Warm Up and Cool Down
WHY?
- to increase heat throughout the body
- to increase the movement of blood through your tissues, making the muscles more pliable and therefore reducing the risk of strains and tears
- to assist in mental preparation before exercise
- to increase the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to your muscles
- to prepare your muscles for stretching
