I'm going to be following their little workout here. They've got a short exercise routine to follow—this is about a six-minute warm-up that you can do before you play pickleball. So I'm going to use all their tools. I'll start with the ball here. This little Yobow ball is a good warm-up tool. What you do is wind it up, get it spinning, and then rotate your wrist. It says 40 seconds for each arm. We want to do this for a wrist and shoulder warm-up. I'm going to do this for 40 seconds, then switch hands. I guess if you don't have a two-handed backhand, maybe you don’t need to do it for both arms—but I'm going to, just to be thorough. Left-handed is much, much harder for me—I can barely pick my nose left-handed without hurting my brain. So I’ll keep this going for 40 seconds if I can. Definitely need to work on my left-hand ability. All right, that's my shoulder warm-up. I'm going to toss that back into the bag. Next, the guide says to use the foot wedge. We're going to step and hold for two seconds—knees over toes—and do this for 10 reps, or about 20 seconds. What I’m doing here is stretching my calf out with my right foot. It says to hold each stretch for about two seconds, max of 20 seconds total. Now we’ll switch to the left side—same thing for 20 seconds. For the foot wedge, it also says to stand on it, stretch, and then do toe raises. So now I'm going from a stretch position using these wedges and doing toe lifts to warm up the calves and stretch the Achilles. Again, 20 seconds—10 reps. Now for the bands. This green one is the easiest—because I’m a wuss and have never done this before. I'm going to put this on just above the knees. The first workout is to step on the wedges, bend down—you can see how inflexible I am here. I'm having to lean forward. Let’s put these a little wider. Then, separate the knees while doing squats. It says: step on the wedges, squat with heels raised, and spread the knees. So I'm going down, moving outward, keeping the knees wide. Now we're going to step out—10 steps on each side. This is warming up my hips. I have really bad hip problems; they hurt all the time. I was super excited to see this, because it allows me to do something I don’t typically do: warm up before I play. This is something you can do off to the side—it’s only about six minutes total. That’s it for the legs. Now onto the resistance bands again. Last part—I'm going to take this band, and you can adjust the strength by grabbing closer in. We’re going to do 10 reps to get the shoulders warmed up—arms out to the side. Then after this, it’s up, over, and back down. Keep your arms apart and go across. I’ve got to say, I’ve never done warm-ups like this before—and my legs feel warmed up. My hips don’t hurt right now after doing these. Next—and last—they say to take this little massager. By the way, this is a super powerful massage gun. It’s tiny and compact, but it's got a lot of weight. The battery adds power and mass. It says to use this to warm up inside your elbow or any other area where you need to loosen muscles. So I’ll take it to my elbow and do a little warm-up like this. I’d say this Yobow system is a great warm-up kit. I’m very, very pleased with it. As I'm getting older, it’s more and more important to warm up and stretch. You can check the description below for a discount. It’s very reasonably priced for all the gear they give you, and the workout card is a nice bonus. It’s about six minutes total to warm up. All right—let’s go play.
