Get an effective and efficient workout routine with a proper warm-up.
Often people are tempted to hit on to the heavy lifting machine or main workout very quickly without a warm-up or right after a quick stretching session. You might just have a little time and want to do a quick 10-mins workout and think that you must skip the warm-up and go straight to your main workout so you'll have a time efficient workout.
Sadly, skipping the warm-up is NOT efficient or effective at all for your muscles. You will always need to activate your muscles before any kind of workout routines. Warm-up cannot be skipped, it's the most important session before hitting your main training. In resting, your muscles relatively receive a little blood flow. Blood supplies oxygen and other compounds to your muscles so they can work optimally.
With a low intensity warm-up, your heart will slowly start to pump more blood to your muscles.
"A warm-up allows exercisers to start their workouts with elevated VO2 levels—the amount of oxygen the body takes in and uses per minute—resulting in improved high-intensity, short-duration, and even endurance performances." - Sports Medicine Research
