Dr. Kelly Starrett

You're getting to know this carcass today.

And that might mean, hey, you are flying all over the place.

Suddenly, you're a little bit stiff from that plane ride.

Your squatting doesn't feel the same.

So we're trying to remind the brain of fundamental movement patterns.

We're trying to get hot and sweaty.

We're trying to wake up the nervous system.

You are doing this jumping, which is activating.

You're getting hot and sweaty.

You're shifting blood.

There's a lot of things that can happen.

But also, we see that this is a great opportunity to add in some movement.

and wait for it, play, right?

You can explore positions and shapes safely here.

Tell your brain, if I end up in this shape later on, it's going to be safe.

Some of those pass-throughs there, we're starting to see rope flow, kind of some of these physical culture ideas from people like Ido Portal, Fighting Monkey, we're bringing those things back into our warmups.

And a simple way to ask this is, if we treated your workout like it was a fight, you and I are going to fight,

what does our warmup look like?

It does not look like I'm laying on the ground, doing some foam rolling, right?

Like you're jumping rope and getting hot and prepping yourself and doing some hypoxic work and breathing and activating and integrating with the people you're, like we're about to fight.
