Everyday for YEARS, I see people walk into a gym and jump under weights or start a vigorous activity. That is detrimental to your Central Nervous System (CNS), Health and especially muscles and joints.
Imagine an elastic band that has been left in a freezer for an hour. In an hour, the band would have hardened and stiffened. Not warming up your muscles and joints before exercise is the same as a frozen rubber band. What do you think would happen if you tried to stretch the rubber band? Yes that’s right, it would break. Not warming up and exercising or lifting weights may cause you to tear, pull, strain muscles, joints and ligaments.
What does warming up do?
warming up prepares the body and CNS for activity. To be safer, it is important to raise your CORE 🌡🌡 by only 1%. So a proper warm up should last at least 3 minutes. Yes, you only need 3 minutes to warm up. A really good warm up last only 5 minutes. 3 minutes of running, cycling, rowing etc and 2 minutes Dynamic stretching.
let’s be clear, warming up, makes your exercise sessions more productive Studies have shown that you lift more weights, run better and have improve RANGE of MOTION when you warm up. warming up though WILL NOT prevent all injuries. You can still injur yourself even if you follow a warm up regimen. It does however lessen your risk of being sidelined from your fitness quest
So spend sometime warming up now that you know itd benefits and importance.

glad you asked @allieinbeautyland. Dynamic stretch is moving type of stretch. Example of Dynamic streching are Running in place, High knees, trubk twist and leg swings…. Static stretching is the opposite, it involves no movement..
Dynamic streches should be done right after warming up and static stretching at the enf of your exercise program.
