A PhD, with the department of exercise science and physical education at State University, agrees. "Warming up implies temperature, but just increasing body temperature does not mean your muscles are ready for intense activity." She supports the practice of moving through the entire range of motion during the warm-up phase of a workout to not only increase muscle temperature, but to also stretch the muscles. Warm-ups are important not only for injury prevention but also for optimal strength and performance. Powerlifters and strength trainers alike lift light weights and thoroughly warm up before going heavy. Whether you''re bodybuilding, doing aerobics, swimming, mountain-biking, rock climbing or even doing yoga, your mind and body benefit significantly by warming up, enhancing both your enjoyment of the experience and the results.

"The idea behind warming up is to prepare the muscles for physical activity, You want to improve flexibility, strength, extensibility of the tendons and blood flow to the muscles. It should definitely be part of the preparation to any sport." Bodybuilders are at higher risk for soft-tissue injuries/traumas than most other athletes because of the heavy loads they place on their muscles. Kibbler says bodybuilders should warm up the entire body, not just the muscle to be worked, to maximize the benefits of weight training and minimize the risk of injury. When weight training, your warm-up should include: Light, aerobic activity -- jog in place, ride a stationary bike, use a stair climber or treadmill -- for 4-7 minutes. Static stretches -- for each of the muscle groups, especially those about to be worked.

The instructor--a striking woman dressed in an oversized black T-shirt and baggy black sweatpants, with a shock of braids tied up overhead--glides effortlessly to the right in an intricate sequence of hip-hop dance steps. The 30-odd students behind her mimic each move to a T. “Turn it, turn it!” she yells, and everyone reverses field. “Grapevine! Do it!” Only by screaming into a handheld mike can she momentarily raise her voice above the music. “Grapevine, grapevine! One more, one more! Five, six, seven . . . Whe-e-e-e-e-e-e-w! All right!” After 10 minutes of this, the instructor stops the tape. By now her students are sweating rivers and sucking wind, but they appear to be having the time of their life.
