Why you should get your heart going before you exercise. In our time-crunched lives, it's easy to skip steps we feel aren't essential to our workouts, but forgoing a warm-up is never a wise move.
Before you take an aerobics class or lift a single dumbbell, you should always warm up, say fitness experts. Why? Your muscles and joints needs time to loosen and limber up before participating in any fitness activity. When muscles are warm they're more pliable, which reduces your chance of injury. All it takes is a quick 5- to 10-minute brisk walk or slow jog-just until you break a light sweat and notice that you're breathing a little heavier than before. Bookmark:            Trackback(0)
