Doing some simple physical exercises before physical exercise is of great benefit to safe and effective exercise. Because in the cold winter, due to the cold stimulation, the elasticity or ductility of muscles and ligaments is obviously reduced, and the flexibility of whole body joints is much worse than that in summer and autumn. If you don't do warm-up exercise before exercise, it is easy to cause muscle ligament strain or joint sprain, which makes the exercise unable to proceed normally. Before exercise, all parts of the body and related areas of various systems are in a state of silence and inhibition. Warm-up exercise is to make all parts and systems of the human body gradually transition from a quiet and restrained state to an excited and nervous state, so as to prepare for the body to reach the maximum load during exercise.
Here are some simple warm-up exercises.
