Ron Jones Dynamic Warm-Up
"Moving The World Better!"

Thousand Oaks Girls XC-2005 California State Champions
 Tuned for High-Performance with the Ron Jones Dynamic Warm-Up!

• "I got your Dynamic Warm-Up DVD and I think it's excellent! You come across as the honest, reasonable, intelligent guy that you are and the production qualities are top-notch, including the packaging. I reviewed the actual warm-up and I believe, as a long-time fitness professional and endurance athlete, that it's a 100% effective, simple AND powerful program for the start of any workout, game, race, or just first thing in the morning. We will be utilizing this program each morning at our CORPS Camp events in Death Valley and beyond. I salute and thank you for this fine effort! Chris Kostman-Los Angeles, CA (President/AdventureCORPS, Elite Pro Endurance Athlete, Race Promoter, Author, Community Activist)

• I am 15 years old and very active in football and baseball in high school. I injured my lower back and for two and a half months of going to our trainer the pain would not go away. Nothing they would do helped. I played with a lot of pain.  My Dad brought me to see you and you started me on the Dynamic Warm-Up and doing Core strengthening.  The pain was gone in 3 days. I continue now doing those exercises you recommend almost daily and have even shown one of my teammates who was having lower back pain your Dynamic Warm-Up. It has been a couple months now and I can tell my flexibility and strength has improved greatly.  Derek Barnes (Central California)

• GREEEEEEEEEAT Job! The video was excellent. I am so glad I purchased it because it explained the progression of each exercise and you did a wonderful job keeping it simple...The pace of each description was excellent.  The video was tastefully done--the graphics copy and the editing music all was great. I have seen many videos, and I have to say yours was one of the best...I can see why companies would want to use this program for their employees because of the functional aspect of the video...Overall, it was great and it helped to see the exercises performed individually. Keep up the fun work.  In Health,  Birgitt Haderlein-Houston TX (Wellcoach/Trainer, ToFitYou.Com)

• "I have been using your Dynamic Warm-Up personally and with the Southern California Thousand Oaks High School Cross Country team daily for a couple of months now. It is an integral part of our program. The TOHS Girls Cross Country team recently won the California Division I State Championships. The girls included the Dynamic Warm-Up one hour before race time at Woodward Park in Fresno. Coming into the meet, we were ranked #5 and taking on the top ranked team, Buchanan of Fresno, on their home course. Our girls performed well and easily captured the State title. Thank you very much for your work, which I believe contributed to our championship season. Now that I am moving onto to coaching at Pepperdine University, I intend to add your Dynamic Warm-Ups. And, I can assure you the entire Track & Field team at Thousand Oaks High School will be doing your Dynamic Warm-Up prior to practice each day this spring."  Robert Radnoti-Malibu, CA (Head XC Coach, Pepperdine University)

• "At the Wellcoaches' Summit in April, 2006, I not only had the privilege of speaking on relational flow and emotional intelligence, I also had the privilege of meeting Ron Jones, an American College of Sports Medicine Health/Fitness Instructor with a Masters Degree in Kinesiology/Sport & Exercise Psychology. Ron was a delight to meet, not only as a person but also as a resource on stretching.  I have written before about the importance of dynamic rather than static stretching.  We risk injury when we settle into a position and then hold a stretch for an extended period of time, especially if we reach beyond the flexibility and elasticity of the muscle. That's just not how our bodies are meant to stretch. Our bodies are designed to move, and dynamic stretches which flow smoothly from one position to another, without jerking or overreaching, are a far better way to go.  To that end, Ron has developed a Dynamic Warm Up that takes people through ten movements in about five minutes time. These movements are more like gentle calisthenics than stretches, but they serve both purposes. They elevate the heart rate, warm up the body, and stretch the muscles all at the same time.  You can review the ten movements, download a descriptive guide, and purchase a demonstration video by going to Ron's website.  They include spinal rotation, calf stretches, squats, back extensions, lunges, and shoulder retraction. In every instance, they encourage us to keep our backs straight (especially important for those who hunch over a computer all day).
  
  One thing I like about Ron's Dynamic Warm Up is that the movements can be done in tight quarters and in street clothes. A small office or hallway is all you would need. That makes it possible for people to practice the routine several times a day, regardless of location. In little more than five minutes, you can be well on your way to feeling better.  For those who exercise regularly, this is a great five-minute warm up. For both aerobic exercise and strength training, the Dynamic Warm Up gets the body ready for action. As one person reports, "Because of the Dynamic Warm Up, my workout regimen has completely changed and is now based on the movement and balance principles that you have taught. I can feel and see a positive difference in my physical fitness. With these new exercises, I am also able to do more of my workout time at home with my family participating in some of the exercises too."  Coaching Inquiries: Would you like to feel better? Do you have about five minutes a day for exercise? How and where could you find that time at the start of the day? Is there time for an exercise break in the middle of the day? What possibilities exist at the end of the day? How could you best incorporate simple calisthenics and dynamic stretches into your daily routine? What changes would you have to make? Who could do them with you?"  Bob Tschannen-Moran--Williamsburg, VA (President, LifeTrek Coaching International)

• "Starting everyday with the dynamic warm-up at the Ventura Unit seems to have fostered more dialog and teamwork between the staff and hourly folks at the Unit.  It seems that during these 5 minutes a day we are on a level playing field and perhaps see each other more as teammates rather than separate groups with different agendas.  Personally, my workout regimen has completely changed and is now based on the movement and balance principles that you have taught.  I can feel and see a positive difference in my physical fitness.  With these new exercises, I am also able to do more of my workout time at home with my family participating in some of the exercises too." Al Mueller-Ventura, CA (Manager of Operations, Aera Energy)
