WARM UP

Why warm up? Is it really that important to warm up the body before you start training? Yes, it is.

A proper warm up can increase the blood flow to the working muscle which results in decreased muscle stiffness, less risk of injury and improved performance. Additional benefits of warming up include physiological and psychological preparation.
