Warming up before any type of physical activity is crucial. It reduces our chance of injury, increases our body temperature in preparation for exercise and improves range of motion in advance of your movement. What’s more, improving your blood flow during your warm up aids the transportation of oxygen for more efficient muscle function in your workout.
No matter what type of exercise you choose, or how busy your schedule is, it is critical that you don’t skip a warm up. Using a massage gun pre workout can help.
