Dynamic Warm Up
Do whatever you typically do for a dynamic warm up. Even if it is just 5 min on the exercise bike or a light jog. Here is the warm up I have performed for the past few years. I do suggest standardizing the warm up. That way, if you have a base gauge of how you feel. If high knees usually feel fast and snappy and one day they feel heavy and slow. You may need some extra warm up time with some extra light plyometrics. If you typically feel no pain with walking lunges, but your knee is hurting more today, then you can perform some foam rolling for the quads and adductors and maybe a few extra stretches before getting into the workout. It just becomes another self check if standardized. jog down- back pedal back- repeat- high knees- lateral a skip down and back- walking open the gate stretch- walking hamstring stretch- karaoke down and back- a skips- walking lunges with an overhead reach use 20-30 yards of distance
