Have you ever heard the saying, “just because you can, doesn’t mean you should”? Well, the saying certainly rings true when it comes to working out without a proper warm up.
Just because you can workout without doing a proper warm up, doesn’t mean you should. A proper warm up primes your body to move through your workout efficiently and feel good while doing it.
What mobility?
Mobility is a form of low-intensity movement that focuses on actively taking our joints through their full range of motion. It can be used as a dynamic warm up or cool down to help you feel your best during and after your workout.
A dynamic warm up allows you to:
- Increase heart rate and blood flow to muscles
- Increase muscle temperature
- Prime your nerve & muscle connections for movement
- Mentally prepare and take note of what movements feel tight or need extra love
- Reduce the risk of injury
A proper cool down will:
- Relax muscles
- Reduce prolonged soreness
- Gradually lower heart rate and muscle temperature, which reduces the risk of feeling lightheaded or ill
