| 0:00.0 | Oh, hello humans of podcast land, welcome back. My guest today is Dr Sam Spinelli and we are talking |
| 0:07.6 | about how to design the perfect warm up routine. Everybody that exercises has to have some sort of |
| 0:15.4 | warm up routine and having been an athlete in one form or another for two decades, I still don't |
| 0:22.0 | have a clue. I didn't have a clue before I spoke to Sam about how to design my warm up routine, |
| 0:26.8 | so that's what we get today. What are Sam's biggest and best returning movements? How should you |
| 0:33.2 | design the actual routine itself? What are the principles behind it? How long should it go on for? |
| 0:38.4 | What are the specific movements you can do for upper, for lower, for squatting, for overhead work? |
| 0:43.3 | If you're going to do stuff that's involving some internal or some external rotation, if you've |
| 0:48.0 | got issues with your hips, this episode is so good. Sam really is a wealth of knowledge. You should |
| 0:54.0 | definitely check him out on Instagram as well. He's got an awesome Instagram. Obviously, if you're |
| 0:58.3 | not into training and fitness, this episode might be a little bit dry for you, but thankfully, |

| 1:16.6 | managed to harass them into giving us a full sponsorship on Modern Wisdom, which is lovely. Thank you |

| 1:27.7 | recommend. Today, I am talking about their superfood bites, which are little cubes of super healthy |
| 1:34.4 | combinations of different foods, like cherry and almond or coconut and lemon, or my favorite, |
| 1:40.4 | which is strawberry and raspberry. These little things are like crack. They're like crack. I can't |
| 1:48.6 | nothing else. I mean, you can't smoke them, but they taste unbelievable. And once you start a bag, |
| 1:53.2 | you will not be able to put it down. Also, their protein cronkeys are fantastic. The supergreens |
| 1:58.5 | powder is literally the only thing which is keeping me alive at the moment. They have a fantastic |
