Spend 5-10 minutes warming up to prepare your body for the workout and to help prevent injury.
Recommendation:
3-5 minutes of cardio of choice
3-5 minutes of dynamic stretches and warming up with light exercises
After your workout focus more on static stretches to cool down.
** Static stretches are those in which you are still and hold a single position for period of time, up to about 45 seconds.
** Dynamic stretches are those in which you are moving in a stretch.
