There are a million and one different ways to warm up, but we typically want to think about going from general to specific. This means we’ll start by warming up our body in general, then move to more specific movements that we’d see in our workout. I like to call this the “foreshadowing” phase.

If you’re familiar with lifting or if you’ve previously been an athlete, you probably know what a cue is.

A cue serves the purpose of directing your attention to an aspect of your lift that you want to focus on, improve, change, or implement to your technique. Not all cues work for everyone, therefore a good cue is personal, simple, and direct.

The online fitness space, magazines, and the people in our lives tend to make things much more complicated than they need to be. Try focusing on just a handful of things, and ditch the rest!
