Why we warm up?

Warming up our bodies is extremely important. There are five reasons why we warm up.

They are:

To prevent injury.
To build muscle strength and endurance.
To increase blood circulation.
To perform physical activity to the fullest.
To be prepared physically and mentally for the physical activity.
