[@Dardusa23]

Thank you Alex for counting IW routine👍🔥

[@S1COLO2R]

thank you for this!

[@christophermoltisanti9595]

This warmup killed me

[@areyoutheregoditsmedave]

Did this warmup before working out today. My knee didn’t hurt later in the day like it usually does. I dig your programming. It’s fucking effective.

[@aaroni5074]

@John Cass the fuck

[@louisbynoe82]

I'm going to use this warm up as my main exercise..

[@IronWolf84]

Good for starters

[@aaronhane488]

No kidding, I tried his cardio punishment I had to reduce the volume in half and I got to three rounds. I will reach full 10 rounds without unnecessary rest eventually

[@angelsjoker8190]

You saw him breathing slightly heavy after this warm-up. If a guy who does like 500 burpees in a row starts to visibly breathe after a warm-up, you know it's like a workout for a lot of other people.

[@reflection21]

not even joking :D

[@TravelingThruLife]

Was thinking the same thing

[@MonacoRocha]

I started Training at 7 years old TKD KARATE Boxing Swimming Yoga Calisthenics LongDistance Running BJJ... way over 50 years of Training .. I'm 64 I warm up Slowly the whole body for about 20-25 Min.. Then Stretch out After Training.... VERY VERY IMPORTANT... Will keep you going Till you Die..... I started warming up at around 11 years old had an old school karate teaching who STRESSED IT !!!!!Great Stuff Iron Wolf..!!!!!

[@jimmywyatt4144]

We used to do these in the Army too. I was the best fit in my life when I done alot of calesentics. I'm 62 now and I'm trying to get back into it. I'm on my third week now and I can tell a big difference how I feel. I wanna thank you for your service and what you do.

[@bryanrolph]

Did this for 5 rounds as my workout to help with conditioning and getting back into routine exercise

[@juanr5853]

I love what you do for the community, Wolf. God bless you.

[@RLWarrior]

I really appreciate you sharing this simple and effective warm up. I have a tendency to over complicate things and get stuck in the starting blocks. I’ve been able to get myself to do this warmup then doing the actual workouts becomes natural. Breaking out of a rut feels awesome. Thank you so much brother!

[@BrooklynMoor]

This warm up was better more pre exhausting than his most recent done 1 month or so ago. This is one to build more to. 👍

[@swashbucklingadventures9929]

First and foremost, thank you for your service!!! I've known quite a few friends out of Pendleton. I was denied joining due to a broken femur. Liability was the word used.😔 I stumbled across your channel and very glad I did! These routines are incredible! I found your pre and post vids along with the one for busy people. I saved those 3 to get started. Unless there's something you recommend for a newbie instead of the one for busy people. Only reason I chose it was it seemed the easiest to start. Before I found your vids I was just doing pushups to get back into shape. I've already lost 20 lbs.(just focusing on diet)Down from 227lbs. and 6'3". Subscribed!

[@IronWolf84]

Thank you for the support brother, keep dropping the weight by being active no matter what way you can. Walking, taking the stairs, any kind of exercise and clean up your diet. Once you lean out and can do burpees, that’s when the weight will really drop.

[@losmiercoles]

You cut my warm-up time in half. Very effective and no bs, thank you!

[@donniecain4266]

Great info ! I was trained in the martial Arts by a Marine and he incorporated some of the aspects of your routine .At 62 I still do much of what you just demonstrated especially the jumping jacks ! Thank you for your service to our Country and thank you for your great workouts keep posting them !

[@mukthatumkur3324]

I have been using this warm up before working out and I love it! Can't believe how tight my hammies are, but especially when I wake up. Thanks Iron Wolf! I will check out your channel for post workout stretches.

[@juanalbeniz5525]

It happens exactly the same to me. The back side of my legs are sore every single day, specially when waking up in the morning. Regards and keep it up

[@datawolf2318]

Bro. This is amazing. Im going to use this for basketball and mma too!

[@IronWolf84]

Black Jedi glad you can take it and use it to be better, this will increase mobility and is great for injury prevention

[@johnbartholomew2381]

so old school... this is how we did in middle school in the early 80's

[@thomashinson139]

I do this daily. I'm 66 . Really helps No injuries. Thanks, Man

[@vincentrose9114]

This channel kicks ass. I train boxing w/ an ex-marine as my coach, proud to say! We do similar stuff, just straight forward good ol brutal conditioning, mostly bodyweight buy HIGH volume and FAST. I am definitely going to hijack some of these workouts. Keep up the awesome content!

