Do you warmup before you exercise? Here’s 3 reasons why you need to add warming up to your fitness routine:
1. Warming up helps the body to deliver oxygen and increase blood flow to your muscles.
2. Warming up increases body temperature, which reduces the chance for injuries.
3. Warming up increases your range of motion allowing your joints such as your shoulders and knees to reach a greater movement potential.
Warming up can be more than just running on a treadmill or riding a bike. Here are 4 warmup exercises by Sabrina that you can perform that will help activate your body from your head to your toes.
