Kalarippayattu warm up exercises Part I

Begin with slow jumping, then gradually increase speed, aiming to touch bow ties to the chest area.

Perform hip-height jumps with both hands, then execute front and back jumps while changing foot positions to build warm-up readiness for Kalarippayattu.

Practice warm-up exercise 08, a jumping drill similar to the previous method, with the feet crossing the legs during each jump.

Perform a jumping warm-up that mirrors exercise seven, raise both hands to the top of the head while stretching each leg.

Do a standing warm-up by widening the legs, bending forward to hold the right foot with the left hand, raise the other arm, switch sides, and vary the pace.

Begin in a normal standing position, then lift one leg by bending the knee through front and back, maintain slide jumping for each knee raise, then switch legs.

Practice warm-up exercise 13 by starting in a normal standing position, placing feet two feet apart, extending hands forward, then doing sit-ups without fully sitting.

Practice warm-up exercise 21 from the Kalarippayattu warm-up series: jump into a leg stretch from a sit and stool stand, holding both hands on gotcha, then stretch both legs sideways.

Perform all warm up exercises in a single stretch, after three, and then do each one individually.