[@damjanvranjkovic]

[@NickCooper74]

Thank you for presenting this warm up routine. I use it every morning before my workout and I look forward to doing it when I drag myself out of bed. Thank you sir.

[@DBASSDAN]

Start small, get bigger. - 10x 4 count chain breakers - 10x 2 count swimmers - 10x 4 count cherry pickers - 10x 4 count windmills - 10x 4 count squat thrusts (half burpees) - 10x Lunge & Twist - 10x 4 count mountain climbers I have done the same for the "Full Body Stretching Routine for Burpees and Calisthenics" video as well, find it in the comments there. Amazing stuff, wolf. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and training philosophies.

[@D3Studio007]

Yes, this is the warm up you've been looking for.

[@afonsolamy8099]

[@danoking69]

The mentality of ironwolf is WAY scarier than the intensity of the workouts he does. Ironwolf knows how to kick life's ass.

[@unknownsource4359]

This helped me out alot bro. I felt more energized during my workout by doing this warm up.

[@IronWolf84]

Hell yeah, get that blood flowing and ready for battle

[@unknownsource4359]

Its only right trust me I come from that school of hardknocks so we can relate on a human level. Much respect from San Diego. Chula Vista area

[@norbertbruenner1000]

Hello iron Wolf! Thank you very much for this Video, i wanted to ask you if you have a warm up routine or if 100 burpees are really your warm up ha ha! Again thank you for that dynamic warm up, i will definetly use it from now on! Greetings from austria

[@IronWolf84]

Norbert Bruenner 100 burpees can also be a warm up haha I start to feel much looser after the first clip of 100!! Stay hungry ! 🐺

[@DrRyanHooker]

1:08 When it starts for people that go back to this video to warm up

[@joshua-rf1iz]

Bump, good thinking thanks

[@davidagudelo2435]

Super cool for my HW man, keep it up with the good work. Oorah.

[@Brightandheavy]

This was excellent, better than what i was doing before

[@chrisL497]

I just did this as a workout bro lol....I’m starting to get back into shape been a few years since I’ve done any exercise besides my job of up and down a ladder daily. My ego told me I could do this then one of your heavy burpee routines, but my body was like “dude wtf are you doing to us” 😂 so turned your warmup into a workout but 3 times with a small break in between hitting replay. I feel hella good and gonna keep hitting this (honestly about 3x a week) until my ass and quads stop screaming at me. Thank you for this video man I needed something just like this. Respect ✊ coming from Belgrade MT!!!!!

[@IronWolf84]

That’s how you start! Outstanding! Do what you can and get stronger by the way

[@ElitePreacher]

Dumb question: Do you do this in conjunction with stretching also?

[@IronWolf84]

Stretching after

[@dahsshad]

Always use your warmups and stretches when i workout! Appreciate you! Blessings

[@IronWolf84]

They are the key to success

[@kerryc.7438]

I was Beat after that!Then I went right to the cool down video! Just getting started

[@TheBrutalSpartan]

Been following you and love the videos. Need to start doing warmups more. Does this warmup work before a run as well?

[@IronWolf84]

It absolutely does, this is the warm-up that I use regardless of the physical activity that I do

[@freedomcanada8397]

This is my new workout

[@MarcoVilela]

I see these videos and your performance and I know it is very much related to your dedication and the amount of work you're willing to put in, but i find it very hard to break the point when I just get tired after 20 burpees and start sweating and just think that I will never be able to get in shape and be better... I am trying but it's very difficult. But thank you for the inspiring videos and your mindset, all the very best.

[@IronWolf84]

Keep staying consistent and the results will come brother

[@MarcoVilela]

@@IronWolf84 Thank you, I am trying. Stay safe and thanks!

[@mrwhite6717]

Hi thier from australia iron wolf I love your channel and your work brother . I have a question if it's okay to ask when I do my burppees I put my legs on the out side instead of inside of my arms is this bad form.I see your form is exceptional and flawless . Any advice would be greatly appreciated Keep up the inspiration and great work. Cheers

[@galinashvartsberg524]

Warm up by Wolf is great❤️❤️

[@manschool4992]

BTW, can you do a vid, or do you have one, where you basically break down one burpee (prison style or whatever). Hand placement, how far apart, what you're thinking, etc. Don't want to overthink it, but it would be great to properly learn one burpee and get your thoughts before I try to do 100 wrong. Thanks.
