Warming up before a workout is important to prepare your body for physical activity, reduce the risk of injury and improve performance. There are different ways to warm up, but the best way to warm up before a workout is to start with a low-intensity aerobic exercise like jogging or cycling, followed by dynamic stretching. Dynamic stretching involves moving your joints through their full range of motion and is more effective than static stretching at improving flexibility and preventing injury.

Other effective warm-up exercises include bodyweight exercises like push-ups, lunges, and squats. These exercises activate the major muscle groups and increase blood flow to the working muscles. The warm-up should last around 10-15 minutes and gradually increase in intensity to match the activity you will be doing during the workout.
