The fitness world is starting to come around now. There is still a lot of crap out there, but better concepts are becoming much more prevalent. There are myths floating around the fitness world that just never seem to be totally abolished. On the other hand, there are many incidents where certain theories or practices are being completely wiped out because there is thought to be a better practice. We are in an industry of extremes.

No one likes warm ups. They are often boring and slow, and don’t get your mind focussed on the task ahead. However, they are really important and people fail to get their bodies properly prepared for a session. Here I am going to give you a warm up that will not only get your heart pumping, but it will give you a large range of motion, work you dynamically and get you ready in under 3 minutes.Grab a barbell. Start with a lighter one, 10kg or less and see how you go. As you get stronger you can move up to an Olympic one, but you will find its an adequate warm up with a lighter bar. You are going to hold onto the bar for the whole time and will do these 5 exercises one after another, with no rest in between.
