How to Warm-up For a Calisthenics Workout in Under 5 Minutes
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 жов 2024
- It used to take me at least 30 minutes to warm up for a workout. Sometimes, I would spend more time and energy warming up than I did actually working out.
Now, I'm ready for my workout in around 5 minutes or fewer thanks to three simple strategies.

best fitness guy on youtube .
shocked that you are 41.
He easily looks 5 to 10 years younger.
I was also shocked to actually hear him say "41"... but then I think back to all the years I've been watching his videos and I guess it makes sense that he would be!
Matt is just as energetic and focused in his videos today as he was in his early videos 👍
He is like the Jason Statham of the fitness industry bbb
Yeah, he's living proof that his approach works.
These warm-ups, plus your crawling techniques = Killer workout! Great advice Matt.👍
Thanks Chuckleberryfinn!
A good warm up should be just as much a training session as the rest of the workout. Not as hard on the body but certainly an opportunity to learn and progress.
Good tips on the basis stretches. I have been doing them for a week now, adding in chin tucks & cobra pose in a circuit fashion, 20 secs for each stretch.
3 x times a day: after waking up in the morning; after work in the evening and before going to bed at night.
I have gotta say that I'm feeling more energized now throughout the day and my motions on the basic chain movements are getting smoother too. The best thing is that the tense/pain feeling around my upper back & lower back is subsides.
Bro you don't look 41 you just look 32
Thanks Samarth S Prasad!
It's all the Ben & Jerry's keeps me young ;)
Excellent Information
Thanks Kal El!
Thanks Matt. While I always warm up and warm down, I don't like to spend a lot of time doing this. Its very helpful to get some useful tips on how to do this time effectively. Also you've confirmed one in particular for me: the stretching to full vertical extent. I've always done this because it feels good but was never really sure if it was beneficial, so thank again!
Hanging feels so good, you're right. It's one of the most beneficial thing you can do ona daily basis for posture and health
Been wondering how to warm up with Grind style. Thanks Matt!
You are 41 so....many years ahead Matt. You look better and bigger. Greetings from Romania!!
Yo Romania! Stay strong!!
As always, your tips are on point! Keep them coming please and thank you! Love your channel. Super authentic and no bs!!
Thanks Sid, All killer no filler that's how I roll :)
Love it ,I usually take about 11 to 15 minutes. I'm now going to incorporate the exercises I'm going to do.
That's not too bad, and some training can require longer warm ups than others too.
But I do think these basic exercises can do a lot for you and you'll really feel the difference in a few weeks.
I'm a big fan of using resistance bands to warm up. I have 3 sets of bands setup in increasing tension and I just cycle through one after the other without rest. This works very well to get warmed up.
The. Just the first set of my workout I'll do 50% reps to get that final warm-up pump.
As you get older the body's ability to hurt itself in the first 2 minutes if a workout is incredibly efficient.
Awesome thank you brother these should help loosen me out, I'm trying to get the most out of my workouts in 30 minutes after working a graveyard shift. It helps me sleep better too
Damn, hitting a workout after your GYS is totally boss. Way to get after it and keeping your workout efficient! 💪
More videos about basic stretching please!
Sure thing Dmitry!
I am doing the same thing for my workout, works perfect. I do australian rows and sometimes some pullup holds before pullups and pushups and banded dips before dips.
Its like warming up with an emtpy barbell for a heavy benchpress and ramping up slowly.
Perfect! Spot on analogy Walther Wagner.
We appreciate these tips Matt, keep up the great work!👍
Thank you very much john smith for watching, more great stuff to come!
Brilliant as always Matt!
Thanks Joshua Bush! Crush the week like a boss man!

