#Warmingup is INTEGRAL, not optional, to your #workout. In its truest context, #exercise is planned, structured, and repetitive (Marcus and Forsyth, 2009) physical activity. Carefully considering YOUR TRUE # level of fitness & #fitnessgoals enables you to RIGHTLY CHOOSE your #exerciseroutines, as well how often you should exercise. No matter what you do: WARM UP! Get your #bodymoving, get your #bloodflowing, #raiseheartrate with #dynamicstretches (#jumpingjacks, #walkinglunges, and, in my pic, hitting it hard on # elliptical or # treadmill for 5-10 min.). WARM UP MUSCLES YOU PLAN ON WORKING. My elliptical work prepares my #LEGS for #legday. How do you KNOW you're WARM? Heart rate & breathing INCREASE, you should begin #sweating and should FEEL WARM, hence, warm up. Warming up PREPARES the body for work & will help REDUCE #injuries, when #propertechnique is used. Therefore, the WARMUP is not optional. Take your time easing into your workout. You are pursuing LONG TERM good habits & results, so warming up is # invested work to your overall fitness goals. #Warmingup # elliptical warmup #intervaltraining #pursuingfitness #preparingtowork #resistancetraining #karlapetersenexercisephysiologist #fitness # physical fitness #noinjuryzone # cardiovascular #shelifts #myfitnessjourney #51andfit #fitthroughmy50s #51andfit #turningitup #intervaltraining #mygym #mygymanytimeanywhere #moreleanin2015 #exerciseinchaos #rejoiceinstrength (at UFC Gym Plano)
