...is essential to a good workout. A warm up prepares the muscles for work. We use the crossfit warm up (CFWU) most days - 10-15 reps of pull ups, sit ups, push ups, hip/back extensions, pvc overhead squats. If the work is going to include cleans or snatches sometimes a set or two of those lifts with PVC is a good warm up. An easy 1/4 mile to mile run is a good warm up for some workouts. When the workout is heavier lifts such as max deadlift a set or two at lighter weights is a good warm up. The point is to get blood flowing to the muscles that are about to be working. Often times when I go to workout I feel like my body just isn't capable of performing the workout, but after a good warm up I'm ready. A good warm up will improve the effectiveness of your workout and decrease the chances of injury. Don't skip the warm up!
