Many people complain that they don’t have time to do a warm-up routine before they exercise. They have a limited amount of time, and they want to spend it on the actual exercise.  What any expert or any health care company like Cinergy Health will tell you is that you’re doing yourself a disservice.

Warming-up helps to loosen your limps and to stretch your muscles.  It helps you to prevent injury as it decreases muscle stiffness and decreases the risk of overstretching your muscles.  Warmed muscles actually increase your speed and strength and reduce your risk of strains.  Warm-ups also add to your range of motion.
