Personal trainer shares tips for warming up your body before exercise
Muscles tend to be more susceptible to injury and strain when the body is cold. People often don’t invest adequate time in warming up before exercise, or stretching after exercise sessions, which can contribute to muscle problems, as the body really needs this movement before and after exercise to keep healthy and pain free.
With that in mind, Thais Ghendov, a personal trainer who works for GetNinjas, a service platform, shared three simple and accessible exercise tips that can be done at home, especially for beginners who want to start exercising. Watch!
1. Stretching the back muscles
It is of great importance to stretch and warm up before exercise, and the main muscles to stretch are the back muscles of the thigh or the muscles behind the thigh. To stretch this muscle, you can spread your legs wider than your hips, keep your knees straight and, little by little, move your torso and arms towards the floor, trying to reach it.
2. Calf stretch
In some exercises As far as stretching is concerned, we can use the support wall, such as the calf stretch. To begin with, it is necessary to place the toe against the wall and leave the heel resting on the ground, thus keeping the toe firmly in place. This movement will help stretch the calf, the famous potato leg.
3. Buttocks stretch
OR stretching buttocks can be performed as follows: sit on the edge of a chair, perform the “4” (place the leg over the thigh). Then you can increase the degree of difficulty, bringing your torso forward and descending, bringing your hands and torso towards the ground.
Remember that all exercises should be done lightly, without feeling severe pain.
