Introduction
Many of you are on tight schedules want to get into the gym, get sweating, and get out of the gym as fast as possible. Some of us may show up at our tennis matches 30 seconds before we’re supposed to start, and hop right in. This practice of skipping the warm up (whether it is before practice, before matches, and before workouts) is hurting you and setting your games back and also potentially increasing your risk of injury.
Benefits of Warming Up
Warming up is a way to prepare your body for the exercise that is about to happen. Taking time to warm up will increase your body temperature. Warming up will heat up your muscles, increase blood flow throughout the body to the working muscles and allow for easier and more efficient movement.