Grease the groove baby !!
Love it. Was just talking to my kids about this today as they snuck up on me working out at 6 in the morning. They were asking me about warming up so I told them about how I do easy progressions of my exercises as a warm up after getting the wrists, shoulders, ankles and other joints more mobile. Its like you read m mind.
Love it!
You're a great example to your kids and when they become more active in sports later on they will appreciate your influence and getting after it for sure.
@@RedDeltaProject It is extremely kind and nice for you to say that. I must admit I also got my 11 year old to watch your video to learn how to effectively present a topic in a concise and clear manner. Kudos man.
Awesome 👏🏽 😎 videoclip
Thanks Alden Robinson!
Thx I use similar exercises along with jumping rope for 4 to 6 minutes
Love the jump rope, probably one of the best drills for waking up the mind and body to get ready for activity.
good one!
i got the tip #beactionready from your books and I think this one is so underrated!
also I used to be a 30-45min warm up guy.
my current believe is that if i am not ready to go hard on my exercise after 2-3 build up sets I am NOT ready for that progression yet.
A very good additude to have Marcello.
Sometimes I feel like I'm not ready to go hard during a workout and I take that as a sign that I may need more rest, sleep or time off too.
I differ a hell of a lot from you but your advice is always awesome
Always good to be different, there's so much variability from one person to the next. As Bruce said; Adopt what is useful, Discard what is useless and add what is uniquely your own.
@@RedDeltaProject you're a wise man
There are some things that I find you could waste some energy ramping up into, like explosive pullups. Usually I'll do those at the very beginning sets, I stop once i lose the explosiveness (pulling to waist height)
For sure, explosive and power work is best done in the beginning of your workout when you're fresh.
I just do CC trifecta, a few reps of face pulls and some light versions of the movements i’m doing that day...
Right on, the Trifecta has more value than most folks know.
For about two years now, I (42 btw) do a basic "anti-tighten" routine every morning. It worked wonders in being, as you say, action-ready and together with working out, it helped a lot to compensate my office job. Oh, and my warm up always starts with an exercise from one of your older videos where you stretch out your hands, thumbs down and circle them around so you have "thumbs down" when reaching back position... (thanks for that) edit: Here, this is your warm up i mentioned ua-cam.com/video/HOM4SexE4hs/v-deo.html
Excellent!
I had forgotten about that move, that was what I used to do before I was able to clasp my hands behind my back (Yes there was a time I couldn't touch my hands together behind me). It's such a great stretch for the abs too!
Thank you! Also are we going to get the grind style leg routine soon? 😁
Yep! Here ya go:

Hey Matt, you said that stretches didn't help you at all in one of your old videos what changed your mind?
Nothing, I still don't stretch and have little to no plans to do so, or at east the classic form of passive stretching.
instead I use active range of motion exercises, like the ones here that are still a strength exercise, that uses a big ROM. The mobility benefits are secondary btu the goal is still to get the muscles working.
Can you do cardio before your main workout for warmup?
Depends on the cardio and depends on the workout. If it's similar, like jumping rope before squats or running then sure. But I don't see much point in running on a treadmill for 20 minutes before a pull-up workout unless your actual workout is running on the treadmill and then doing pull-ups.
One exception might be if you literally want to warm up, like during the winter and want to raise your temp a bit.
I'm 38 so I usually take a while to get warmed up 😂😂
Early.... What should i comment?
Solve this:
One train leaves Dallas at 3pm. One leaves Washington at 2pm. If they are 1,000 miles apart and they meet exactly in the middle, how many pull-ups does it take to equal the power output of each locomotive?
@@RedDeltaProject -I was just joking-
@@theddbeats well,he is too😂😂😂
@@sieger358 _I know_ ( ͡^ ͜ʖ ͡^)
@@RedDeltaProject a lot of pull ups
If I don't do other warm up exercises my wrist/elbows/shoulder will pop and crack..and it's not tension control..I put tension in my muscles but The joints crack
The basic moves I gave in this video might help. Doing them daily might help "lube" your joints and make them a bit more pliable.
How long should you hold these stretches?
To clarify, when you warm-up you would do a regression of the exercise your doing and you would also do a couple of reps for the exercise your about to do. If this is correct how much
reps would you do for the regression exercise and the actual exercise to warm-up?
yep, warm ups are more art than science. I just go by feel than any sort of plan or structure. A warm up is basicly easing into the workout gently so your nervous system and metabolism can ramp up. There's no perfect planned way to do that as you're always different in each workout so play with it and do what feels best
Matt do you still use tension and building it up in the muscles while working out? Since i have applied this i have gained crazy muscle by doing push-ups dips squats diamond push-ups pike push-ups
For sure, it's my #1 priority.
Recently, I've seriously regressed my training to further improve my tension control, especially in my back. Today was the first time I've felt my lats be sore in years!
Congrats on your success and keep up the hard work!
@@RedDeltaProject wonderful its working wonders, that's 1 thing I try to focus to intentionally put more tension in whatever workout it do! what is ur opinion on supersets? as what am doing atm is supersets so I don't take a break but do 3-5 workouts after each other, then rest longer time period.
Can you front lever
Yep.
How long? That's another story ;)
Hold the power button your 41!???!!!!????
Damn straight, and I owe it all to fast living, cheap women and negative thinking :)
@@RedDeltaProject im deceased😂😂
He looks 27
41? i'd give you 10 years younger
Thanks George,
You don't look a day over 200 yourself there. :)

lol I love how you put this in the last sentence, but I can also tell you're training and working from a lot of experience. Well done in deed Eric!
