When undertaking any sort of physical training, it is important to start by warming up your muscles, since this will make them more pliable and thus less susceptible to injury. Self-myofascial release (or rolling) therapy is an effective warm-up that involves the use of a foam roller to ease out any knots deep within the muscle tissue, improve flexibility and performance, and reduce the risk of injury.

Although not strictly part of a warm-up regime, stretching should be carried out both during and after training to keep your muscles strong and pliable. Stretching also increasesblood supply to the joints, helps relieve pain and stress, boosts energy levels, and improves posture.
