The Moji Minute - How to Incorporate Massage Into Your Lower Body Warm Up Routine

Watch this video to learn how incorporate self-massage into your lower body warm up routine using the Moji Curve PRO. Within 5 short minutes you can prepare your body for any workout or race. A proper warm up is essential for preparing the body for exercise. Massage should be a staple of your warm up routine. Incorporating massage into your warm up routine provides numerous benefits, including increased circulation, improved muscle elasticity and reduced injury risk. The tempo of a warm up massage is slightly faster than that of a recovery massage. The entire massage for your lower body warm up should only take around 3 to 5 minutes. When performing a massage for the lower body you’re going to use a top down approach, meaning working from the hips down our leg. You’ll be focusing primarily on elongation strokes to stretch out the muscle. Move from the glutes on to the hip flexors. From the hip flexors begin to work on the quads and IT bands. If you find specific sections of these muscle groups that are exceptionally tight, spend some extra time on these areas. After massaging the quads, begin to focus on the hamstrings and adductors. Finish the warm up by focusing on massaging your calves and interior tibialis. An ideal warm up should consist of a period of dynamic stretching and massage followed by light movement to facilitate a rise in body temperature. Utilizing this style warm up will help ensure that you have a safe and successful workout. In addition, you can utilize all of these self-massage techniques on your lower body before or after activity. Self-massaging after playing sports, working out, running or sitting in the office can help alleviate pain, reduce soreness, prevent injury and prepare you for the next day.
