Ross, this looks very much like what I do after a workout. First I use the foam roller and then I do these stretches. Can you comment on the benefits of before or after? Also, I'm really appreciating your videos and home exercises - thank you! I'm starting to incorporate them into my IM training.
Thanks I am delighted you find them useful. I would prefer them before for two main reasons. First, I might concentrate better and give them the time rather than just trying to finish up and get on with the day. After a hard session these might be very easy to pass on for another day. Secondly, a warmup should do 3 main things. 1) increase body temperature, 2) promote range of motion and 3) activate relevant muscles. This routine does all three and is likely to benefit the session in those ways. No problem doing them after if you prefer but in my opinion, they could benefit the session so you might as well. There's nothing to say you can't do this as a fast standalone session though!
