How to Warm-Up:<\/strong><\/h5>\n

Follow this with dynamic stretches\u2014movements that gently stretch your muscles while you\u2019re in motion. For example, leg swings and arm circles are excellent choices. Avoid static stretches (holding a stretch for a prolonged period) during warm-ups, as they can temporarily weaken muscles.<\/p>\n
