a warm up, not a workout. Focus on the movement standards and go for perfect form throughout!
Once you have perfected these movements, get creative! Try substituting movements to change difficulty or to practice different movements(ie, rope climb for pull ups, ring push ups for dips, pistols for squats, etc.)
Have fun getting stronger!

This might be a dumb question...but is this same warmup done every day prior to the WOD? Sometimes I look at the WOD and it is only like 5 mins of working out. So assuming the warmup is only 15 mins....a typical workup should only take 20 mins???? Doesn't seem like alot??

Former dancer here. I was just telling a friend of mine the other day that crossfit is the closest I've been to dance since retiring. The discipline and precision to form is very much like training for dance. Hearing the "Sugar Plum Fairy" while watching -- funny and nostalgic at the same time.
