The Energy Flow Warm Up



The 7 Point Warm Up is an evolutionary athletic preparation system,



The 7 Point Warm up consists of 7 exercises, completed in 7 minutes.



Each exercise of The 7 Point Warm Up energizes and rehabilitates Physical Dysfunction of the bodies 7 primary movement points. These are:

Ankles

Knees

Hips

Spine

Shoulders

Elbows

Wrists





The 7 Point Warm Up progressively increases the work capacity and functions of the body. Such as

Increased blood flow, Proprioceptive enhancement, Body temperature elevation, Correction of postural alignment, and Increased oxygen supply for the athlete



All of the above factors augment the potential for an athletes body to perform more effectively due to the stimulating effect of the Central Nervous System, also known as the bodies ‘Energy Highway’.



What is a Physical Dysfunction?



A Physical Dysfunction is when one or all of The 7 Points lack co-ordination or agility. Physical Dysfunction causes an athletes movement efficiency to be severely hampered, leading to decreased performance or even worse Pain & Injury.



What can cause Physical Dysfunction of The 7 Points?



Sitting at a school or work desk for long hours at a time

Not warming up before exercise

Poor Postural Alignment

Lack of flexibility

Using incorrect weight training technique

Poor nutritional habits

Experience and Research indicates performing The 7 Point Warm Up prior to every athletic endeavor has shown dramatic and fast results of an increase in athletic performance.



After consistently (usually after 10 practices) doing The 7 Point Warm Up, athletes will find body aches disappearing and athletic performance soaring.



The 7 Point Warm Up also self motivates athletes for the challenging tasks that lay ahead.



The 7 Point Warm Up should not be an option, always perform The 7 Point Warm Up before any type of exercise.



Go ahead and give it a try. I assure you that the results will be fantastic!
