Before any physical activity, it is advisable to do a 'Warm-up'.
This should use all the joints in your body and can also include the moves that your main activity requires.
1. Protects your heart : Gradually raises your heart rate, reducing shock.
2. Improves blood flow: Increases blood and oxygen flow to tissue and muscle fibres.
3. Raises body temperature: Warms core and deep muscles for smooth movement.
4. Increases flexibility: Makes muscles and tendons stretchy.
5. Lubricates joints: Reduces stiffness and increases mobility.
6. Helps prevent injuries: Lowers the risk of strains, sprains and muscle tear.
