I totally relate to the maxim “our warmups are like most people’s workouts." I've discovered that my warmups are sometimes more intense than many of my peers' actual workouts. But in order for me to perform 1k pushups etc., I need to kick into gear with at least a 20 minute strength/cardio superset warmup. As an emerging trainer, I am discovering ways to make warmups a productive part of the routines I create for others. I really like the pyramid structure with interluding kb swings. That's the recipe for a perfect full body warmup.
The swings and pushups especially hit a lot of the main movers (hips, shoulders, elbows). It just feels so much better to go into the session with a bit of a sweat worked up even if it’s just 5-10 min of continuous movement that’s not just a treadmill walk. When I interned with the university of Wisconsin they actually periodized their warmups which nobody does. They would have weekly progressions still within the warmups which was a good way to build GPP in the offseason.
