- What's up hockey players.
Kevin here from hockeytraining.com.
And in this video,
I'ma take you through a in one place
warm up that you can
do before hockey games
or practices so that you
don't have to waste any time
out on the ice.
Let's get right into it.
For this hockey warm up,
we gonna run through
eight different exercises.
The first is 30 standard jumping jacks.
Make sure your getting in
a full range of motion here
with both your arms and legs.
Next up we've got T-stab push ups.
And we will be doing 12 reps here.
For this exercise,
we'll perform a normal push up
but as we get to the top,
we will open up to either
side with a straight arm
pointing to the ceiling like
you can see me doing here.
So 12 total reps,
six per side.
The third warm up exercise
is your classic large arm circles
and we will be doing 12 circles forward
and 12 circles backwards.
From there we will go into
straight arm rotations
performing eight per side.
With your arms straight
out in front of you,
with your palms facing each other,
you're going to open up
to one side of your body with one arm,
while keeping your other
arm in front of your body.
Follow the arm that is
rotating with your eyes
and work on getting the
full range of motion here.
After the eight reps,
we going to switch to your other arm.
The fifth exercise is
single-leg hip circles
and we will be doing 12 circles
in each direction per leg.
For this one, we want to
get into prisoner position
with our hands on the back of our head,
and balance on one leg,
while bringing the opposite
leg off the ground.
From here we perform 12 hips
circles in each direction
like you can see me doing.
Try to stay balanced for
the duration of the exercise
but if you have to catch your balance,
no problem, just get right back at it.
Next, we have eight zombie
squats with reach throughs.
Start in a zombie position
with your hands straight
out in front of you.
From here we will squat into a deep squat
and as you start to stand back up,
you will reach through your legs
as if you were trying to
touch the wall behind you.
As your legs straighten,
you should be fully
reaching behind your body
between your legs
and then you're going to
return to the zombie position
and repeat.
The seventh exercise is shoulder t's
and we will be doing 15 reps of these.
While standing bent over with a flat back
sticking your butt out behind you,
extend your arms down towards the floor
with your palms facing forward.
From here, use your shoulder blades
to pull your arms out and up.
And at the top you should feel
a nice squeeze of your shoulders
blades for half a second.
The final exercise is gonna
be zombie lateral lunges.
And we will be doing five reps per side.
With your arms straight
out in front of you
in a zombie position,
you will lunge laterally into
a nice deep lateral lunge.
Return to the starting position
and repeat for five reps on each leg.
And there you have it,
you should be warmed up
and ready to crush it
without having to waste
precious warm up time on the ice
doing your pre game stretching.
