What you'll work on
The warm-up you repeat before every class, no exceptions. It wakes up your feet and ankles, opens the hips and mobilizes the back. Eight minutes, no equipment, doable in socks.

Warm up before you start, and stop at the first sign of joint pain. If you have a recent injury, back problems or a pregnancy, ask a doctor first.
