What does it mean to warm up in the gym?
Warm-up in the gym refers to a warm-up activity before exercise, and its purpose is to adapt the body to the coming intensity and exercise mode. In the process of warm-up, it can help joints and muscles to prepare better and prevent injuries and strains caused by exercise. Therefore, the importance of warm-up must not be ignored before exercise, especially for beginners or people who have not exercised for a long time.

There are many ways to warm up. You can choose aerobic exercise, such as running, skipping rope and cycling. Or you can choose some simple activities, such as kicking and clapping. Different exercises need different ways to warm up, which can be chosen according to personal habits and preferences. Generally speaking, the warm-up time lasts about 10- 15 minutes. Too long time will lead to physical fatigue and affect the exercise effect.

In addition to warm-up activities, there are some other preparatory activities that can help us exercise better. For example, correctly wearing sports shoes and sportswear before exercise can effectively reduce the friction and discomfort caused by exercise; In diet, we should also supplement energy appropriately. You can eat some fruits or energy bars to improve the exercise effect. In short, in the process of fitness, warm-up can not only improve the exercise effect, but also protect the body and make fitness more beneficial.
