Warming up your body prior to a workout will help to loosen up your muscles and joints and prepare them for the upcoming training session.
If you are unable to do a full workout due to injury, warming up with easy stretching exercises for the muscles where you will do the actual move can ease the pain and increase the overall intensity of the training session. While you don’t want to warm up too aggressively, you can start to do some light muscle manipulation to make the muscles more limber for example by jumping rope.
You could perform 5-10 static stretches, such as a side leg stretch while holding the other leg up in the air. You can also perform dynamic stretches to warm up the muscles in various ways. For example, you can try a variety of different arm rolls with the intent to isolate a muscle group and then move through a number of different postures to increase intensity. Warming up is vital to the success of a workout, either because you want your muscles to become more limber and loose and are unable to work out due to injury, or you want to increase the effectiveness of your training.

Your body starts to cool itself once the training session begins and continues to cool down as long as your muscles are at a high tension. Because muscle contractions during a workout burn more energy than static contractions, the cooling effect of exercise will be lessened if you continue to exercise your muscles as quickly as you did in the workout.

If you are having trouble performing a workout or an exercise due to injury, warming up can help to increase your range of motion and create a more flexible muscle so that you can perform an exercise correctly and fully, and not hurt yourself. There are many benefits for stretching after a workout and before bed. Stretching can improve blood flow, improve the flexibility of your body and muscles, improve performance, and increase the overall quality of your sleep.
