The number one rule that most people in the wellness and sports industry agree on is that you should be warm (increase your body temperature) before doing any stretching or exercise. But first warm up with movement, then flex or stretch at the end of the session, or anytime you feel like you need to.
Without a warm-up, stretching can result in injury when you try to stretch your tight muscles. Your warm-up could be a fast stroll or short aerobic exercise, or a combination of light aerobic exercise and light weight training, such as lifting a 5-pound dumbbell. The crucial part of any warm-up is keeping your heart pumping a bit faster than your average and your blood circulating.

To maximize your strength, you need to drive your muscles to work outside the comfort zone. Generally speaking, the more you drive your muscles, the stronger they will be. Similarly, to a certain degree, you need to overstretch to maximize your versatility. This is one of the reasons that it is so important to warm up.
Benefits of a Proper Warm-Up
A healthy total body warm up for 5 to 10 minutes before any exercise is necessary to avoid injury and to brace the body for the workout. Total body warm-up will raise the body’s elasticity by 20% to bring fluid into the joints. A good indicator that you are sufficiently warmed up and able to stretch and workout is when you find sweat/moisture appearing on your face back of your palms, or under your nose.
