The Importance Of Warming Up

Most people skip it. Don't be most people.

A warm up is not wasted time. It is the difference between a good workout and an injury that sets you back weeks.

Here's what a proper warm up actually does:

Increases your body temperature — your muscles work better when they're warm. Cold muscles are stiff and more likely to tear.

Gets blood flowing to the right places — your body starts sending oxygen and nutrients to the muscles you're about to use.

Prepares your joints — your knees, hips, and shoulders need to be primed before you load them with weight.

Mentally locks you in — a warm up is a signal to your brain that it's time to work. It transitions you from whatever you were doing before to being fully present in your training.

A simple 5 minute warm up before any workout:

2 minutes of light cardio — walk, jog, jumping jacks
10 leg swings each side
10 arm circles each direction
10 bodyweight squats
10 hip circles

That's it. Five minutes. Every single time.

Your body will thank you and your workouts will be better for it.

Don't skip the warm up. 💪
