A five-minute bodyweight warm-up for gamers that targets muscles that get weaker from long sitting and gets more blood flowing. Do two rounds of 10 air squats, 10 bent-over Ys, 10 push-ups with upward dog and 10 calf raises.
It uses simple bodyweight and functional moves, so you can do it right before a gaming session. The full routine is shown in a follow-along video.
