Have tight hips from climbing on steep rock or stemming?  Are your hamstrings stiff from heel hooking?

This video from CoachJayJohnson.com will show you a quick warmup to loosen up your legs before climbing or training. It may suggest this as a warmup for running but it works really well for climbing too.

Based on Physical Therapist Gary Gray’s lunge matrix (don’t let the idea of doing lunges turn you away!), it involves five different versions of a lunge that target the hips and hamstrings- it’s quick and easy to do. Perfect to do while your climbing partner is getting tied in for their first pitch or before a training session…..
