Do Not Warm Up!!! Traditional warm-ups zap valuable strength and energy! Ultimately, performance suffers. Even worse, the typical warm-up will increase the risk of injury! If you’re tired of spinning your wheels and getting nowhere with your training then discover the real secrets to effective workouts. Dear Friend, The other day I was training at a local gym and witnessed a horrible tragedy taking place — a personal trainer taking his client through a warm-up! The first 10 to 15 minutes were spent on a treadmill followed by another 10 to 15 minutes of static stretching, plus tons of small talk. That's almost half an hour wasted on a so-called "warm-up" before even touching a weight. (Which, by the way, only lasted for another 20 minutes and was performed as a circuit on the machines before stretching again and then finishing up on the elliptical trainer for some more cardio.) I have a sneaking suspicion that many personal training organizations advocate this approach, and what's worse is that many trainers actually follow it. These trainers are doing a huge disservice to their clients. Not only is this a complete waste of time, but also it's also counterproductive! If this scenario sounds even remotely familiar, I’ve got the solution for you. One that will truly transform your workouts and lead to instant results! In order to experience any form of success with weight training – whether it be to improve body composition (i.e. a decrease in body fat and an increase in lean body mass) or to increase strength, speed, power and ultimately performance – you must have effective workouts. Just like any race, the start is crucial! The warm-up can make or break your workout. It is the most misunderstood aspect of training. Traditional warm-ups are seriously flawed. Quite frankly, most people shoot themselves in the foot before they even begin. I have spent years researching this subject, and in my journey, I‘ve discovered some of the most effective, cutting edge techniques from many of the world’s leading experts to compile this system. It is absolutely guaranteed to finally get you the results you deserve for your hard effort in the gym! "Time To Quit Messing Around And Start Getting Results!" Warm-Up To Strength Training DVD

The Industry’s Secret Weapon
They would start off with some form of light aerobic work for 5, 10, 15 minutes or more. Followed by another 5, 10, 15 minutes or more of stretching usually in the form of static stretching. And then finally, they would perform a set or two of the exercises they plan to perform in their workout using a really light weight for 15-20 repetitions. This is a common method used by many to warm up, but it is not necessarily the correct method! "Want Strength? Forget About It ... Warm-Up Facts You Need To Know! Before going any further, I need you to understand the facts about warm ups: Fact 1: Although aerobic exercise activates the cardiovascular system and warms the body, this type of warm up is only specific to the working joints. How specific is a stationary cycle as an upper body warm up? Think about it. Fact 2: You should actually teach the body to perform without a warm up. Yes, you read that right. What happens if a wolf attacks you in a forest, are you going to ask it to wait for you to warm up? Do you think that a caveman warmed up before he ran down a deer? When specific joint mobility drills are performed consistently, the muscles and nerves maintain a high state of readiness, making it possible to go from a deep sleep to running and fighting instantly!
Fact 4: A warm up should be intense enough to increase body temperature and cause mild perspiration, but not to a point of fatigue. It takes only 10-15 seconds of contractions to raise the body temperature by 1ºC and a proper warm up should raise body temperature by 1-2ºC (1.4-2.8ºF) to cause sweating; therefore, aerobic work as part of your warm up is not only unnecessary, it can be counterproductive! Fact 5: You can't make any appreciable strength gains recruiting too many motor units to stabilize, but waking up the stabilizers can help you make strength gains! Paradoxical, but true. Fact 6: Dynamic stretching as part of a warm up can be useful to decrease muscle damage and improve performance. Static stretching, on the other hand, will sedate your nervous system and make you weaker: two things you don't want before lifting weights! Fact 7: Training five times a week for 250 days a year, warming up and stretching traditionally for 30 minutes at a time, takes up 125 hours. That is virtually five days of continuous training time that could be put to more specific use. "Save 125 Hours A Year Of Training And Get Better Results!" Fact 8: Olympic weightlifting movements performed in a circuit can improve overall power production and motor skill coordination in a short period of time … assuming that you can comfortably perform each component with satisfactory technique!
Fact 10: A little resistance before power work goes a long way in improving performance. In athletics, warming up with a weight that exceeds a given range, either too light or too heavy, may result in an alteration of motor pattern. Fact 11: Plyometrics can be very useful during a warm up, but they place a tremendous amount of stress on the nervous system. If you do too much prior to training, it will decrease performance. However, if you do just the right amount, it can potentiate your strength! Fact 12: Doing too many reps during any warm up will increase lactate levels and decrease performance/strength since lactic acid significantly impairs the nervous system's ability to recruit high threshold motor units. In fact, people get injured when they do high reps for a warm up. Research indicates that pec tears from benching are linked to too many reps in a warm up! "Stop Wasting Time Your Time In The Gym And Start Getting Results!"
Do Warm-Ups Really Work? Research says YES! In a study by Rochelle et al. back in 1960, "participants warmed up and then threw a softball for distance, which was then recorded. At a later date, they were offered money if they could match their prior throwing distance without a warm-up. But despite the offer of a monetary reward, the subjects were unable to throw as far as they had after the warm-up." Fox et al., 1993 confirm that preliminary exercises, or warm-up, should be performed prior to a heavy workout or competitive performance and that, my friends, is the bottom line!

