Warming up and Cooling down before weight trainingby David Kitchenham
A warm-up should begin with easy, low dynamic movements like jogging, skipping, or cycling. This will begin to increase your heart rate and body temperature. If skill or team sports are involved, the warm-up should then incorporate movement patterns that relate to the sport, e.g., passing practice in football. This will begin to prepare you psychologically as well as physically for the sport.
