 6 Warm-Up Phases You Should Never Skip

A great workout doesn’t start with a barbell—it starts with a great warm-up. The Unbreakable system includes a 6-phase warm-up protocol proven to reduce injury risk and prime the body for peak performance:

  1. Tissue Prep – Foam rolling or massage to increase circulation and reduce tightness.
  2. Dynamic Stretching – Mobilize hips, shoulders, spine for improved range of motion.
  3. Activation Work – Fire up stabilizers (core, glutes, rotator cuff).
  4. Movement Prep – Groove the patterns (squat, hinge, lunge, push, pull).
  5. Load Priming – Light reps of your main lift to grease the groove.
  6. Breathing + Focus – Breathwork to center your nervous system and sharpen intent.

Skipping your warm-up increases your risk of injury, lowers performance, and slows recovery. Nail your warm-up, and your body will thank you.
