How to prepare before exercise

People who exercise regularly know that no matter what exercise we do, we must do corresponding preparation work before doing it, which is also to ensure the normal progress of the exercise. But how should we carry out the preparation work for the preparation work? Most people are actually not clear about this question. In fact, the preparations before these exercises also have corresponding requirements and standards. Only by following these can we reap the most beneficial rewards. Therefore, in response to this issue, let’s explore the preparations before exercise.

The preparations before exercise include:

1. It is common sense for every exerciser to do adequate warm-up exercises before exercising. However, many exercisers know little about the mechanism and requirements of warm-up activities. Therefore, even though they have done some warm-up activities before exercise, injuries may still occur during exercise.

2. Generally speaking, each warm-up activity generally includes two parts: general exercises and specialized exercises.

3. General warm-up exercises include walking, running, jumping, calisthenics, etc., which involve a wide range of parts, from the neck, torso, arms, legs to the feet. Exercises should be gentle and meticulous.

4. Specialized preparatory activities are exercises adopted according to the characteristics and requirements of different projects. Their function is to make the cerebral cortex produce unique and appropriate excitability for a certain sport or skill. Generally, you should jog for three to five minutes before exercise to speed up blood circulation and stretch the muscles and joints of the whole body to help prepare them for the subsequent exercise.

5. The amount and duration of warm-up activities should vary according to time, place and person. Generally, the time is longer in winter and shorter in summer. The intensity is such that the whole body becomes hot and slightly sweaty. The heart rate and blood pressure should be higher than when you are at rest. It is best to exercise until the joints of the limbs are flexible, the body is relaxed, and you feel eager to try.

I believe that at this moment, most people have a general understanding of the preparations before exercise. And after we have learned it, we must put it into practice. The so-called applying what we have learned actually means that before any future exercise, it would be best for us to do these preparatory work. Only by following the above requirements and completing all the preparations can we obtain the greatest benefits of exercise.
