Before the reps. Before the run. Before the grind.
How you prep your body sets the tone for the session and skipping mobility is one of the fastest ways to invite stiffness, sub-par performance, or injury.
Athletes who take recovery seriously use mobility not just to stretch but to activate. And pairing that work with ProHeat Cream by Rebound Recovery gives you an edge.
Here’s how it works, and five movement drills to make it stick.
Why ProHeat Enhances Your Warm-Up
ProHeat Cream is a natural warming cream designed to activate muscle groups and improve circulation before workouts.
It’s formulated with:
-
Turmeric to support inflammation response
-
Cayenne + Menthol for heat and blood flow
-
White Willow Bark for natural soreness support
Use it as part of your movement prep to:
-
Warm tissues faster
-
Reduce stiffness in tight areas (hips, hamstrings, calves)
-
Improve mind-muscle connection and range of motion
5 Drills to Pair with ProHeat
1. 90/90 Hip Switches
Unlock rotational hip function while activating glutes.
Apply ProHeat to outer hips and glutes before moving through the range.
2. Couch Stretch
Opens up hip flexors and quads, key for runners and cyclists.
Apply to quads and knees for added activation before holding 30–60 seconds each side.
3. World’s Greatest Stretch
Combines hamstring, hip, and thoracic mobility.
Use ProHeat across lower back and hamstrings to deepen your reach.
4. Wall Calf Stretch + Dorsiflexion Pulses
Improves ankle mobility and stride mechanics.
Apply ProHeat to calves and Achilles before loading into position.
5. Banded Shoulder Openers
Releases upper body tension, especially for overhead work.
Use ProHeat on shoulders or traps to loosen tissue and improve range.
When to Use This Flow
Use this warm-up protocol:
-
Before long runs or tempo sessions
-
Before lower- or full-body strength days
-
On recovery days to reduce tightness and maintain mobility
10–15 minutes of focused prep + ProHeat sets the tone for stronger, safer training.
TL;DR
-
ProHeat Cream activates muscles and boosts blood flow during warm-ups
-
Pair it with targeted mobility drills like 90/90s, couch stretch, and calf openers
-
Helps runners and hybrid athletes move better and feel looser before training
-
Works great before strength days, speed sessions, and endurance efforts
Wrap-Up: Activate, Don’t Just Stretch
