Are you in a hurry? Just like your car

needs time to warm up on these cold

mornings so does your body. Fitting in 5

to 10 minutes of a warm-up before you

workout is important for many reasons:

Warming up lubes you up. A lubricat-

ing liquid called synovial fluid

(hyaluronic acid) is excreted from thin

membranes in some joints in your body

such as your knees. This fluid helps to

reduce friction. Giving this slippery sub-

stance time to do its job can make your

workout much more comfortable, espe-

cially for those who suffer from arthritis.

Warming up helps you reach your

maximum potential during your work-

out. Giving blood vessels time to dilate

allows for more oxygen and glucose

from the blood stream to reach those

tired muscles so you can get that extra

rep or minute on the treadmill.

Don’t blow a gasket! Warming up

gives your heart and lungs time to get

used to the increased need for oxygen.

Without time for your blood vessels to

widen your blood pressure may reach

inappropriate levels and your heart mus-

cle may not be receiving the oxygen it

needs to cope with the increased work

load.

What is a good warm-up? I recom-

mend doing some form of cardiovascular

activity for 5 to 10 minutes at no more

than 50% of normal workout intensity

(AFAA and ACE 2000). Afterwards, I

suggest controlled rhythmic stretching

that takes your joints through a full range

of motion. Remember that extended

warm-ups are recommended for certain

individuals and it is best to consult with
