Importance of warm up in your exercise regimen

It is very important to warm up before embarking on any physical activity to lessen the chances of pulling a muscle, ligament or tendon. The warm up can be compared to a balanced breakfast that fuels your body and mind in the morning, preparing it for a hard day of work. A proper warm up will take a good ten to fifteen minutes and will loosen muscles that, left tight, can cause injury.
An easy way to warm up is to mimic the exercise you are planning to engage in. For example- slow, light stretching of arms over the head and to the sides can eventually lead to a vigorous game of tennis.
Never overexert yourself during the warm up since it can cause fatigue by building up an oxygen debt. This is called an anaerobic state, which can end up tiring you out before you have even begun to really exercise. Remember, treat the warm-up like a slow motion exercise, a light, essential step that can make planned exercise a safer and more enjoyable activity.
Older people have a low percentage of body water and are more susceptible to dehydration. Therefore, it is important to drink water regularly before, during, and after exercise.
