Stretch Out, Stay Fit

It is important to commit to a sufficient warmup and cool down in order to prepare yourself for your exercise routine and avoid time spent nursing an injury that can result in backsliding. If you do not spend the time doing the warmup exercises, your muscles are not prepared when you start the workout, and you will find this out the hard way through a painful and time-consuming injury.

Include Warmup Routines that Get the Blood Flowing

Even for those who use walking as their daily exercise, it is important to include exercises like toe circles and arm circles. These exercises get the blood pumping and also stretches out the muscles so they are prepared for the additional effort they will be putting forth in the near future.

Research Good Exercises for the Routine You have Planned

If you are unsure what exercises are necessary for the workout you will be doing, get online and do some research. There are countless exercise magazines and websites that regularly share information on the right workout routines, the right warmups and what to avoid. All of this can be helpful in planning your own appropriate warmups for your exercise routine.

Be Flexible in Your Warmup Routine

There will be some days that you need to do more of one exercise and less of another, because certain muscle groups are tighter than others. For that reason, be prepared to adjust the warmup routine as necessary, paying extra attention where necessary and perhaps cutting short another part of the warmup if those muscles seem ready to exercise.

There are many Bronx Yoga classes that will be a great addition to a workout routine. Those classes incorporate a warmup routine into the class, or they leave sufficient time at the beginning that you can warmup and seek guidance from the teacher if you so desire.

A New York Personal Trainer may be a great person to turn to if you are still unsure how to properly stretch and warmup for a workout. They can see what would be beneficial for you and teach you those exercises.
