Exercise Challenge
Have you even thought about why it is important to warm-up before a big workout? Warming up your body gives your muscular and cardiovascular system a kickstart by increasing your heart rate and blood flow to your body. It also helps to reduce injuries while reducing muscle soreness. Think of putting a rubber band in the freezer for an hour and then taking it out and trying stretching it. Chances are it will not flex much due to the fact that it is not warmed up. Now take a rubber band that has been in your pocket for an hour and pull it out. If you stretch it, it will be very forgiving and you should be able to stretch it and change its shape. So, when you are exercising do a few activities to warm up your muscles, and do some muscle stretching. Then you'll be ready for more strenuous, vigorous activities.
