- I want to give you a few options to get started. The first list below is going to look at daily movements that should be considered as good warm up and cool down options. These movements should be done daily 8-12x. If any of the movements below cause pain then try to adjust the movements to make it less painful by going through less motion or hold off on that movement all together.
