5-Minute Warm-Up Routine to Prevent Injuries

Why Warming Up Is Non-Negotiable

You wouldn’t start your car on a freezing morning and immediately floor the gas pedal 🚗💨 — the same goes for your body.

A proper warm-up increases blood flow, improves joint mobility, and reduces the risk of injury by up to 50%.
And the best part? You only need five minutes to do it right.

Step 1: Start with Dynamic Movement (1 Minute)

Dynamic movements gently raise your heart rate and activate your core.

🏃 Try this:

• 30 sec Jumping Jacks

• 30 sec High Knees

Keep your body moving — no static stretches yet.

---

Step 2: Loosen the Joints (1 Minute)

Joint mobility is crucial for smooth, pain-free workouts.

🔄 Try this:

• Arm Circles (forward & backward – 20 sec each)

• Hip Circles (20 sec each direction)

• Ankle Rotations (10 sec per side)

You’ll feel your body start to open up.

Step 3: Activate Key Muscles (2 Minutes)

Wake up your main movers before you load them with weight.

💪 Try this:

• Bodyweight Squats (3 sets of 10 reps)

• Glute Bridges (2 sets of 10 reps)

• Shoulder Taps (30 sec)

This helps prevent overuse injuries and improves form during training.

---

Step 4: Light Cardio Flow (1 Minute)

Finish your warm-up with light cardio to raise your core temperature.

🏋️ Choose one:

• Jog in place

• Jump rope

• Mountain climbers

By now, you should feel your heart rate up and muscles warm — ready to lift, run, or move safely.

Bonus Tip: Cool Down, Too

Don’t skip your cool-down after workouts — it helps remove lactic acid and speeds up recovery.
A few minutes of stretching post-exercise keeps your body flexible and injury-free.
