Hey MWodies,
Today’s mission is an example of how to incorporate Movement and Mobility tool kit into your warm up. To be clear, your warm up should look like a warm up. You may choose to add some specific position improving tools on top of getting ready, but don’t make the common mistake of confusing mobility work with a solid warm up. Be that as it may, always feel free to drop some mobility work into your warm up if you know the effective warm up isn’t getting it done or if you’ve just got some plain old business with which to deal.
Today’s Mission: Start to think critically about how you might improve your warm ups with one or two choice Mob tools. Here are Coach Diane’s pre-olympic lifting mobility favorites as an example.

KStarr, Awesome video (as usual). One thing that would be really helpful at some point would be if you could talk about what you think a proper warm-up should look like. I’ve read and researched a lot on this topic, and what I have found is a lot of contradictory information. If you could do an MWOD about what good warm ups look like for different types of activities (e.g., running, powerlifiting, oly lifting, Crossfit Metcon etc.) that would be really helpful. Just getting your thoughts on what a good warm up would look like for even one of those activities would be a big help.Thanks.
Diane, awesome tips! love the rack opener, and i have missed that barrel roll.
i have a very,very tough time with one arm db snatches, i know i shouldn’t mix douches and snatches together.
but seriously, the problem with me is a super tight back, my arm leans to far forward which collapses my deep squat position.
just wondering if there is anything you done or prescribed?
thanks again
Ha! Dangling preposition…awesome catch.
Fantastic vid guys. Put things into perspective and got the gears turning a bit.
I definitely have to agree with Robby on the desire to see your take on a proper warmup, MWOD-style
Your warm up will change by the day based on the elements and skills that are in the wod. There is no standard warm up that is always effective. If you know there is something that you need to address that may be 1 part of the warm up, but the whole warm up would not remain the same.
OUtstanding! This is so helpful – again, thanks kelly! and diane
Great great stuff RE programming. I had a PT once tell me that he had CP patients with more flexible hips than me, so for me, I hammer my hips a ton every day, twive a day. Bands, couch, flossing of all kinds, and every move I can find on this site when I search HIP. Glad I’m doing it right. You rock.
Kelly man, you gotta do an MWOD for overpronators. They’re unsupple and they’re everywhere in sport!
Beautiful Video share in the post. good job
