Always warm up!

This is a repost of an article on warming up. We all know it's important to warm up. If you don't warm up and you start performing with cold muscles, you will most likely pull/hurt something. And we don't want that! Check it out!

Here is a great mental picture...

What happens when you put playdo in the fridge, then take it out and try to pull it apart? It breaks up.

It is the same with our muscles. You can harmfully tear your muscles if you don't warm them up first. I like to do a few loosening up the joints stretches. But very light, nothing intense. I then do a warm up and then stretch really good. I also like to stretch specific muscle groups after I finish really working them.
