Warm Up

Question 1

Why perform a warm up

Answer 1

We perform optimally and better avoid injury after a warm-up

Question 2

1st step

Answer 2

Warm your joints, muscles, and prep your body for exercise with mobility movements. Start by rolling your back, then hit every section of the legs, glutes, and hip flexors

Question 3

2. Get your heart pumping

Answer 3

Increased heart thumping warms up your muscles and switches on your nervous system. Jog, slowly row, or ride a bike on low resistance.

Question 4

3. Do some dynamic stretches.

Answer 4

Stretch your warm muscles, but don’t hold it. Remember: Static stretching during a warm-up can actually hinder your performance. Instead, do dynamic stretching, which involves continuously moving through a range of motion. For instance, you can make big arm circles in both directions, kick your legs forward, or simply touch your toes and then reach for the sky. The key is to not hold in any position.
