What are the benefits?
Before beginning an any workout it is important to warm up for at least 10-15 minutes.
The purpose of warming up is to slightly increase your heart rate. This raises your core body temperature, increases the blood flow, and therefore the oxygen flow, to your muscles preparing them for a harder workout. Warming up also increases joint and muscle flexibility which will help with injury prevention during the workout.
