The #1 Warm Up to Unlock Explosive Linear Speed

In this video, the coach breaks down a structured warm‑up routine meant to activate key muscle groups, prime the nervous system, and reinforce sprint mechanics so that athletes can run faster with better efficiency and reduced injury risk right from the first stride.

Rather than just moving through generic stretches, the warm‑up sequence emphasizes drills that improve ground contact preparation, hip mobility, joint activation, and unilateral force production, which are essential for developing linear speed — the kind used in straight‑ahead sprinting in sports. By progressing through technique‑based drills such as foot isolations, skipping variations, and movement patterns that mirror sprint mechanics, the routine helps athletes “unlock” greater power potential and prepare their bodies more intelligently for high‑intensity speed work that follows.