The truth is you cannot find another warm-up program on the planet that delivers this kind of firepower!
Warm-Up to Strength Training will provide you with the tools for the ultimate workout! Remember, it all starts at the beginning. If you’re like me, you’ve sifted through a lot of different products and a ton of information to find strategies that you could apply to your training. But it always seems like I have to go through volumes of information (I call it "filler") to find one or two things I can integrate into my system. Not here. You may not believe me now, but you will after you've incorporated these techniques and experienced the results. In fact, many claim that the results are dramatic! You can not begin to appreciate the value of a proper warm-up until you actually experience it! "STOP Spinning Your Wheels And Start Getting Results..."
Warm-Up to Strength Training has received quite a bit of praise. I can’t tell you how many emails I receive every week thanking me. It's been picked up by Quest For Advanced Condition, Muscle Up Canada, and Personal Training on the Net. Warm-Up to Strength Training has generated interest for seminars as well. In fact, I just presented on this topic at the recent Certified Professional Trainers Network (CPTN) Conference in Toronto. Here’s some of the feedback that I’ve received on Warm-Up to Strength Training: "Whenever I meet with John Paul in the office, he has a wealth of information to share. His DVD, Warm-Up to Strength Training, is fundamentally important for the field of weight training and personal fitness. He not only explains the warm-up routines, but also provides solid research to support his claims. This DVD is an excellent way for beginners or elite athletes to either prevent injury and/or make further gains in their routine. I highly recommend Warm-Up to Strength Training." Dr. Jay Mistry B.Sc, D.C., D.Ac. "Over the last 8 years working out with John Paul, I've come to realize how important a proper warm-up is for early morning strength training." John Kitchen "This is a high quality production. I would recommend it to any athlete looking to advance their training." Nelson DaSilva "Catanzaro has produced a highly recommended DVD: Warm-Up to Strength Training. This DVD will show you that while running or walking on the treadmill might increase body temperature - and thus 'warm you up' - this approach does not REALLY prepare you for a demanding strength workout. If you are the type of person who is always looking for an edge you will find it in 'Warm-Up to Strength Training'. John Paul shows you techniques that fire up your nervous system and takes you way beyond the traditional 'warming up'. The result of this is simple: You get to lift heavier weights. The effect is immediate. Do not 'warm up' for this purchase - just get the DVD!" Karsten Jensen "Since being introduced to JP's dynamic warm-up, I use it before every workout, every practice, and every game to help keep me injury free and performing at my best!" Andre Talbot "I really liked this DVD because it offered many novel methods to warm-up. My new favorite is the Olympic hybrid circuit No. 2. I feel energized and ready to go afterward!" Sandi Cruz "The Best Strength Training Warm-Up DVD The Fitness Industry Has EVER Seen!" High Quality Production
You know my first DVD, Stretching For Strengthening (1st Edition), was shot by amateur video. The lighting wasn’t that great nor was the sound and the camera shook every once and awhile, but the information was solid. How solid? Well, we sold out of that edition in no time – it was in demand and people wanted a copy! I was skeptical, at first, because of the quality and since I wanted complete satisfaction from everyone, I offered a money-back guarantee. You know how many people asked for a refund? Zero! No one! Sure, a few people remarked about the quality but all were impressed with the information. This time around, I made it a mission to not only deliver QUALITY INFORMATION but to also deliver a QUALITY PRODUCTION and that’s exactly what I did. I am POSITIVE that you will agree; in fact, it’s my promise to you! The whole team from graphic design to web design to camera and production did an outstanding job as far as I'm concerned. Our model, Anthony Belza, is the current head strength & conditioning coach for the Toronto Marlies (the farm team of the Toronto Maple Leafs). By the way, Anthony is not just all "show" as he may appear to be in the DVD. He is quite strong, routinely flipping 800-pound tires and performing bent-knee deadlifts with well over 500 pounds. Last time I measured Anthony, he was 198 pounds with 9.97% body fat so those numbers are quite impressive. He is what we call a classic fast-twitch dominant individual, and if you’ve ever seen Anthony train, he is very diligent with his warm up! Unlike many DVDs in the industry, Warm-Up to Strength Training is a TOP NOTCH PRODUCTION! Here’s a sample clip. Take Warm-Up To Strength Training To The Gym With You! I understand that some people want and need a hard copy to take with them to the gym. The Warm-Up to Strength Training DVD is equipped with a text insert so you can take the exercises to the gym with you. Each section provides a reference to all the exercises, allowing you to mix and match your own personalized warm-up scheme to suit your specific needs for that day. The combinations are countless. Time Is Of The Essence! Two Hours Is Too Long! This is why Warm-Up to Strength Training is 35 minutes long with information that you can understand and apply right away with NO TIME WASTED! Many people have told me that they just do not have 2 hours to spend to watch a DVD, and for most, even an hour is too much! "Give me what I need to know and nothing else!" That’s exactly what I did with Warm-Up to Strength Training – all meat, no filler! I Promise This Will Be "All Meat And No Filler" ... Or Your MoneyBack!
New Low Price!! Okay, So What's The Cost For This Incredible Resource? The information contained in this DVD is something people have offered me big money to teach them, and they always hope I'm exclusive with the material. They don't want other people to know their new "secrets." I have had many trainers come to me from all over just to learn a few of these techniques ... and these people were willing to pay a lot of money for the knowledge. It's hard to put a price tag on how valuable the techniques taught in this DVD are, but to me, they are like bricks of gold! I use them each and every workout – not only on myself but with my clients. I definitely practice what I preach! How much do people pay personal trainers and strength coaches for their services? How much time do people spend in pain because they did not warm-up properly? If I were to price this DVD based on what it’ll do for you, how it will change your life, I wouldn't be off base to ask for hundreds of dollars or more. It’s really that valuable! But I'm not going to charge you hundreds of dollars like you would pay if you came to me for my personal training services. I won’t even charge you $100 for that matter.

