WarM UPS - remember to do your daily 5 sTRETCHES
Why warm up?
Warming up prepares the body and brain for movement and learning. Isolated body part movement and full-body movement warm up all the muscles, increasing elasticity and helping to prevent injury. Aerobic movement oxygenates the brain to aid focus and attention.
