❌ Don’t skip the warm up!

☀️ A proper warm-up is essential for injury prevention, and to get your blood flowing!

☀️ So what is a proper warm-up? You need to start easy and build momentum with dynamic stretching and exercises that will activate the muscles you’ll be using in your workout.

☀️ Dynamic stretching involves movement. You never want to stay still in a stretch if you’re not already warm. You want to keep the flow in order to properly get warmed up and get the blood moving. 

☀️ How do you activate your muscles? If you’re going for a run, for example, you’ll want to do a light bounce and dynamic stretch for your calf muscles and your quads. And don’t forget those hamstrings! My favorite run warm-up are leg swings!

❣️ Save this one to refer back for some great warm-up exercises!
