The Best 5 Dynamic Joint Warm-Up Mobility Exercises

If you’re not sure what to do or used to the old school warm-up for 5 minutes on the treadmill business then this is for you… In this video I’m giving you 5 of my favorite dynamic mobility exercises for warming-up that will help prevent injuries to your knees, hips, back and shoulders.  These are very simple exercises that most people will be able to “easily” do. I used to do the 5 minute warm-up on the treadmill stuff for years before I found out about doing this stuff.  I wish I knew then what I know now.  I could have saved myself weeks of back, knee and shoulder pain. These exercises should be done after a proper full body foam rolling session, followed by some static stretching and then these dynamic mobility exercises.  After doing these exercises you can extend the warm-up by doing some dynamic warm-up exercises. Warming-up is critical to protecting your body from injuries and it should NEVER EVER be ignored or bypassed because you’re in a hurry.  Because trust me once you start skipping the warm-up you’re going to be much more likely to get hurt and have aching joints. Throw these exercises into your next warm-up routine, these dynamic mobility exercise routine can be done in under 5 minutes and will do wonders for preventing injuries.

  1. Hey Josh, thanks for the Dynamic Mobility Exercises.. If you could make another post for the STATIC STRETCHING that would be helpful..

  2. Hey Josh,
    I have shoulder tendonitis. What would be a good warmup mobility exercise for my shoulder?

    • Hi Adnan, I would first try some self-myofascial release on your shoulder area to help loosen it up.
