A mobility coach says to use this four-move glute warm-up before your next workout if you spend all day sitting

I may write about fitness, but interviewing, researching and typing means I still sit a lot. While I aim to exercise regularly, I know that jumping straight from my desk to lifting weights or sprinting around the park is a recipe for injury, especially as I get older.

That's something Cody Mooney, former CrossFit Games athlete and managing partner of mobility app pliability, knows all too well. Over the years he's refined a short warm-up drill using a mini resistance band—commonly known as a booty band—and an exercise bike. He highly recommends doing this simple routine before any workout.
