Use this five minute active warm up before your running and walking workouts. In this warm up, I guide you through a series of dynamic warm up exercises as well and walking to prepare you for your workout ahead.

This warm up gradually increases your circulation to your working muscles, activates your running and walking muscles, and improves muscle and joint range of motion. It also makes the transition from zero to workout feel like butta. Enjoy!

Visit my YouTube Channel Jenny Hadfield for a visual demonstration of these exercises here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vL7wkpyQe6Y
