NEW PODCAST EPISODE: Do halftime re-warm-ups improve performance?

Athletes have a standard warm-up routine to get ready for competition. But what about halftime? It could be argued the athletes don't need to warm up again, but others might disagree. After getting passive rest during the break, are there benefits to going through a re-warm-up before the action continues? In this episode, we take a look at a piece of research that attempts to answer that question.

- To perform the To the Sky Crunch, lie on your back with your knees flexed and your feet flat on the floor. Ensure that your arms are extended above you, pointing toward the ceiling, to engage your core effectively. As you lift your upper body off the ground, focus on bringing your hands toward the ceiling rather than your knees. This positioning prevents excessive strain on the neck and emphasizes ab activation. Perform the crunches at a controlled pace, ensuring that the descent is as slow as the ascent. This emphasis on tempo enhances time under tension and maximizes the muscle engagement in your core. For more exercises, check out 100 Best Physique Workouts.

- If you are working upper body pushing and pulling movements, pair the dumbbell incline fly with a two-dumbbell chest-supported row. Holding a dumbbell in each hand, lie face down on a bench inclined at 30-45 degrees. Keep your arms extended down toward the floor and pull the dumbbells up toward your lower chest. It is important to keep the elbows close to the body.
