Youtube Warmup VideosBodyweight Warmup: Kettlebell Warmup: DESCRIPTIONIn this episode of the FIT40 Podcast, I break down a common debate I hear all the time… are warm-ups a waste of time? If you’re a busy parent over 40 who wants to stay strong, avoid injuries, and make the most of your workouts, this episode is for you. We talk about why skipping warm-ups eventually backfires, why doing too much is just as bad, and exactly how to find the middle ground with a simple, effective warm-up that prepares your body for real life, not just the gym.FIT40 LINKS✅ Feeling low on energy and out of shape but short on time?👉 Get the FIT40 Starter Kit here and start with short workouts and simple nutrition: https://fit40coaching.com/starterkit✅ Want a clear plan and someone to keep you on track?👉 Let’s talk about your goals and what you need in a Free Discovery Call: https://fit40coaching.com/discoverycallAFFILIATE LINKS:Try Tonal for 30 Days Risk Free: https://tonal.sjv.io/FIT40CONNECT WITH ME ONLINEFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/bryan.fitzsimmonsInstagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/coach_fitzz/⁠⁠⁠⁠Tiktok: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@coach_fitzz?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pcYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/@bryan_fit40 This is a public episode.
