Can we talk about warming up? I used to skip it every time.
For years, I jumped right into my home workouts without any warm up. I thought it was a waste of time and just wanted to get to the good stuff. Then, I started getting little aches and pains, especially in my knees and shoulders. I read online that a proper warm up can prevent injuries and even make your workout better. So, I tried adding just five minutes of light cardio and moving stretches. To my surprise, I felt more ready for the exercises and my form improved. Now, I never skip it, and those pains have mostly gone away. Has anyone else seen a big difference from warming up?