Fact 3: A number of researchers believe that many of the benefits of warming up before physical activity may be related more to psychological phenomena as opposed to being solely dependent on physiological mechanisms. In fact, it's been stated that optimal weightlifting performance depends in large part on your psychological status!
Fact 9: Certain balance drills can activate survival reflexes and momentarily reduce pain in and aroundjoints (due to the endorphin release and activation of stabilizer muscles throughout the kinetic chain) as well as improve performance. They will cause most people to feel a sense of improved ease and stability when performing squats, deadlifts, or any exercise requiring high force output in a functional (standing), unsupported position.

"A few weeks ago my colleague John Paul Catanzaro released a DVD called 'Warm-Up to Strength Training.' It shows a plethora of warmup tools ranging from Swiss balls to foam rollers to, of course, free weights. It addresses various methods of warming up, from the correct forms of stretching to dynamic movements using the pendulum approach. The DVD can be used by the neophyte lifter or the experienced strength coach, as it shows many techniques that I'm sure many of my colleagues are not aware of. Performing the techniques illustrated on the DVD will boost your chances of remaining injury free and enable you to use greater loads." 
"The Warm-Up to Strength Training DVD is geared to the recreational, amateur and professional athlete, as well as to personal trainers, strength coaches, and other healthcare practitioners. It features various general and specific warm-up methods including a spine warm-up, Swiss ball wake-up routine, Swiss ball warm-up techniques, balance drills, hip mobility exercises, dynamic stretching routine, stretching demonstration, explosive drills for the upper and lower body, Olympic hybrid circuits, as well as sample specific warm-up schemes." 
Find out how a Swiss ball can be used to pump fresh fluid through the spinal discs to nourish the tissue. It is estimated that 80% of the population has experienced at least one bout of low back pain in their lives – if you’re one of them, you MUST do these simple techniques before your workout!
Learn a simple chiropractic trick that allows for a greater neck stretch which can, in turn, improve mechanics during various exercises particularly rowing.

There are techniques and specialized routines for the upper body, lower body, and core. In addition, Warm-Up to Strength Training can be used to enhance various aspects of training including strength, speed, power, endurance, flexibility, mobility and ultimately body composition, muscle size, and performance.
