Lenny Rose ActiveTraining notes, recovery habits, and everyday performance.

Effective warm-ups prime muscles and joints for exercise, reducing the likelihood of injury during training.

Why Dynamic Warm-Ups?

Dynamic movements increase blood flow and activate muscles through functional ranges of motion.

They prepare the nervous system for the demands of your workout.

Examples of Dynamic Warm-Up Exercises

Leg swings, arm circles, and walking lunges promote mobility and muscle activation.

Tailor exercises to target key muscle groups relevant to your session.

Timing and Intensity

Spend 5-10 minutes on dynamic warm-ups with moderate intensity to avoid fatigue.

Build gradually into your workout intensity.

Avoid Static Stretching Pre-Workout

Static stretching can temporarily reduce muscle strength and power before training.

Reserve static stretching for cooldown or separate flexibility sessions.
