Any exercise should start with warming up activities. Especially when we are just whacked up from a night sleep and body rest. Our blood circulation is probably on steady flowing through out the body.
To avoid any potential injury during our jogging or after jogging, many experienced joggers advise to have a warming up first.
Warming up can be a very simple exercise and it depends on the individual. For regular joggers, it may take a few minutes to stretch out and feel warm very fast. Some individuals may take 2 to 3 minutes to stretch out and feel warm. At this stage, we can feel that our blood is pumped a little bit faster as well as our heart pumping rate may pick up a bit too.
Beside that, our muscle will tend to loose and relax instead of remain stiff. This will give us much easier to jog or run with less chances of getting any injury, such as muscle cramp or pain at joints, etc.
So, make sure that we follow expert advice and enjoy our jogging programme.

What are the good things out of Jogging
Here are some extracts from internet::
1. Healthy Heart (from familydoctor.org)
a. What's the best type of exercise for my heart?
Aerobic exercise causes you to breathe more deeply and makes your heart work harder to pump blood. Aerobic exercise also raises your heart rate (which also burns calories). Examples of aerobic exercise include walking, jogging, running, swimming and bicycling
b. How much exercise do I need?
In general, if you haven't been exercising, try to work up to 30 minutes, 4 to 6 times a week. Your doctor may make a different recommendation based on your health. If you can't carry on a conversation while you exercise, you may be overdoing it. It is best to alternate exercise days with rest days to prevent injuries
2. Jogging 'prolongs life'
Jogging is good for you
By BBC Health Correspondent Richard Hannaford
Scientists have come up with conclusive proof that jogging is good for you.
This research suggests that a regular moderate or even strenuous activity, such as jogging, is good for us.
Lead researcher Dr Peter Schnohr, of the Copenhagen City Heart Study, told BBC News Online: "Jogging has a positive effect on blood pressure, cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol, weight, diabetes, smoking, and other confounders, but we adjusted for these in the analysis.
"So there is further a residual effect of jogging."
