Are you warming up properly?
Before exercising, don’t skimp on the warm-up! Benefits include:
– Increased Muscle Temperature: (for a more forceful contraction and a quicker relax speed- enhancing both speed and strength and reducing the probability of overstretching a muscle, causing injury)
– Dilated Blood Vessels: (reducing the resistance to blood flow and stress on the heart)
– More Efficient Cooling: (better sweating to prevent overheating)
– Increase Blood Temperature: (helps make oxygen more available to muscles)
