WARM UP

WARM UP

The warm up is basic in Physical Education. We do it everyday, so it is the first thing you must learn.

WHAT IS A WARM-UP

A warm up is a series of exercises you do before physical activity, to prepare your body for it. Benefits of the warm up: If you do a good warm up, you can get:1. Protection against injuries 2. Better performance

PARTS OF A WARM-UP

1. A short run with locomotion and coordination exercises like skipping. This is to warm up your heart and lungs, and also the muscles.
2. Movements of your joints (ankle, knee, hip, shoulder, elbow, wrist, neck and “finger”). We move our arms in circles forwards and backwards, we draw circles with our hips...
3. Stretching of the main muscles. This stretching must be dynamic because you are telling your muscles that you are going to start the physical activity.
