Warm Up Information

Prior to any of the training within the Trident Defense Institute you should warm up. This will help in keeping you from injuring yourself. The TDS program involves a lot of quick movements, so without a warm up you increase your chances of injury. You want to do about a 10 minute warm up.

There are a couple of different ways to approach your warm up. You can do it by shadow boxing starting off slow, and then pick up the pace and intensity as you become warmed up. You should ensure that you warm up the pertinent muscles and joints for that days training, but you still want to make sure the rest of your body is warmed up also. Another way to warm up is through calisthenics and stretching. The same is true with calisthenics as with shadow boxing your warm up should be about twenty minutes. There is not any real difference between the two methods, they both warm and stretch the muscles and joints.

There are other methods of warming up like a short jog or a cardio machine. However, one thing you need to be aware of is something, such as jogging may not work all the joints and muscles we will be using. If you choose jogging or a cardio machine for warm up make sure you give a few minutes of stretching to the joints and muscles you will be using in your TDS training.
