EXPERT SUGGESTION

Ishaan Arora, a Karnal-based Body Building India Certified Fitness Trainer, suggested the benefits of a warm-up session before doing exercise. 

FLEXIBILTY

Starting your workout with light stretches helps reduce the risk of injury and strain. It helps improve muscle elasticity and joint flexibility.

INCREASED BLOOD FLOW

Doing warm-ups can lead to an increased heart rate and blood flow. The Journal of Exercise Rehabilitation states that warm-ups boost oxygen and nutrient supply, which results in improved efficiency.

INCREASED BODY TEMPERATURE

According to Ishaan Arora, warming up before exercise can increase your body temperature, making your muscles more flexible, which reduces the risk of getting injured.

IMPROVED CO-ORDINATION

Adding a warm-up to your pre-workout routine may help improve mind-muscle coordination as it activates the muscles for the workout session.
