#FitnessFriday Everyone probably has a coach that preaches a proper warm up. Do you know why a good warm up is essential? Here are a few reasons to be focused during your entire workout from warm up to cool down. • Increased blood movement to tissues, which increases suppleness of muscles. • Increased oxygen flow to muscles, which allows you to reach your VO2 max — your body’s maximum capacity to use oxygen during exercise. • Slow adjustment in heart rate, preventing rapid blood pressure increases. • Improved reaction time by engaging the fast-twitch muscles fibers and nerves connected to these fibers. Who makes sure they properly go through an entire work out?
