What to do

Before going into what should and should not be done, in warming up. It is important to know the difference between a static stretch and a dynamic stretch. Stretching can come in handy as a complement to our warm-up.

• We understand static stretching, when you lengthen a muscle and keep it for about 10-30 seconds.

• On the other hand, a dynamic stretching involves quick active movements through small exercises.

• Use active exercises that will gradually mobilize the muscles within your range of motion. Do 8-10 repetitions.

• The goal is to get the blood flowing and increase the temperature of your body. Intensity is important, but more important is keeping pace.

• Depending on the exercises you are about to perform, focus your warm-up on those exercises that can help you to start activating the muscles.
