Description
Warm up before you stretch. But what does a warm-up actually change? Get your heart rate up and blood flow increases, your muscles heat up and nerve signals travel more efficiently. A warmer muscle is temporarily less stiff than a cold one, so it handles range far more easily, and every leg swing, back wave and hip circle tells your brain that range is coming.
Light jogging, star jumps, hip circles and controlled leg swings first. Then stretch. Don't warm up by stretching. Warm up so you're ready to stretch.
