Do I need to warm up before my workouts? For how long?



Yes, it is a good practice to warm up before exercising to prepare your body for the planned increase in physical activity and to reduce the risk of injury. A warm-up can help to increase blood flow to your muscles, improve flexibility and range of motion, and get your muscles ready to workout.


The amount of time you spend warming up will depend on the type and intensity of your workout. For most workouts, a good rule of thumb is to spend 10 minutes warming up. This could include light cardio such as jogging in place, cycling at a low intensity, as well as dynamic stretches that involve movement.


It's important to listen to your body and adjust the intensity and duration of your warm-up based on how you feel. You should aim to break into a light sweat and feel your muscles starting to loosen up, but you should not be so tired that you are unable to complete your workout.
