Ive created this blog post to accompany my Daily Bio-Energizers Warm Up Routine warm/#

video posted on YouTube.

Daily Bio-Energizer Warm Up Routine

This routine is designed to prepare you for your daily activities or to be done as a pre-
workout warm up routine. I personally use it for both, and often perform some of the
individual exercises several times though out the day.

Inspiration for this routine comes from my decades of experience as an athlete,


personal trainer and strength coach. Ive borrowed exercises from Alexander Lowens
Energetic Exercises, OSHOs Dynamic Meditation as well as several dynamic flexibility
and mobility routines that I have used as an athlete for many years.

There are 3 parts to this routine.


Part one consists of three Energizing Exercises. The Bow, Ground Reach and Shake &
Vibrate.

The purpose of these exercises is to energize the body with oxygen and break up
common muscular armoring of the neck, chest, shoulder, stomach, pelvic floor, legs and
feet.

Part two consists of five Orienting Exercises. The Trust Reach, Deep Knee Bend, Roll
Over Reach, The Scorpion and 90 / 90 stretch.

The purpose of these exercises is to orient, or perpare, the nervous and muscular
system for the Primal Pattern movements that well be doing though out the day and
during our workout.

Part three is The Warrior Pound (or Ground Pound).

Youll notice that this exercise in reminiscent of Native American dances and even
common battle preparation behavior exhibited by ancient armies. The purpose of this
exercise is to ground your energy, focus your intent and energize you for your day or
activities.

** NOTE ** a common objection to using this routine is I look and sounds silly or
those around me will object, theyll think Im crazy!.

To that I say first, if I can do this on YouTube and broadcast it for tens of thousands
of people to see, then you can suck-it-up and do it in front of the neurotic strangers at
your gym or your friends.

Be a BOSS. This means that you do what you know to be helpful and right for you,
regardless of what small minded people think or say. When you are a BOSS, people
follow you instead of you following the dictates of others. Youre BOSSNESS is
strong when you notice that the people who first laughed at you begin to imitate you.
Practice being a boss with these exercises.

The Bow

Ground Reach

Shake & Vibrate


Trust Reach

Deep Knee Bend

Rollover-Reach

The Scorpion

90 / 90 Stretches

Warrior Pound (Ground Pound)


I invite you to begin using this routine right away.

Yo Elliott, Just wanted to say thanks a heap man tried all this stuff out Ever since
watching your vids started to not care about the normal or average human lifestyle
or training routine, this works amazing, Im considering flying over to the states and
coming into your gym just to meet you and train with you personally some time and go
back knowing some stuff, This is great. and i highly recommend everyone try it,

Want to be strong? Do the things the strength gurus like elliot TMW and scooby have

Yo Elliott! Tried this workout this morning before my 2nd day of my new job and I can
feel energy surging up through my legs, ass and up my back! The last exercise, the
Warrior Pound, man that shit really pumps me up. Thanks a million for these, gonna use
the Bow throughout the day to keep me focused at work.

Dear Elliott,
The bow seems an important part of the warm up, but i have an anterior bulge, so I
guess I shouldnt do it, or should I? And can I do all the other exercises from this Bio
Energizer Workout? I am looking forword hearing from you!

Try exending at the hips instead of the low back by pressing your fists into your glutes
instead.

Ive been doing this for about two days now, I started laughing like crazy when everyone
in the gym started looking at me and then I told a couple people about this routine. Now
5 people in the gym I go to is doing it with me. I also feel like im in rage mode after I do
this, I feel pumped up and crazy just like in high school before a football game.

Hey Elliot,

Thanks for sharing this is a very cool routine! Just a quick question on the breathing.
Can you please explain the rationale behind breathing through the mouth? Ive always
been taught to never breath in through the mouth. Appreciate any clarification you can
provide!

Jon,

Yea, in a world of sympathetic overload it is a great idea to nose breathe since it


stimulates the parasympatheic. but with this exercise the aim is to CHARGE the body
with energy though stress.

By mouth breathing deeply while in The Bow position we force a stress response that
energizes the body in order to prepare for the rest of the warm up, day and workout.

Yo Elliot! i get a lot of cracking/popping in my right knee when coming up from the deep
squat. its not painful (yet) but there is a grinding/tearing sound that i also get when
doing low squats. seems as though my instantaneous axis of rotation (IAR) is off. any
stretches/workouts that i could do to get my IAR back on track?! i would like to take
care of the issue before it becomes a problem. thanks for everything you do! Adam

Hey Elliot , I love your videos. As an individual I have been getting stronger everyday,
mentally and physically thanks to you. I just want to thank you. I have incorporated this
warm up before I train and it really works! Im starting to advise everyone I know to do
this ! Strength Camp till I die.

Elliot. Enjoyed the new book. I am not a trainer or anything of the sort. But I enjoy self
learning on the topic of S&C and putting them into practive. That being said, I was
curious on the difference in philosophy with Pavel and John, on the number of days that
you focus on your core lifts, Deadlift and the Press. They both discuss in Power To The
People and Easy Strength, to do the core lifts as many days as possible, lets say 3-5
days. In your workout you are really only hitting those core lifts once. Is it to allow for
more time on the gymnastics? Not a critique, just curious on your view of their
philosophy versus what you say in GSM.

Steven. If that was a question geared to me then I would say Power to the People or as
some call it PTP or PTTP. Easy Strength is an excellent book as it has a lot to offer, but
nothing beats PTTP for its simplicity sake. If you are fairly well versed in S&C then Easy
Strength is great as it offers a lot of info and insight into different stages of our lives
and our goals.

Yo, Elliott, thanks for all the great stuff you pass along everything from the
bioenergetics and Atlas info to tips on improving my lifting to encouraging me to re-read
Emerson!! I am another among the ladies above who is probably not your typical
audience member but who absolutely loves your holistic approach to strength. Ive
always thought of strength training as one important part of becoming the strongest
version of myself yes, in those exact words. Cant thank you enough!
My question: During the first two exercises, are you breathing exclusively through your
mouth? I found that REALLY hard to do. My body really wanted to inhale through my
nose and exhale through the mouth. Inhaling through the mouth felt almost like I was
suffocating yikes!!

Thanks again. -T

Hey, Elliot is it normal for me to have gagging reflexes with doing the bow and the
ground reach, other than that awesome stuff!!!

Just tried this for the first time. Been feeling stressed and anxious recently as I am
going to Australia this week to go travelling for a year. Got lots to sort, people to say
bye to you name it. Could feel how I felt tight up and weak from the stress. Not how I
want to feel just before I go travelling on my own.

Performed all the exercises and feel 100 times better. Did the final ground and pound
with some native american music. Ly-o-lay-ale-loya to be precise. Was insane, I was
totally transported and literally felt this immense sense of primalness as my best
description. Just raw simple emotions. I cant explain it properly but all the stresses
(which for me a modern day ones) just evaporated and I was just a cave man again. I
led on the floor after and didnt think a anything. Just led there. It was liberating. Going
to look into meditation a lot more after this experience. Thanks!
