Begin with some muscle release work through foam rolling or using other self-myofascial release tools. Then move into a general warm up which consists of 4-5 min of low intensity cardio (walking,jogging,body weight circuit, plyometrics). Next a dynamic warm up consisting of movements similar to the ones we would be training during that session. Depending on their goals and sport I would implement specific core/balance/agility drills that would help improve performance and structural integrity. In addition depending on the age and goals of the client I would train or converse over proper movement patterns and provide resistance programs that are not only safe but effective for their given goal. Also would include necessary endurance or specific running to help improve cardiovascular system and become faster, more explosive.
