Pre - Jogging Preparation - Why?

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.
