Warm Up
A "Warm Up" is a series of light exercises or activities performed before engaging in more intense physical activity or sports. The primary purpose is to prepare the body for exercise by increasing blood flow to the muscles, enhancing flexibility, and reducing the risk of injury. Common warm-up activities include stretching, jogging, or dynamic movements that mimic the upcoming workout.
Warm-ups can vary in duration and intensity, typically lasting from 5 to 15 minutes. They are essential for athletes, such as those participating in basketball or soccer, as well as for individuals exercising at home or in the gym.
