A good warm-up increases blood flow, improves joint lubrication, and helps your nervous system fire the right muscles at the right time.
\nStart with 3–5 minutes of light cardio: brisk walking, cycling, or easy rowing to gently raise your heart rate.
\nFollow with controlled dynamic movements such as leg swings, arm circles, and hip circles to take joints through a comfortable range of motion.
\nFinish with 2–3 lighter sets of your main lift for the day, gradually adding weight until you reach your working sets.
