Its that time of the year where we dissappear under layers of warm clothing. ..winter is here.
Its always a good idea to warm up and get muscles into work mode...when its cold/winter its critical that body gets a nice decent warm-up.
I see a lot of people stretching before they train...stretching a cold muscle is not wise...secondly, stretching sends a signal to the brain that tells the brain the work is over, we can relax now...and then you start a workout...see where im going with this...if you stretch before you train, you arebsetting yourself up for a fall...stretch when you done with training.
Warming up...
Any form of cardio for 8-10 min just to get heart rate going and get warm blood pumping throughout the entire body.
I suggest that your first exercise of your program should have at least 2 warm up sets with very light weights.
These sets are not counted as part of program. ..uts for safety reasons only.
Also. ..clothing plays a major role...dress appropriate... dress comfortably so movement is easy...
Everything is a little slower when its cold..so take your time and prepare your body if you want your body to perform optimally without injury.
Keep it warm...keep it safe
