The Importance of Warm Up Sets

'Like' https://facebook.com/RussHowePTI Fitness instructor Russ Howe reveals why warming up before a gym session is very important and why you should never do a weight training session without any kind of warmup.

Most people don't warm up with weights or pre workout stretches. While it is important to stretch, it is also quite important to perform a warm up set before you hit the weights rack. So what is the difference between a regular set and a warm up set?

A warm up set is performed with a lot less weight and higher reps. Many trainers don't even use a weight, and just utilize the warm up set to over-perform the movement of the exercise (i.e. Bench press, Squat, Deadlift, etc).

This reduces the risk of injury by a massive percentage and also increases your potential for the upcoming workout by warming up your muscles correctly. A warm up and cool down are very important parts of any serious gym user's workout session.
