overall performance. First, warm-up for 5-10 minutes at a low 

intensity (such as the elliptical machine, exercise bike, or 

treading mill) and stretch the muscles used.

If your workout time allows it, a cardiovascular exercise for 

at least 20 minutes at a faster pace is recommended. Then, a 5

-10 minute cooldown at low intensity should be completed. cool 

down for 5-10 minutes at a low intensity (50-60 per cent of 

your maximum heart rate). Now that you've warmed up, you should 

stretch every major muscle group.
It results in far less muscle-pulling overextension injuries

compared to not stretching.

Simple stretches increase range of motion.

occuring.

Stretching gives you more flexibility, which prevents soreness,

allowing for faster recovery and better muscle growth.
