In this episode, we continue our Walking Football–specific warm-up sequence and break down exercises 6 to 10 — all designed to prepare players safely and effectively without high impact or running.

We cover:

1. A controlled activation drill to wake up hamstrings and glutes.
2. A balance-friendly lift-and-step movement that opens hips and engages the core.
3. A great whole-body drill that mobilises hips, groins, shoulders, and thoracic rotation.
4. A fun, social, football-specific exercise that gets players passing, thinking, moving, and working together at walking pace.
5. We also explain why rondos are so useful — improving movement, decision-making, defending, and confidence — and mention where to find deeper Rondo material in the Soccer Rondos book series.

By the end of this episode, you’ll have a complete, safe, enjoyable warm-up routine perfectly suited for older Walking Football players.
