In this episode, we continue our Walking Footballβspecific warm-up sequence and break down exercises 6 to 10 β all designed to prepare players safely and effectively without high impact or running.
We cover:
- A controlled activation drill to wake up hamstrings and glutes.
- A balance-friendly lift-and-step movement that opens hips and engages the core.
- A great whole-body drill that mobilises hips, groins, shoulders, and thoracic rotation.
- A fun, social, football-specific exercise that gets players passing, thinking, moving, and working together at walking pace.
- We also explain why rondos are so useful β improving movement, decision-making, defending, and confidence β and mention where to find deeper Rondo material in the Soccer Rondos book series.
By the end of this episode, youβll have a complete, safe, enjoyable warm-up routine perfectly suited for older Walking Football players.
