Warming Up When you are ready to begin your workout, warming up is very important. It prepares your body for exercise and gradually revs up your cardiovascular system, increases blood flow to your muscles and raises your body temperature. Stretching Stretching is very valuable as it gets your muscles ready to work out. It can balance your body, promote unrestricted movement and reduce the risk of overstressing or injuring muscles. Hold each stretch for at least 30 seconds. And remember to keep it gentle, don't bounce, sudden or aggresive movements may cause injury. Expect to feel some tension while you're stretching. If it hurts, back off to the point where you don't feel any pain. Relax and breathe freely throughout the stretch. When you feel losened up, you're ready to begin your workout. Remember to stretch after yor workout too. It will give your muscles a chance to "cool down" and relax.
