Should you warm-up before each training session?
Warming up effectively before training is important to allow you body time to function correctly and perform at your best.
How many minutes should the warm-up you start every exercise session with last?
Warming up pumps nutrient-rich, oxygenated blood to your muscles as it speeds up your heart rate and breathing. A good warm-up should last five to 10 minutes and work all major muscle groups. For best results, start slowly, then pick up the pace.
Should you always do warm-up sets?
You need to do enough warmup sets that you are actually warm and ready for your work sets, but overdoing your warmups will drain you of energy that you need for the heavy work that provides the stimulus to drive adaptation.
What happens if you don't warm-up before playing?
Warming up helps you to gradually increase your heart rate and breathing to a level that will be able to meet the demands of your workout. If you start exercising at a strenuous level without warming up first, you will place unnecessary stress on your heart and lungs.
