π₯ 15-Minute Warm-Up Routine
Based on mobility science, neural readiness, and visual performance
π 1. Joint Mobility Warm-Up (5 min)
Why it matters: Joint mobility increases synovial fluid flow, improves range of motion, and prepares your body for dynamic movements, reducing the risk of injury. Studies show that dynamic warm-ups significantly improve agility, reaction time, and performance in racket sports.
Do 5β15 reps of each movement:
π€ Neck
- Gentle neck rolls (3β5 each direction)
- Side-to-side tilts (ear to shoulder)
- Forward-back nods
πͺ Shoulders & Arms
- Shoulder rolls (forward/backward)
- Arm circles (small to large)
- βNo Moneyβ (elbows bent, rotate hands outward to open chest)
π€² Wrists & Elbows
- Wrist rolls (10 per direction)
- Wrist flexion/extension
- Elbow circles
