Warm Up

The Pre-Show Before The main Event

Most athletes perform some type of regular warm-up and cool down during training, and I also believe that it is just as important for us do so as well. Boring, but it`s of the utmost importance.. we`re athletes as well! A proper warm up will increase the blood flow to the working muscle which results in decreased muscle stiffness, less risk of injury and improved performance. It will also stimulate the central nervous system, which will allow you to recruit more muscle fibers.. At that time the body and mind will be ready to act within the necessary parameters required to complete its task at hand.

While warming up your core temperature will increase, which will improve muscle elasticity and reducing your risk of strains and pulls. A warm muscle also contracts more forcefully and relaxes more quickly. In this way both speed and strength can be enhanced,the probability of overstretching a muscle and causing injury is far less. The range of motion around the joints are increased, while causing the blood vessels to dilate which reduces the resistance to blood flow and lowers the stress on the heart. It is also a good time to mentally prepare for the task by clearing the mind, increasing focus, reviewing skills, strategy and building concentration.

Start implementing a great warm up in to your routine, and watch the difference in your training regiment explode to new heights. If I can do it, you can as well!
