0:00I'm going to focus on the lower body for this warm-up here.
0:04I like to use a lacrosse ball on the power plate to roll out my feet. I find that it's super effective and the pressure points on the foot really warm up to the rest of the body, so it feels really good.
0:15Here you can see me putting some pressure on the arch of my foot and then I'll pin my heel down a bit and finally push my toes down, stretch them out.
0:26After rolling my feet out, I like to put my shoes back on just so I have a little bit more stability when stretching the larger muscle groups as I tend to set the intensity on the machine a little higher.
0:35Here you can see me alternating between my hamstrings, calves and adductors. These for me are some of my biggest problem areas, so I find the vibrations incredibly helpful as they ease me past my comfort zone without feeling the strain as much.
0:50Here I'm stretching my quad and if you're like me and like a little more cushion under your knee, I'd recommend using a yoga block or some kind of extra little padding.
1:04I try to keep a good posture here and during this stretch, again, keep in mind that maintaining balance with intense vibrations can be challenging.
1:13Maintaining balance throughout these stretches is often challenging and I think that's yet another benefit of the power plate as it enhances proprioception and overall balance.
1:21So in this specific adductor stretch, I like to stretch both sides and ease into it.
1:25As you can really feel the inner thigh pulling here.
1:28So once I get more comfortable, I like to use my elbow to help push my knee out a little further, as you can see me doing right here, and that gives me a little bit more age for the stretch.
