The warm up can be as simple or as difficult as you want it to be. the main reason that it is important, specifically before stretching, is to get blood flow through your muscle tissue at an elevated rate. You should be just beginning to break a sweat after a good warm up. Stretching is a little less straight forward. The goal is to loosen up muscles, whether they want to or not, and prepare them to do some work. Concentrating on big muscles is the best(i.e. your legs, chest, back). Some of the stretches should be static (leaning toward your toes) and some should be dynamic ( rotating your leg at the hip by bringing it up to the front, out to the side and back down to the start). This will help loosen your muscles up and go a long way toward preventing injury.Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05540012306017451502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4700062597231103027.post-84944461413765109842010-08-30T13:36:38.734-05:002010-08-30T13:36:38.734-05:00Hi!!

I am a 42 yr old, over weight chick that wants to finally take care of myself and have some fun. With that said ....

The other stuff I can pretty well figure out (I hope)....Thanx for your help!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10492889494709295540noreply@blogger.com
