Warming up before you exercise
Warming up your muscles prior to exercise in the Gym or before a ZUMBA class not only energizes your body, but encourages it to use more calories during your workout.
The other side effects to a warm up are:
• Produces faster, more forceful muscle contractions.
• Helps to prevent injuries by improving elasticity of muscles.
• Increases metabolic rate to deliver oxygen to muscles more quickly.
• Better muscle control.
• Creates better respiratory health.
• Improves range of joint motion.
• Establishes your focus on your workout.
Feel free to ask Staff for ideas to get your body warmed up prior to exercise.
