(up-tempo music)
- Bruce Lee's JKD, Jeet Kune Do, warm-up exercises.
This is a video that you want to save.
Make sure you save it because every time you work out,
before you do any training, any martial arts training,
you'll watch this and follow along.
Takes you maybe 10, 15 minutes.
Get the blood flowing, get your body warmed up before you
do any kind of technique and any kind of training.
Okay, are we ready?
- Yeah, that's it.
- Let's do this.
This also is to prevent injury, you know?
You always want to be able to warm up before you
start throwing hits, kicks and even before you
start stretching at times.
So, let's keep this going.
Twenty seconds!
Fifteen.
Ten.
Five,
four,
three,
two,
one.
Switch it up to jumping jacks.
Ready, go!
Ten.
Three, four, five, six, seven, eight,
nine, 20!
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight,
nine and thirty.
Good, just relax, okay.
Rotate those hips.
Circle them around.
We're all doing a good job, keep it going.
Good, opposite direction.
Rotate.
Excellent.
Usually I start from the top, all the way down
but we'll just kind of work into this.
Right arm across,
stretch that shoulder out, good.
Up and over.
And hold.
Good, what I want you to do is lean your body to the left.
Now sometimes you can go a little bit further, if you want.
Just depends on if you can do it.
Or just a little bit.
Good, relax that arm.
Left arm across.
Stretch, and hold.
All right, put it over your head.
Okay, and hold.
Now, lean.
Good, come back.
Relax.
Rotate the shoulders forward nice and wide.
All right, everybody doing okay?
- [Group] Yeah.
- Yeah?
Good, backwards.
Keep it going, don't get lazy.
I'm telling you,
this has to happen.
You do this on a every day basis
this is gonna start improving.
Even just the warm up
exercise in itself it's just gonna help you out.
- Especially if you work in front of a computer.
- Yep.
- All day, long day, this is a little bit of stretching.
- Yeah get up, walk around.
We all need this.
All right, stand to your left this way
rotate your entire arm, just like so.
Okay, now go backwards.
Excellent, all right.
Left arm, forward.
Good, backwards.
- Sometimes you're just so stiff, you hear some
cracking sounds.
(laughs)
(chuckles)
- All right, excellent.
All right now what I
want everybody to do, do this like pyramid.
Stretch the back out just a little bit here, and hold.
Good, now come back this way and stretch the chest out.
And hold.
Now you can do ballistic stretching if you like,
it just depends.
If this is hurting you, just hold
them out.
Good, relax.
Excellent, rotate the wrists.
Going back to that computer, yeah.
You want to stay away
from those.
That keyboard.
Not all the time.
You sit there, doing this.
Okay, rotate the other way.
Good, grab onto the hand and stretch the forearm.
- Make sure you breathe, don't hold your breath.
- Good.
Grab your fingers, pull them back this way.
Good.
Opposite hand, pull down.
Good.
Pull it back.
Excellent, very good.
Okay, so outside of the other things that Bruce Lee
used to do.
His warm ups consisted of very many things
and he would always change it up as he,
as you could tell he had a short life-span
but he was able to always change it up.
So, I like the alternate splits, but before we do that
let's just go right into the lunges.
So, lunge.
Okay, try to bring your knee down as
far as possible without touching the ground.
And then come right back up.
Okay, this is a good
beginning step to get your legs strengthened, okay.
I like this particular exercise.
Say, you're watching TV, you could just do this, okay.
You don't always have to sit there on the couch
the whole time.
Just sit there and look at it,
watch it.
Everybody doing all right?
- [Group] Yes.
- Good.
Excellent.
So about ten of these is fine, you know?
You can do another ten later.
But now, the next one is alternate splits.
Now if you're having a hard time doing it all in one,
here and then jumping from this to this, it might
be a little bit tense for you.
So, you can utilize a
slight bounce before you begin the next one.
And come in, okay.
Yes.
Good.
So, we'll do a max of eight, 'cause this is gonna burn
you out.
Ready?
Let's all do it together.
Okay, ready.
Alternate splits.
Are we gonna do the bounce or all the way?
I'll leave it up to the group.
(claps) Okay, let's do it.
Ready, first one, just split.
Down, up, one, two, three,
four, five,
six, seven,
eight, nine,
and ten.
Good, I just went two more,
are you okay?
(laughs) (claps)
Excellent, good job.
- It burns.
- Now, burpees.
You can do this with a push-up or without.
Okay, and if you're having a hard time with the push-up
I would just suggest doing it as slow as possible.
Going down, touching the ground.
Kicking back your legs.
Okay, if you can push up, great.
Then what you're
going to do, bring this up.
And then you're gonna fly up
in the air.
And down.
Kick it back, push up.
Up.
And that's the form of the exercise.
Everybody ready?
Don't get lazy on me, ready.
(song restarts)
Down.
One.
Two.
Three.
If you can't jump you can just hop a little.
Four.
Five.
The best you can.
Six.
Come on, two more.
Seven.
Last one.
All right.
Excellent, good job, good job.
You know in some cases you can get more advanced with
this.
You can put in other warm-up exercises
the way you want to
and create a work out routine throughout the week.
- There you go, that's a JKD warm-up exercise.
Make sure you practice, warm-up before.
