Warm-Ups, Cooldowns & Recovery

Recovery is part of adaptation—not just doing nothing.

What happens before and after your workouts affects what you get from them. Here's the practical version.

Before training

General warm-up

Easy movement that raises body temperature and gets you moving—walking, cycling, light full-body drills.

Movement-specific preparation

Rehearsing the patterns you're about to train, like bodyweight squats before loaded squats.

Warm-up sets

Gradually building load toward your working sets so the first heavy set isn't a surprise.
