Don’t for get to warm up and cool down. Warming up is going to get your body ready to exercise by increasing body temperature and increasing blood flow to the muscles. Choose an activity that will use the same muscles that you will use in your work out. Cooling down is going to return your body back to pre- exercise state by decreasing heart rate and will decrease your risk of muscle soreness or muscle injury. Also don’t forget to stretch. Stretching will bring muscles back to original resting length, and it will help increase flexibility and improve range of motion at the joints.
