In this episode, Alex and Joey discuss the secret reasons behind why we warm up in CrossFit classes.

It is not just about getting sweaty or ticking a box before the workout starts. A good warm-up helps prepare your body, practise the movements you are about to see, build confidence with scaling options, and give coaches a chance to spot how everyone is moving before the workout begins.

They also talk about why the warm-up is one of the most valuable parts of the class, especially for newer members, and how it can make the difference between just surviving a workout and getting the most out of it.
