It is very important to get your body ready for any form of activity to avoid any strain and to prepare your muscles for work. Another useful warm up for activities such as stretching and running involves use of dynamic stretching and strengthening, as well as moving the joints in circles, and gradually escalating the rate of the heartbeat. Here are some tips that could help you prepare you body to bend, twist and leap gracefully and effectively:
Dynamic Stretches:
To prepare your body for flexibility and agility, exercises or workouts, spend not less than 10 minutes doing some full body flexing warm up exercises that would resemble the activity that you are going to undertake. In dynamic stretching the joints are conditioned to go through their complete physiological range with muscles actively contracting. It enables more free blood flow to pass through muscles raising their temperature and joint Neuro muscular control coordination.
Some excellent dynamic warm-up moves for flexibility and agility include:
- Walking Lunges: Take the left leg and step forward, bending both knees to have each knee joint in a right angle with the ground. Push back up and repeat same leg, than switch leg. Concentrate on getting a long range of motion on the lunge, in addition to emphasizing the contraction of the glutes on that back leg.
- Lateral Shuffles: Start with feet shoulder-width apart and with your feet parallel to the direction of run. Move your weight to one foot, and moving the other foot, step sideways to another couple of paces in that direction. Pour autre fois, effectuez le shuffle latéral à l’envers. Move with control.
- Hip Circles: Some tips for striking those perfect stances include standing with feet a hip’s width apart. Try to circulate your hip in large circles repeatedly in clockwise and anti-clockwise motions. Experience you inner harmony while circling them, make your knees stay relaxed.
- High Knees: Bend each examining knee and at the same time throw your arms back and forward, as high as your waist if possible. This will involve hitting the faster cadence with your feet and ensure your lower leg does not go lower than parallel to the ground.
- Inchworms: Bend at the waist and get your legs beside your hands. Having your legs straight, transfer the hands ahead when your hips rise up. For an example if you are on a push up position bounce forward with you legs to pull your feet to your hands. Repeat.
Joint Mobility:
For limb movements and flexibility activities, the ankles, hips, spine, neck, shoulders, and wrists demand sufficient travelling distance.
And after your first dynamic stretching warm up, do another 5-10 minutes of stubbing your joints through their full range of motion to ‘lubricate the joint’ or ‘grease the groove’. Some key areas to mobilize include:
- Ankles: Sit with one leg extended. Place your hands over your ankle and do circular motions, bend and straighten your weak ankle. Repeat on the other side.
- Hips: Lying on the back, flex at the hip and knee, raising one leg towards the chest level. Take hold of the top of your right thigh, then turn your upper thigh in and out 5-10 times. Switch legs.
- Spine: Move your upper body side to side while leaving your lower body virtually unmoving. Look over each shoulder. Then bend side to side.
- Neck: Tilt your head to the right and left softly. R69278 Turn your head and bend each ear towards the shoulder. While performing mobilization to the neck region be careful not to cause any physical harm.
Perform this mobilization sequence for 1-2 cycles until your joints feel-fluid. This is a great technique it aims at stimulating proprioceptive nerves to elicit better body control for agility purposes.
Gradually Raise Heart Rate:
The last part of your warm up is to increase your heart rate further more to near your training intensity zone. This in typically an indication to your body and mind that, yes, soon the intensity is going to increase. After completing your joint rotations, finish warming up with 5 minutes of easy cardio activity such as:
- Jogging
- Jump Rope
- Cycling
- Rowing
- High Knees
Keep your pulse rate between 60-70% your Maximum Heart Rate for this segment. Your breathing should also slightly increase, however, you should still be able to look like you are talking to someone.
Conclusion:
In summary, an appropriate warm up to ready your body for optimized flexibility and agility includes:
1. 5 to 10 minutes into the warm up to full body dynamic stretches
2. 5-10 minutes to exercise large joints through their complete circles.
3. 5 minutes of low intensity warm up movements to increase the pulse rate
Continue the following sequence to warm up muscles, synovial fluids and increase blood circulation, get your body and brain ready for what is to come during your training. Always, warm-up stretches and joint preparation should cover parts of the body required most during a particular activity. Taking just 15-20 minutes to warm up adequately will certainly be repay by how your physique carries out as well as minimizes sufficient harm.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Here are answers to some common warm-up questions for flexibility and agility training:
1. Is it good to stretch before warm up exercise?
No it can be destructive, static stretching before warming up makes muscles weaker and less responsive in the short term. Static stretches may only be done after your workout.
2. But if you don’t have time for a full 20-minute warm up?
Spending time wisely is scarce- spend that time always on mobility, limited dynamic elements and on parts of your body that are active in your act. Skip the light cardio. Warm up helps a lot, even if it is 5-10 minutes.
3. In how many drills should I repeat my warm up sequence?
In most exercises, which take 45-90 minutes, it is enough to warm up at the beginning. In very lengthy practices greater than 2 hours performing a less rigorous warm up sequence in the middle of the practice session can rejuvenate the body.
4. The simplest sign is when you stop seeking authorization to do things, whether from your boss or yourself.
You won’t sweat much during an efficient warm up exercise session. Your muscles should be relaxed, joints flexible, your breathing and heart rate should be accelerated. On the mental level you should be sharp and ready to exercise.
5. Should I warm up prior flexibility exercises, and prior agility exercises?
Yes, perform a full warm up prior any form of exercise including skills with aspects such as balance, stretch, strength or otherwise. This helps to decrease the rates of injuries extremely significantly.
Conclusion:
Precisely, the preparatory stretching for the power movement in flexibility and agility warm-ups makes the body and mind ready for the workout. Warm up involves swinging your limbs through full ranges of motion, increasing your pulse rate slightly, and contracting the muscles that will be used in an activity. Sparing only 15-20 minutes for warm up boosts performance, mobility and Flexibility benefits increases faster, not mentioning the benefits of less injuries. Warm up before as a dynamic warm up before all agility or flexibility training sessions to poss the pain-free.
