Just about any car mechanic will tell you to not stomp on the accelerator right after a cold start in the dead winter. He know really well that a car's engine functions best when its fluids have had enough time to heat up so they can circulate efficiently. Our bodies act in the same, our joints, our systems, our muscles and all function better after a good time of adequate warm up. However, so few men apply this logic to the ultimate machines - their BODIES.
We all know well the reasons guys use to avoid warming-up before a workout:
"It's Boring", or
"I Do not have enough Time", or they may say
"All I need is Just a Couple of Warm-up Sets and I will be ready to Lift" (not really).
In fact, a descent warm-up will improve your range of motion in the joints that need to move. it also enhances the stability of those that don't, reducing your risk of injuries. a good warm-up jumpstarts your central nervous system, priming your muscles to play sports and to handle more weight so you can accomplish more in less time. and a great warm-up like the routine shown below, can do all in just 10 minutes.
