3 Effective Warm-Up Exercises
It’s tempting to skip warming up especially if you’re short on time and only have, say, 30 minutes to get an effective workout in. I get it- I really do. All of us are in a rush but trust me when I say warming up for even 5-10 minutes goes a very long way. Warming up serves a number of useful purposes such as reducing risk of injury, increases the amount of oxygen that’s being delivered to your muscles and helps to prepare the nervous system and cardiovascular system for WORK.
If you’re looking to get the most out of your workouts, do yourself a favor and set aside the five to ten minutes to prepare.
Here are three of my favorite warm ups to do before strength training. Try 2-3 sets each exercise for 10-15 reps each.
Inchworms ⠀
Spider-man w/rotation⠀
Dead-bugs ⠀
⠀Make sure your arm extends all the way out with the dead-bugs. (I just didn’t have the space to do so).
