Warming up before a workout is crucial to staying healthy and taking care of your body. A lot of times the soreness we deal with after a workout comes due to the fact that we are not properly warming our bodies, and thus we are in fact pulling and straining muscles.

But why don’t people like warming up, when we know that it is so very necessary to remain healthy? Well, the answer is predominantly because people are not warming up properly.
