What Happens During Aerobic Warm-ups

The aerobic warm-up helps to prepare your body, both physically and mentally, for the upcoming exercises by:

 Increasing circulation to your tissues.

 Preparing your heart for the upcoming exertions.

 Warming your tissues and thereby reducing your chances of injury.

 Making your muscles more flexible and ready for action.

 Priming and preparing your nervous system for new instructions.

 Improving your reaction times.

 Speeding healing of existing injuries.

 Increasing the mitochondrial function of your cells.

It may sound a little strange when we tell you to “warm up” your entire body, especially when you feel that your pain is localized in one area like your jaw, neck, or shoulder, and you just want to get started on resolving that particular issue.

But this initial aerobic workout (lasting for 10 to 15 minutes) is one of the first things you should do before you ever begin working on your injured or restricted areas, and definitely before you begin any exercise routine.
