Nothing beats a motivation kill than walking into the gym at the very same time as the rest of the town. Have you ever stepped out onto the gym floor and every single piece of equipment you want is taken from the stair stepper to the rower to the squat rack to that perfect weight of dumbells? We have been there too and it is a drag. You have taken your pre-workout, POW already you have turned on your favorite playlist and you are ready to sweat but now what? Well, this doesn’t mean you need to turn around and walk yourself right back out of the gym. It also doesn’t mean you just stand there with your arms crossed over your chest or your hands on your hips and just weight with the most annoyed look on your face, ever. No, don’t let the comfort of your routine or plan get the best of you.
Instead, warm-up your body in a new way. There are plenty of ways to warm your body up that get your muscles nice and warm and your blood flowing. In fact, there are also plenty of ways to do this that require not a single piece of equipment. All you need is a little bit of space, your body and 10 minutes–your body will be warm in no time. Heck, maybe it will be even warmer than any warm-up you planned to do on the equipment.
