Warm-ups are a way of preparing for a training session — an on-ramp, if you like. They are also a great way to kill some time while you put down the cones.
Of course, you can also “weaponise” the warm-up in a no-time-to-lose kind of way.
If a coaching session is a social gathering, it pays to think about the world you are entering — and how you plan to close the door on the world you just left.
Skipping might just be the transition that does both.
The instruction is simple: begin. You know what to do — find joy in moving and let the effort find you.
Your job is to notice where people are, how they are moving, and the energy they are giving off.
And then close the door behind you.
