Fit Thursday- Warm Up

One majorly important thing that you have to do before strength training is to warm up. Without warming up your muscles, you could snap and pull them. Cardio with dynamic stretching is a great way to warm up and burn extra calories.

 

Here is a quickie warm up that you can do at home or at the gym, do three sets.

 

1. Jog in place for 60 seconds

2. Arm swings. stand with your feet hip width apart and swing your arms across your chest, as if you are giving yourself a big hug. do this for 30 seconds.

3. Hip circles. Stand with legs hip width apart. Put your hands on your hips and circle them, with a slow and controlled movement.

 

I'm not a fitness trainer. nor am I a nutrionist. So every workout or fitness tips are purely from my own experience.
