Warm Up Routine
1) Start in plank position, push hips up and back into downward dog position and then return to the plank.
Bring left foot forwards to outside of left hand (spiderman lunge position). Rotate your torso to the right as you lower your left elbow towards the floor and then rotate your torso to the left as you reach your left arm straight upwards.
Repeat this 5 times to each side i.e. Plank, downward dog, plank, spiderman, torso twists, plank.
2) Step left foot backwards, and stretch left arm upwards. Turn torso to right as right hand is stretched straight down and backwards as you lower left knee down into reverse lunge.
Return to standing position and then repeat to other side. Repeat 5 times on each side.
3) Stand with legs wide apart, feet facing forwards, and lunge to left as you reach forwards with both arms. Return to starting position with legs apart and arms down and then repeat to right side. Repeat 5 times each side.
4) Stand with legs comfortably apart, hinge hips backwards as you place hands together and place elbows inside either knee. Keep elbows in contact with either knee as you bend your knees, bringing you into a deep Asian squat position. Hold for 5-10 secs and then straighten knees so that you return to a forward flexed position. Repeat 5 times.
