It is important to have sufficient warm-up. Warm-ups serve to prevent injury, drastically improve the performance of the workout, and to get the mind ready to do an outstanding job.
Once you put on your workout clothes, you are stepping into a new world, a world of breaking records and becoming more. You must prepare the body for the victory you are about to have. Think of yourself as an athlete stepping into the arena getting ready for SHOWTIME. The Superfitt program includes general warm-ups, dynamic warm-ups, and specific warm-ups.
The program will start with a general warm-up to increase the body’s temperature, increase overall blood flow, and wake up the nervous system and cardiovascular system.
Then the Superfitt program will include dynamic movements and mix in specific movements for the muscles involved in the upcoming session.
The dynamic movements are designed to teach the muscles to move through a full range of motion and remain stable at all times. Your dynamic warm-up will consist of lunges, twists, and/or presses with a variety of equipment. Lunges are great for increasing flexibility to overcome tight hip flexors. The lunge forces the hip flexors to stretch and then contract quickly. The twists will wake up the core and get it ready to support you throughout the workout. The presses will ignite the upper body so that it knows it’s time to get busy. We also add in low-level hops and bouncing movements to heighten the nervous system and get the legs ready to perform.
In addition, to the many physical benefits of a good warm-up, it will also help get the mind focused and in the proper mental state to give optimal performance.
A cool-down provides the body with a valuable transition from exercise back to a state of rest. Flexibility is also an essential part of the cool-down to bring muscles back to their original resting length after a workout.
A proper cool-down can be 3-5 minutes of moderate cardiovascular exercise and 3 or more corrective stretches to bring the muscle’s back to their appropriate lengths.
