While warmth applied to the outside of the body warms the skin and parts of the muscles close to the skin''s surface, it doesn''t effectively warm the muscles, particularly the deep-seated muscles and tendons." "The idea behind warming up is to prepare the muscles for physical activity, You want to improve flexibility, strength, extensibility of the tendons and blood flow to the muscles. It should definitely be part of the preparation to any sport." Bodybuilders are at higher risk for soft-tissue injuries/traumas than most other athletes because of the heavy loads they place on their muscles. Kibbler says bodybuilders should warm superslowworkouts up the entire body, not just the muscle to be worked, to maximize the benefits of weight training and minimize the risk of injury. When weight training, your warm-up should include: Light, aerobic activity -- jog in place, ride a stationary bike, use a stair climber or treadmill -- for 4-7 minutes. Static stretches -- for each of the muscle groups, especially those about to be worked.
