Warm-Up

Loosen up before you load up.

A couple of minutes moving through these gets blood into the muscles you're about to use and keeps your joints happy about it. No equipment, no sweating, just movement. Run through all nine or pick the ones that match what you're about to do, then head to Workouts or the Workout Builder.
