Man just follow alonged for 3 rounds doing this and stopping for rest and watching. I even had to use knuckles instead of flat hands due to wrist pain. What little bit I did was an energy booster and a pain eliminater. This type of stuff is great for strength and endurance when done right.

Love this routine! But this was an intense workout on my end. Was shocked to hear this is the warm up 😂 lookin good Ryan! 💪🏼

As a warm-up, it depends on your pace, ability, and the activity you're warming up *for* - so you don't really need to compare yourself. It's also a great standalone session if you keep moving.

Yes, I use it for warm ups, short sessions when I feel the need to loosen up my joints and as prep for things like handstand practice. Very useful tool!

Can't wait to see if I can do any or all of these :-) They are brilliant ! Thank You so much for sharing , Ryan 🙏🏻

I do this as much as possible and have incorporated other movements, even adding some weight in certain stages with great success. This was a game changer for me and thank you for sharing your knowledge. Very grateful for this.

Very happy to see the elements moves put together in this simple structure. One minute for each move, starting with the basics of each movement for the first round, then applying variations for the second round, back to basics for the third round, different variations for the fourth round, and finishing off with the basics for the fifth round, a nice way to cool down. Thank you so much for sharing this. Definitely going to do the follow along with this for my warm-ups and recoveries.

Elements....BORING? Who could think such a thing? This was a great video to follow along with AND let me know that I need to go back and add some Elements...uh...elements back into my routine. There are even a few moves that weren't in my original Elements program. The only problem is, GMB always makes me want to devote more time to my physical fitness! Please, GMB, find a way to add more hours to the day. :D

This is perfect. I did Elements last year, and recently completed Parallettes 1. Was wondering what to do next because (irritatingly) I can't buy Parallettes 2, and I had been thinking of returning to Elements and try it with more focus. But, *why* is this perfect? I think having the knowledge that this kind of structure is something you guys do yourselves helps a lot, and it's nicely presented in terms of "choose your own variations". Did it for the first time this morning, and as an unfit, too-heavy nearly-50 year old, the only thing it warms me up for is a nap frankly, but really enjoyed it. Elements gives you the tools, this shows you how to use 'em, in a way that the "flow" section of Elements didn't do (for me anyway). Would love to see more of these, thanks for making it.
